Cassie Testifies Against Diddy in Sex Trafficking Trial, Reveals $20 Million Settlement

Casandra "Cassie" Ventura has taken the stand in the ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial against Sean "Diddy" Combs, providing detailed testimony about years of alleged abuse during their relationship. In her sworn testimony, Ventura revealed that her 2023 civil lawsuit against Combs was settled for $20 million, bringing this information to public knowledge for the first time.

Ventura's testimony spans multiple days in Manhattan federal court, where she detailed a pattern of alleged physical and sexual abuse beginning in 2007. She recounted how Combs allegedly threatened her over her relationship with rapper Kid Cudi in 2011 and described participating in "hundreds" of what she called "freak offs" during their time together.

One of the most serious allegations came from Ventura's testimony that Combs raped her after their breakup in 2018. The psychological trauma from these experiences reportedly continued long after their relationship ended, with Ventura testifying about suicidal thoughts as recently as March 2023.

"I just felt trapped," Ventura stated during her second day of testimony, describing her life with Combs. She also revealed a disturbing incident in March 2023 when she "tried to walk out the door into traffic" due to flashbacks of the alleged abuse but was stopped by her husband, Alex Fine.

Ventura's testimony includes accounts of Combs allegedly using videos for blackmail purposes and multiple instances of physical assault, details that prosecutors consider valuable evidence in their case against the music mogul.
