I want to kill you, cut you up and put you in the f—ing dirt.” Ventura, who dated Combs on and off for 11 years, testified that she believed a sex worker had filmed the encounter and that she immediately told Combs, who allegedly responded by saying he’d “take …

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Side Claims Mutual Abuse in Cassie Ventura Relationship Ahead of Trial; Know More

In a striking development on Day 4 of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal trial, his defense team openly acknowledged incidents of domestic violence between the music mogul and his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura — but argued that the abuse was mutual.

As the court navigates the boundaries of admissible testimony, the defense revealed its strategy — one that does not deny abuse but reframes it as reciprocal. The conversation began when Johnson informed the judge that the prosecution’s primary witness, referred to as Victim 1 and widely believed to be Cassie, would not be questioned on certain medical issues. Judge Subramanian noted that if the prosecution brings up related topics, the defense would be allowed to respond in kind. Agnifilo then told the court, “The defense is going to take the position there was mutual violence in their relationship,” asserting that both parties engaged in physical altercations. “We are …
