WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Cassie Ventura, Sean “Diddy” Combs’s ex-girlfriend, will testify against him in his upcoming May trial and will use her name. People had assumed the singer would testify anonymously, as she was named “Victim-1” in the prosecutor’s indictment against the disgraced mogul. “She is prepared to testify under her own name,” a motion filed by the prosecution reads. The other three alleged victims will be testifying anonymously. “This case has already received an exceptional amount of media coverage, which will presumably only increase as trial proceeds,” prosecutors continued in the filing. “Permitting these measures will prevent unnecessary public disclosure of the victims’ identities, and the harassment from the media and others, undue embarrassment, and other adverse consequences that would almost certainly follow if these women were forced to reveal their true names publicly at trial.” Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy shook the industry, accusing him of years of abuse, coercion, and control during their relationship. The lawsuit was filed in November 2023 and settled within 24 hours. The following year, a video was leaked to CNN, showing the mogul brutally beating her in a hotel hallway. Diddy issued a public apology via video, in which he took accountability for his actions before deleting .... The Bad Boy boss was initially slapped with three serious federal charges, sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution, back in September 2024. On April 4, just last week, he was hit with a new indictment, adding two more charges to the list…another count of sex trafficking and one more for transportation with intent to engage in prostitution. Jury selection for Diddy’s trial is scheduled to begin May 5.
