Diddy’s legal storm just hit a whole new level of intensity—his ex, singer and model Cassie Ventura, is officially stepping into the spotlight to testify under her real name in his upcoming explosive federal trial. According to new court filings dated April 4, Cassie, identified as “Victim-1,” is prepared to face the court without anonymity, a move that’s sending shockwaves across social media.
The hip-hop mogul, 55, is facing serious charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution. While Cassie is ready to speak out publicly, three other women—Victims 2, 3, and 4—have asked the court to protect their identities from media exposure due to fear of harassment, emotional trauma, and public backlash. Prosecutors argue that revealing their names could result in “undue embarrassment and adverse consequences.”
This case has already garnered massive media attention and is expected to dominate headlines as the trial unfolds. Cassie’s involvement comes months after a leaked hotel surveillance video surfaced, allegedly showing Diddy violently attacking her in 2016—footage that backed up disturbing claims from her previously settled 2023 lawsuit.
With new charges and more alleged victims stepping forward, the trial is shaping up to be one of the most high-profile celebrity courtroom dramas in recent history.
