Casandra Ventura, the R&B singer and model who dated Diddy off-and-on for 10 years, returned to the witness stand today, testifying in excruciating detail about her relationship with the hip-hop mogul and his alleged pattern of violence and sexual abuse, including beatings that she said left her bruised and shaken.
Ventura, who is visibly pregnant, alleged Diddy raped her on her living room floor in 2018, echoing allegations she made in a November 2023 civil lawsuit that she confirmed was settled for $20 million. “I remember crying and saying no,” Ventura told the court. “His eyes were black. He wasn’t himself.” Diddy has denied raping her.
She recounted the aftermath of Diddy’s attack on her at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 — an assault that was recorded by a security camera. She said he pounded on her apartment door after the incident, “kicking and yelling.” She recalled covering up her black eye and swollen lip before attending a movie premiere.

She testified Diddy blackmailed her, threatening to release videos of their drug-fueled “freak offs” if she didn’t do as he said. “It is horrible and disgusting. No one should do that to anyone,” she told jurors. “I wasn’t supposed to be on those videos. I didn’t want to be in them.” She said she participated in “hundreds” of “freak offs.”
