Cassie Ventura told a New York court she would return the $20M settlement she received from Sean “Diddy” Combs if it meant she could undo the trauma of years of coercion, abuse, and drug-fueled sex acts under his control.
- Cassie detailed years of alleged abuse, claiming Diddy forced her into “freak-offs” involving drugs and male escorts.
- She denied filing the lawsuit for money, saying she “would have agency and autonomy” without the trauma.
- A 2016 hotel assault caught on tape, and other witnesses, including singer Dawn Richard, supported her claims.
With visible emotion, Cassie told the jury that no money could compensate for the abuse she suffered over a decade. Her statement, “I’m not a rag doll. I’m somebody’s child,” became a powerful moment in the courtroom and on social media.
As more witnesses prepare to testify, will this trial reshape how abuse within celebrity circles is handled—or hidden—in public view?
