Sean “Diddy” Combs Trial: Cassie Ventura Attack Video to Be Admitted in Court
Cassie is hitting the streets of New York amid her pregnancy.
After all, the "Me & U" singer, who is expecting her third baby with husband Alex Fine, showed off her big baby bump as she visited a friend on May 7.
Clad in a translucent gray top, dark bralette and white linen pants, Cassie, 38, was seen on her phone as she stood on the front porch.
The sighting comes amid jury selection in her ex Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, in which the rapper is accused of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution through allegedly coercing female victims into participating in sexual performances.
Combs, who dated Cassie on-an-off for over a decade before their 2018 breakup, has pleaded not guilty to all of his charges.
Recently, a judge overseeing the case ruled that a 2016 video of Combs attacking and dragging Cassie down a hallway of a Los Angeles hotel can be used in court. The prosecution argued that the video, which was first made public last year, showed Combs' “use of force" on women, per NBC News.
While Combs has denied all allegations brought forth by federal prosecutors, he did apologize for his behavior in the 2016 video.
"It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that," the Bad Boy Records mogul shared on Instagram May 2024. "I was f--ked up. I hit rock bottom. But I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video."

The 55-year-old added at the time, "I'm so sorry. But I'm committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry."
As for Cassie—who is mom to Frankie, 5 and Sunny, 4—she was moved by all those who rallied around her when the assault video was published online.

"The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning," she wrote on Instagram in May 2024. "Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past."
