Diddy Trial Day 3 Explained: What Did Cassie Ventura Say?
Trigger warning: This article contains mentions of rape and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.
On day 3 of rapper Diddy's federal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial, his ex-partner Casandra Cassie Ventura testified before the court and presented distressing details of their relationship.
Ventura also opened up about the video footage from the Los Angeles Hotel that went viral on social media. In the video, Diddy threw a vase at Ventura and grabbed her neck. The singer who was signed under Diddy's label revealed that she was raped by the music mogul in 2018.
Diddy's ongoing trial revealed more harrowing details on day three, including Cassie Ventura's testimony regarding her allegedly abusive relationship with Diddy. The 38-year-old artist claimed that Diddy raped the singer in her own home in 2018, two years after the Los Angeles hotel incident (via The Guardian).
The singer revealed that the two had broken up by then. She had a conversation with Diddy regarding their split earlier that day at lunch. But after returning to her home, the record producer allegedly raped her in the living room.
The 'Must Be Love' crooner also recalled the alleged physical abuse that she faced at the InterContinental hotel in Los Angeles in 2016. The surveillance video of the incident surfaced a few years ago, and netizens discovered how Diddy attacked the former with a vase and slammed her on the floor.
Ventura recounted what happened that day, saying, 'I didn't get hit. I remember it hitting the wall. He was yelling at me and threw it at me.' She further added that the rapper allegedly told her that she couldn't 'leave.'
Ventura also claimed that Diddy's allegedly abusive nature extended towards his employees and her friends. On one occasion, Ventura said that Diddy dangled one of her friends over a balcony. Ventura further said Combs repeatedly threatened to release videos of her in 'freak-offs' to control her.
After she refused to join one on her birthday, he allegedly reminded her of the footage. 'I feared for my career, my family… It could ruin everything I worked for,' she said, explaining she 'felt trapped' and complied to avoid his anger and threats.

Kanye West Pulls Up To Diddy's Sex Trafficking Trial To Show His Support
Source: ROBYN BECK / Getty Kanye West is throwing his support behind fellow hip-hop mogul Diddy. Only this time, he canned an erratic rant on X and actually showed up at Diddy's sex trafficking trial in New York City on Friday morning. He pulled up to the Lower Manhattan Court building rocking an all white Junya Watanabe x Levi's outfit with black shades on before greeting Diddy's son, Christian 'King' Combs, and entering the law building. While walking past the media, he was asked if he was there to show support for Diddy, to which he nodded and said, 'Yes.' ABC News reports that he and Combs then headed into the overflow room to watch some of the trial, but left after about 10 minutes, as more members of the media realized he was there. When he left, he was asked if he planned to testify on Diddy's behalf, which he ignored. West's appearance comes just a day after CNN reported that a source told them he was in touch with King Combs and wanted to show his support by sitting in. However, his visit came a little earlier than initially expected. 'The individual close to Combs noted West may attend when the defense begins their presentation,' CNN writes. 'Prosecutors in the case have said that their presentation is expected to wrap up next week, indicating that the defense could begin calling their own witnesses soon.' West championing Diddy as he faces life behind bars for sex trafficking and RICO charges has escalated over the past few months. That included tweeting, ' CARTI BEAT CART BEAT WOMEN I BEAT WOMEN BUT EVERYBODY HATE DIDDY' in reference to the 2016 video of Diddy beating Cassie in the hallways of a Los Angeles hotel. He even created a collaborative capsule collection between Yeezy and Sean John, and posted a jail phone conversation between the two, in which they showered each other with praise. 'I just want to thank you so much for taking care of my kids, man. 'Cause ain't nobody reach out to them. Ain't nobody call them. And that meant so much that you reached out and took them under your wing,' Diddy told Ye. See social media's response to Kanye's latest controversial move below.
