On a rainy Tuesday in New York City, Cassie Ventura — pregnant and poised — was seen leaving her home on her way to court.
But this wasn’t just another hearing.
The singer was preparing to testify against her ex-boyfriend, Sean “Diddy” Combs, in a federal trial that’s grabbing national headlines.

“He introduced me to sexual things I wasn’t ready for. I was still in a relationship with someone else.
I was young, naive, and had no vocabulary for what was happeni
