During her second day of giving testimony at Sean âDiddyâ Combsâ trial in New York, Cassie Ventura testified that she âdidnât want to be alive anymoreâ due to PTSD from their relationship and broke down in tears in court.
Ventura, who is eight and a half months pregnant, was in a relationship with Combs for more than a decade. She began her testimony on May 13th and is expected to be at the stand for several more days.
Combs is charged with five counts of sex trafficking, racketeering, and sexual abuse. He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
Earlier in the testimony, which is scheduled to last more days, Ventura detailed âfreak-offsâ, her âoff-and-onâ addiction to opiates, and testified that she sometimes had persistent urinary tract infections when she and Combs were having frequent âfreak-offsâ. She called the pain of enduring the activities during this illness âhorrible.â
Ventura was probed by the prosecution on the end of her on-off relationship with Combs and revealed details of a dinner they shared in Malibu in 2018, which she attended for âclosureâ reasons.
While the meal was âromanticâ and âniceâ, Ventura testified it took a dark turn when Combs drove her back to her Hollywood apartment, âHe raped me in my living roomâ, she alleged in court. âI remember crying, saying no, but it was very fast.â
She claimed his eyes went âblackâ and he ejaculated inside her despite her screaming ânoâ before he left the apartment.
After the alleged rape, Ventura said they had consensual sex on another occasion, explaining, âWe had been together for over 10 years. You donât just turn feelings off that way.â Before the trial, they were last in the same room for Kim Porterâs funeral in 2018.
Ventura also said that in 2023, before the allegations against Combs surfaced, she was âspinning outâ and says she âdidnât want to be alive anymoreâ due to âhorrible PTSD flashbacksâ. The singer told the court amid bursting into tears, âI tried to walk out the front door into traffic, and my husband would not let me.â She later began to seek trauma therapy and rehab for drug problems.
She also wrote a book detailing her experience of the, which she claims to have sent to Combsâ team, but âit wasnât taken seriouslyâ and she âwanted to be compensated for the many, many yearsâ.
Ventura then filed a civil lawsuit against Combs in November 2023, which was settled less than 24 hours later for $20 million. Upon her involvement in the federal trial, she told the court, âIâm here to do the right thing. I canât carry this anymore ⊠the shame, the guilt.â
The trial is set to continue on May 15th.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
