Diddy Trial: Ex-Girlfriend Testifies, Alleges Abuse and Coercion

Sean Combs Sex Trafficking Trial: Cassie Ventura Testifies, Alleges Abuse The high-profile trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs took a dramatic turn Tuesday as Cassie Ventura, his ex-girlfriend, took the stand to testify against him. Ventura's testimony, her first public account of her relationship with Combs, detailed allegations of physical abuse and forced participation in sexual acts. The accusations include claims of busted lips, black eyes, and other injuries sustained during episodes of alleged violence. "He controlled nearly every aspect of my life," Ventura reportedly stated during her testimony. She described feeling pressured to participate in what she termed "marathon sex performances." Initially, Ventura reportedly said she participated to make Combs happy, but later recounted her growing fear and lack of choice. Combs, who pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy, maintains that all encounters were consensual. His legal team is expected to challenge Ventura's testimony. The trial continues.
