Casandra “Cassie” Ventura appeared in court for a second day to testify in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial<\/p>\n
Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/a>\u00a0pleaded with Casandra “Cassie” Ventura to call him after viciously beating her at a hotel in 2016, seemingly trying to gain her sympathy using\u00a0his children<\/a>\u00a0as leverage, Ventura said on the witness stand Wednesday.<\/p>\n Ventura detailed to a Manhattan jury on Wednesday, May 14, the aftermath of the assault which was captured on hotel security camera, and\u00a0published by CNN<\/a>\u00a0in 2024.<\/p>\n The video shows Combs running after Ventura in the hotel hallway, wearing a towel around his waist, and appearing to beat her to the ground and kick her as she lay motionless. Combs has since acknowledged the video and apologized.<\/p>\n Now Ventura is sharing how Combs begged her to answer his calls after she managed to escape the situation.<\/p>\n “I got 6 kids. Please call me,” he said in part of a text exchange following the incident, when he seemed to believe the cops would show up.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m surrounded. Call me for my kids. Help,” he pleaded.<\/p>\n “You are sick for doing what you have done,” Ventura says later in the message as Combs continues pleading with her. “Stay away from me.”<\/p>\n
