Takeaways from Cassie Ventura’s cross-examination in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ trial

  • Sean 'Diddy' Combs' legal team began cross-examining Cassie Ventura, the prosecution's star witness, during his 2025 sex trafficking trial in Manhattan.
  • The cross-examination follows Cassie's testimony of alleged years of abuse and coercion linked to their nearly 11-year volatile relationship, amid Combs' denial of charges.
  • Cassie detailed accusations of physical and sexual abuse, including rape in 2018 and forced participation in drug-fueled sex parties called 'Freak Offs', which Combs' defense says were consensual.
  • Cassie disclosed a $20 million 2023 settlement of her lawsuit against Combs and stated, "I just didn't want to feel scared anymore," highlighting her fear of public videos.
  • The trial, which could last two months, will determine Combs' fate, as he faces decades in prison if convicted, while the court aims to complete Ventura's testimony before her upcoming childbirth.
