Casandra "Cassie" Ventura is taking the stand in Sean "Diddy" Combs' criminal trial, almost two years after she sued her ex-boyfriend.

The R&B singer, who dated Combs on and off for 10 years, accused Combs of raping and abusing her in a civil lawsuit she filed in November 2023.

Cassie Ventura is a singer and model who signed with Combs' Bad Boy Records in 2006. Their relationship lasted over a decade. In 2023, she filed a lawsuit alleging rape, physical abuse, and coercion into sex acts with other men. The case was settled a day later but prompted additional lawsuits and further criminal investigation.
