Welcome to The Trial of Diddy.
What is Cassie Ventura's testimony about her relationship with Diddy?
Welcome to the podcast. Right now, it's Thursday, May 15th. When we're recording this, it's 1.07 p.m. in New York. Today, Cassie is back on the stand for the third day in a row, and she's approaching nearly 20 hours of testimony. And so far, we've heard what can only be described as gut-wrenching testimony. But today, she's under cross-examination, and it has finally begun. We'll be bringing you her words shortly, exactly as we heard them in court.
That's right, Kayla. Today we're going to discuss how Diddy allegedly raped Cassie after they split in 2018.
Yeah, you'll hear how she broke down and revealed that she considered, quote, walking into traffic because of recurring flashbacks from the hundreds of sex parties she says she was forced to partake in.
She said she was desperate for Diddy to read her book so he could understand the impact of what he had done to her.
And we'll hear how she settled her lawsuit for $20 million just 24 hours after she filed it back in 2023.
Welcome to the trial of Diddy. I can't carry the shame.

So Kayla, it's been a few really busy days here in New York. And today, as we promised at the top of the podcast, we're going to bring you everything we have heard over the last few days.
Yeah, but first, just in the last few hours, a cross-examination began on Cassie by Diddy's defense lawyer, Anna Estevo. Cassie is eight and a half months pregnant. She could give birth any day now, and she's been giving evidence in this case approaching 20 hours. And she showed up to court today wearing an oversized tuxedo jacket and black pants wearing with her hair slicked back in a ponytail. Now, Diddy, he was wearing a yellow sweater and he was heard over the microphone telling his defense lawyer, Estevo, that he was, quote, proud of her just before she began her cross-examination.
Yeah, she started by asking Cassie about the real Sean.
You and Sean Combs were in love for 11 years, right? Yeah. You loved him? I did. You believed he loved you?
Yes. Estevo continued a line of questioning that emphasized that Cassie knew the real Sean, a version she claimed he won't let the rest of the world see. Ms. Estevo asked Cassie if she took care of him and if she believed that he needed someone to take care of him.
