Months after the viral trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs began, the alleged victims who testified against Combs are still enduring the media circus—and bracing for the aftermath of his upcoming sentencing. Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, who was entangled with Combs for 11 years, first sued the music and fashion mogul in October 2023 for physical and sexual abuse. Though her civil complaint was quickly settled, it also inspired a slew of other women to allege that they too endured abuse by Combs. “These events were degrading and disgusting,” Ventura reiterated, claiming that she was often left with infections and illnesses from the encounters. “Sex acts became my full-time job, used as the only way to stay in [Combs’s] good graces,” Ventura wrote.
