Ex-lover of rapper Diddy discusses contemplated suicide stemming from exposure to violence - Ex-lover of hip-hop artist Combs discloses struggles with suicidal ideations triggered by violent incidents
💔
In a raw, emotion-laden testimony, 38-year-old Cassie Ventura, famed singer and dancer, unveiled a sordid tale of her on-off relationship with none other than the legendary Sean "Diddy" Combs. The tormenting past that dragged her down since their 2018 split is yet far from over.
"The pain," Ventura choked, "I couldn't bear it anymore." In 2023, her partner, Alex Fine, intervened when she attempted suicide. Shocked into seeking professional help, she couldn't escape the horrors inflicted by Combs.
Tuesday saw Ventura stepping into the public eye for the first time ever, speaking of the monstrous acts she allegedly endured during their tumultuous decade-long journey that began in 2005.

Combs' indifference unfolded as a series of chilling anecdotes. Violent outbursts and "disgusting" drug and sex parties that he christened "freak-offs" shook Ventura to her core. To fulfill his macabre desires, Combs allegedly urinated on her or paid prostitutes to do the same.
In a desperate surrender, Ventura resorted to taking ecstasy and cocaine just to stay awake during marathon sex sessions that lasted for days on end.
The woman whose career took flight under his wing, soon became an unwilling pawn in his twisted game. Ventura filed a lawsuit against the music mogul in 2023, accusing him of years of abuse and rape.
The prosecution implicated Combs in a web of sexually abusing women and men and terrorizing them with threats and violence to ensnare them in his debauched world.

Defense attorney Teny Geragos vehemently opposed the allegations in her opening statement on Monday. Combs' violent behavior certainly existed in their relationship, Geragos admitted, but refused to acknowledge the forced aspect of carnal encounters.
She argued that Cassie voluntarily took drugs, which failed to absolve Combs of the cruel manipulations and coercive tactics used to bind her to his perverted game.
The extensive trial in New York, set to span eight to ten weeks, hangs heavy on the possibility of life imprisonment for Combs.
In the shadows, Cassie Ventura stands tall, her voice a clarion call for justice, challenging the might of a giant.
