Diddy Trial: Friend Testifies to Balcony Assault

At Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, Bryana 'Bana' Bongolan, a friend of Cassie Ventura, testified that Combs dangled her over a 17th-floor balcony in Los Angeles in September 2016 and threatened her life. Bongolan described sustaining bruises and lasting trauma from the incident, and photographs of her injuries were presented in court. She has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Combs, seeking justice for the alleged assault. During cross-examination, Combs' legal team challenged the consistency and accuracy of Bongolan's account. The trial also featured a forensic video expert's testimony authenticating evidence of Combs' abuse of Ventura. Combs has pleaded not guilty and faces life in prison if convicted.
