Casandra Ventura, the R&B singer and actor known simply as Cassie, began testifying Tuesday in Sean “Diddy” Combs ' sex trafficking trial.
The music mogul is charged with using his status as a powerful executive to coerce women — including Cassie — into abusive sexual encounters and becoming violent if they refused. He has pleaded not guilty. Cassie sued Combs in 2023 alleging years of rape and abuse. The suit was settled within hours, but was followed by dozens of similar legal claims and touched off a criminal investigation.
