Cassie Ventura Reveals Severe Injuries in Diddy Abuse Trial

Newly released photos and video evidence reveal the severe injuries Cassie Ventura sustained after being violently beaten by her ex, Sean "Diddy" Combs, at a hotel in 2016. Ventura testified about the abuse during Combs' ongoing federal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial, describing multiple assaults including a particularly violent episode when she tried to flee one of Combs' "Freak-Off" parties. Photographs show Ventura with a swollen lip and black eye, often concealed with sunglasses and makeup, taken shortly after the attack. Her then-best friend Kerry Morgan witnessed Combs violently trying to enter Ventura's apartment and later testified about her own experiences of abuse by Combs. Ventura recounted numerous instances of abuse over their decade-long on-and-off relationship, culminating in a 2023 lawsuit alleging abuse and rape, which was settled for $20 million. The graphic 15-minute video of the assault has been shown in court, further substantiating Ventura's claims.
