Wednesday was Cassie Ventura’s second day of testimony in the case against disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and it was, by all accounts, a grueling, emotional day on the stand. Among the biggest revelations was Ventura confirming that she had accepted a $20 million settlement from Combs in 2023 after she accused him of rape.

Cassie Ventura, Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend, was back on the stand Wednesday​ and told the jury that, after a break-up, she was raped by Combs.

As Cassie Ventura neared her 12th hour on the witness stand, she told jurors that the threats and incessant sexual demands from her ex-boyfriend, Sean "Diddy" Combs -- as well as a pattern of coerced sex with strangers -- drove her into addiction, exposed her to regular spates of violence and led her to contemplate suicide.
