In a gripping testimony during Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial in Manhattan, singer and model Cassie Ventura broke down in tears as she recounted years of alleged abuse by the music mogul. Ventura, 38, detailed experiences of physical violence, coercion, and sexual assault throughout their decade-long relationship.

Ventura testified that Combs raped her in 2018 after she ended their relationship. She described the incident as swift and terrifying, stating, "I just remember crying and saying no, but it was very fast."

The courtroom was shown explicit images from alleged "freak offs"—drug-fueled sex parties involving escorts—which prosecutors claim were orchestrated by Combs. Ventura expressed deep shame over her participation, stating, "I can't carry the shame, the guilt, the way he treated people like they were disposable."

She also recounted a 2011 incident where Combs allegedly assaulted her upon discovering her brief relationship with rapper Kid Cudi, threatening to blow up Cudi's car—a threat that coincided with an actual explosion in Cudi's driveway.
