Cassie Ventura Speaks Out After Diddy Verdict

Cassie Ventura, former girlfriend of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs broke her silence after he was found not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Ventura’s attorney, Douglas H. Wigdor of Wigdor LLP issued a statement to the Daily Caller, praising Ventura for coming forward with the allegations against Diddy. “This entire criminal process started when our client Cassie Ventura had the courage to file her civil complaint in November 2023,” Wigdor said. “Although the jury did not find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt, she paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution.”

Wigdor continued, “By coming forward with her experience, Cassie has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice.”

The infamous video of Diddy assaulting Ventura in a hotel lobby was shown to the 12-person jury comprised of eight men and four women, during the trial.

“We must repeat – with no reservation – that we believe and support our client who showed exemplary courage throughout this trial,” Wigdor told the Daily Caller.

“She displayed unquestionable strength and brought attention to the realities of powerful men in our orbit and the misconduct that has persisted for decades without repercussion. This case proved that change is long overdue, and we will continue to fight on behalf of survivors.”
