Cassie, 38, has been a key witness in the trial, where Combs faces charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. She told the court that she and Combs had a complicated relationship marked by love, abuse, and control. She testified that in August 2018, after trying to end their relationship, Combs forced his way into her Los Angeles home and raped her.

The revelation stunned the courtroom and sparked widespread discussion online. Prosecutors argue that Combs used his power in the music industry to manipulate and exploit Cassie, forcing her into drug-fueled sex parties called “freak-offs” and threatening to release compromising videos to control her. Cassie said these experiences left her feeling ashamed and traumatized, leading to therapy and rehab in 2023.

Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His lawyers admit he could be violent but insist that all sexual encounters were consensual and do not amount to criminal activity. They are expected to cross-examine Cassie to challenge her account of events.
Cassie’s 2023 lawsuit against Combs, which accused him of years of physical and sexual abuse, was settled quickly for $20 million. That lawsuit triggered a wave of similar claims against Combs and led to his arrest in September 2024. If convicted, he could face at least 15 years in prison.
The trial continues to unfold, with more witnesses expected to testify in the coming days.
