Cassie Settled Her 2023 Diddy Rape Civil Suit for $20 Million / Says “Flashbacks” of the Abuse Made Her Suicidal

Casandra “Cassie” Ventura continued to drop bombshell revelations in her ongoing courtroom testimony against former boyfriend and business mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs as he faces charges related to multiple sex crimes.

Taking the stand in Manhattan federal court again on Wednesday (May 14), Cassie revealed her jaw-dropping 2023 lawsuit against Combs was settled for a whopping $20 million.

The amount was previously undisclosed.

A key witness for the prosecution, Ventura rocked headlines when she filed her lawsuit in November of that year accusing Combs of rape, physical abuse, and coercing her into drug-fueled sex acts with escorts which he allegedly recorded to use as blackmail.

The civil case was settled within 24 hours of going public, but it led to other alleged survivors coming forward to share their testimonies.

Collectively, the lawsuits helped power a federal investigation that ultimately led to Sean’s arrest in September 2024.

Now pregnant with her third child, Cassie also testified the years after ending her 10-year relationship with Combs led her to severe PTSD.

So severe, in fact, she considered ending her life in early 2023.

“I was spinning out. I didn’t want to be alive anymore at that point,” she shared with the jury before relaying she almost committed suicide while her children were in the next room. “I couldn’t take the pain I was in anymore and just tried to walk out the front door into traffic.”

She credits her husband, Alex Fine, for stopping her.

The singer-model-actress is expected back in court on Thursday (May 15) to continue her testimony.

So far, she has recounted harrowing stories of surviving sexual abuse, coercion of performing lewd sexual acts, and physical abuse allegedly at the hands of Combs.
