A woman testified on Wednesday in Sean Combs’s federal trial that he had held her over the balcony of a 17th-floor apartment and that she had once seen the music mogul burst into the home of Casandra Ventura, his former girlfriend, and throw a knife at her.
The woman, Bryana Bongolan, was a friend of Ms. Ventura — better known as the singer Cassie — and described a series of violent and threatening interactions with him.
Though Ms. Bongolan, a designer, had met and befriended Ms. Ventura around 2013 or 2014, when Ms. Ventura became associated with her fashion company, she said she hesitated to meet Mr. Combs. She had seen Ms. Ventura unsettled while on the phone with him, she said, and had seen Ms. Ventura with a black eye.
Once, near a photo shoot outside his home in the Los Angeles area, Ms. Bongolan said Mr. Combs accosted her. “He came up really close to my face,” she testified, “and said something along the lines of, like, ‘I’m the devil and I could kill you.’”
...The 16th day of Mr. Combs’s trial, at U.S. District Court in Lower Manhattan, started with testimony from Frank Piazza, a forensic video analyst. He walked jurors through a series of videos drawn from hotel surveillance footage that captured Mr. Combs attacking Ms. Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel.
Selections from the videos — which show Mr. Combs throwing Ms. Ventura down, kicking her and dragging her down a hallway — were broadcast by CNN last year, months before Mr. Combs’s arrest in September, and they drew wide condemnation

If Hillary had won he, and Harvey, would have got away with it. No me too movement aimed at Trump and access to the Clinton machine would have kept all this perversion under the rug.
It is incredible what women will keep hanging around with for money and fame.
1) Epstein “killed himself” and then all of the global sex trafficking that seemed tied to Epstein just kind of “went away”.
2) The Diddy trial seems like it may be reduced to “he was a bad dude and horrible to his women friends” while the suspected global sex trafficking that seems tied to Diddy just kind of “goes away”.
In his defense he thought she was Michael Jackson’s baby.
So far the prosecution hasn’t proven that a major crime took place. The only law broken is the hiring of an escort. Client 9 walked on that.

right.
nothing burger trial seems to only prove people that hung out around diddy liked rough kinky sex.
2 young women died of pneumonia and drugs that were connected to Diddy.
So far its been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Diddy is a vile, despicable human being. But I’m not seeing racketeering and sex trafficking. I’m seeing domestic abuse and gangsta thug stuff that nobody ever had the courage to call the cops on him for. Its probably too late now to charge him with attempted murder for hanging someone over a 17th floor balcony.
