Cassie Ventura Testifies Against Diddy: “He Controlled Every Aspect of My Life”
In an emotionally charged testimony, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, the former girlfriend of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, told a New York federal court that she endured years of physical and emotional abuse during their relationship. Taking the stand as the prosecution’s key witness in Diddy’s ongoing sex trafficking trial, Ventura detailed harrowing experiences that painted a disturbing picture of power, control, and exploitation.
“I Didn’t Belong to Myself Anymore” – Cassie’s Emotional Testimony Against Diddy
Cassie Ventura, visibly tearful, described how Combs allegedly manipulated and dominated her life, coercing her into what were referred to as “freak-offs”—drug-fueled sexual encounters involving male escorts. According to her testimony, these encounters were not consensual in the emotional or psychological sense, but rather forced through intimidation and psychological manipulation.
“He controlled every aspect of my life,” Cassie Ventura said in court. “I was afraid to say no. I felt like I didn’t belong to myself anymore.”
The testimony is a crucial element in the federal case against Combs, who has been charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
A Pattern of Abuse and Isolation
Cassie Ventura’s account spanned a decade-long relationship with Combs, during which she claims she was frequently subjected to violence, gaslighting, and sexual humiliation. The prosecution alleges that Combs orchestrated a system of abuse not only against Cassie Ventura but potentially against others as well—creating a pattern of behavior designed to dominate and exploit.
Courtroom attendees described a somber atmosphere as Cassie Ventura gave her testimony. She appeared emotional but composed, reportedly holding back tears as she recounted specific instances of alleged abuse.
So far, Combs’ legal team has not cross-examined Cassie Ventura, but sources suggest the defense is preparing to challenge the credibility and context of her claims in the coming days.
Diddy’s Defense and Ongoing Proceedings
Sean Combs has denied all allegations. His legal team insists the charges are “baseless” and claim that the prosecution’s narrative distorts personal grievances into criminal accusations.
Combs remains free on bail, but the ongoing trial has put his career and public image under intense scrutiny. Friends, family, and fans have packed the courtroom to support him, while media outlets worldwide continue to track the high-profile proceedings.
The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks, with additional witnesses scheduled to testify. The outcome could have wide-reaching implications not just for Combs, but for the broader conversation around abuse, power, and accountability in the entertainment industry.
