Diddy Rape Trial: Defense Challenges Cassie Ventura's Credibility

Cassie Ventura, the ex-girlfriend of Sean "Diddy" Combs, is currently testifying in a high-profile trial. Her fourth day on the stand saw the defense aggressively challenge her account of events. A key piece of evidence was an audio recording of a heated phone call where Ventura is heard making threats against a man who allegedly possessed an explicit video of her. The defense also presented text messages exchanged between Ventura and Combs, some displaying affection, dating from the period around the alleged rape in 2018. These messages, along with inconsistencies in Ventura's timeline, form the basis of the defense's challenge to her credibility. The defense's strategy appears to be to cast doubt on Ventura's claims by highlighting her continued contact with Combs after the alleged assault. Ventura's testimony continues, and the trial is expected to continue for several more days.
