Cassie's dramatic statements in the process against Diddy: A look behind the scenes

Vienna, Österreich - The ex-girlfriend of Sean "Diddy" Combs, Casandra Ventura, completed her testimony after four days. According to [vienna.at] (https://www.vienna.at/aussage-von-rapper-Combs-Effy Freundin-width/9408656), Ventura said that she felt "worthless" through Combs' treatment. Particular attention was paid to the civil agreement, in which Ventura received $ 20 million (approx. 18 million euros), which she would return if she would still have to take part in the "Freak Offs" mentioned by Combs. She described these "freak offs" as drug and sex parties.

COMBS, who went to court on May 12, 2025, faces serious allegations. He is made five charges, including sex trading, blackmail and the incorporation to prostitution. He did not guilty on all charges. The public prosecutor, led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson, accuses Combs to have forced Ventura into a violent romantic relationship in which he controlled her music publications and promised her a supposed 10-album agreement.

accusations and evidence

The relationship between Cassie and Combs lasted over a decade from 2007 and was characterized by recurring conflicts. Ventura reported shocking incidents, including that Combs kicked her face in a dispute in 2009. The court video, which shows Combs, how he physically attacks Ventura is also a central evidence in this procedure. Despite the attempts of the defense to rule out the video from the procedure, it was preserved as an important piece of evidence.

The process is considered forward -looking for many women who have experienced abuse in the entertainment industry. Cassie's husband, Alex Fine, sits at her side during the procedure and offers support.

reactions and outlook

Ventura said that the days in the court were both "extremely challenging" and "healing". According to her statement, she was relieved and happy to complete this chapter of her life.
