Bryana Bongolan, Cassie's Friend, Testifies Diddy Threatened Her Life And Said 'I Can Kill You'
A former graphic designer for Sean 'Diddy' Combs testified in federal court on Wednesday (June 4) that Diddy once dangled her over the edge of a 17th-floor balcony during a violent outburst. Per NBC News, Bryana 'Bana' Bongolan told jurors that the 2016 incident occurred at the Los Angeles apartment of Diddy's' former girlfriend, and her longtime friend, Cassandra 'Cassie' Ventura. According to Bongolan, Diddy verbally abused her while holding her over the railing for '10 to 15 seconds,' before throwing her onto patio furniture. 'I was scared to fall,' she recalled on the stand, adding that she had no idea what prompted the outburst. 'You know what the f**k you did,' Diddy allegedly shouted, according to her testimony. She also recalled Diddy allegedly said 'something along the lines of, 'I am the devil and I can kill you,'' and he had taken cocaine at the time of the incident. Bongolan explained that she she was 5'1″ and weighed approximately 100 to 115 pounds at the time. She claimed she attempted to brace herself and push back off him, but ended up with a bruise the size of a softball on her leg and pain in her neck and back. Jurors were reportedly shown photos of her in a neck brace. 'I have nightmares and I have a lot of paranoia,' she testified. 'I used to scream a lot in my sleep, but it's dissipated a little bit.' Even years later, Bongolan said she still experiences symptoms of trauma, including paranoia when opening doors or walking into rooms. She added that while Cassie did not witness the incident directly, she was present in the apartment and emerged from her bedroom in disbelief after hearing the commotion. 'Cassie was in her bedroom but she came out. I heard her voice — her tone was in disbelief,' Bongolan claimed. Following the bizarre alleged incident, the witness said she received a FaceTime call from either Diddy or someone on his team and expressed that she 'did not want any trouble.' She testified that the music mogul remained mostly silent while looking at the camera with his hand on his head. Diddy's defense attempted to discredit Bongolan, alleging she was a heavy drug user and may have been under the influence at the time of the incident — an accusation she denies. However, she did state earlier in her testimony that she and Cassie were both 'regular' drug users while in Diddy's 'social world.' 'We had a problem,' she said. Bongolan's testimony comes after notable figures' including Kid Cudi, Cassie, Capricorn Clark and others. Diddy is facing serious federal charges including: Racketeering Conspiracy; Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud, or Coercion, and Transportation to Engage in Prostitution. The 55-year-old has denied all criminal allegations. However, FOX News Digital reports that Diddy's legal team acknowledged he committed domestic violence — in an attempt to negotiate lesser state charges and avoid federal prison time. The father-of-seven was arrested in October 2024 at the Park Hyatt in Manhattan and remains in custody. If convicted, he faces a potential sentence of 15 years to life in prison.

U.S. Senator Issues Chilling 'Warning' About Air Travel
Delays, tragic accidents and other issues have plagued the American air travel industry in 2025, and one U.S. senator is urging Congress to take immediate action. On Wednesday, Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) spoke to FOX News Digital regarding the issues and problems related to air travel. "What we need to do is we need to preemptively address challenges before they become tragedies," Sullivan said, acknowledging an accident in his own state that killed 10 people earlier this year. A plane crashed into the Norton Sound back in February while attempt to travel from Unalakleet to Nome. Sullivan said that he visited the FAA's air traffic control hub in Anchorage, and found that outdated technology like floppy disks were still in use to assist with tracking flights. "What we don't want, unfortunately – it's happened – is have a big crash and tragedy as the thing that inspires change," Sullivan added. "I watched this: Hiring people for the FAA in terms of air traffic controllers is competitive. It requires real schooling. It requires high performance. And the Biden team came in, and I guess in the name of diversity… they started taking people off the street literally with no background in any of this. We've got to get back to the rigorous FAA standards." Sullivan added that he and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will be working on sweeping reform for the air travel industry, and that the first steps of that reform would go into effect over the next few weeks and months. Liberty National Airport in Newark, NJ has been an example of how bad things can get at one location. The airport has experienced widespread delays after a malfunction with the Philadelphia-based air traffic control center. Controllers were unable to see, hear or communicate with planes for several minutes, forcing pilots to fly blind into an understaffed airport with one free runway. Many controllers took union-approved leave after the software and visibility issue, leading to a shortage of trained air traffic controllers. Earlier this week, Duffy noted that there is a pipeline of potential controllers in the Philadelphia area that are signed up for the required classes through next year. We'll see if Newark and some of the other major airports around the country heed Sullilvan's warning after a series of tragic and fatal accidents.
