Saturday, May 17, 2025 - Cassie Ventura testified in court Friday, May 16, that she once had a romantic encounter with an NFL player during her relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, a revelation that came amid cross-examination in the ongoing trial involving the music mogul.
The 38-year-old singer made the admission while responding
to a question from Diddy’s attorney, Anna Estevao, who referenced a 2016
incident in which Combs allegedly took Cassie’s phone after suspecting
infidelity.
Cassie confirmed the episode but declined to name the
football player, stating only, “I don’t know if he’s playing anymore.” The
exchange was part of a broader effort by the defense to examine the volatile
dynamics of the former couple’s relationship.
Estevao also brought up an incident involving R&B singer
Chris Brown, suggesting that Diddy once reacted similarly over suspicions
Cassie had danced with Brown. Cassie acknowledged the confrontation, but
clarified, “I was not dancing with him.”
The line of questioning appeared aimed at demonstrating that
while Diddy’s behavior toward Cassie may have been violent or controlling, it
was not necessarily tied to the more serious federal charges he now faces,
including sex trafficking and racketeering.
The identity of the NFL player remains undisclosed, and as
Cassie continues her testimony, it remains unclear whether the topic will
resurface in court proceedings. Her statements are part of a broader narrative
being pieced together by prosecutors and defense attorneys alike, as the trial
continues to shed light on her past relationship with Combs and the allegations
at the center of the case.
