Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

Cassie Ventura’s Devastating Testimony Assault Video, 'Freak-Offs,' Exploding Cars, and a Courtroom in Shock
In the second half of her explosive testimony, Cassie Ventura faced what many saw as a calculated, high-pressure attempt to dismantle her credibility. Defense attorneys for Sean "Diddy" Combs pulled no punches, forcing Cassie to read out her own sexually explicit messages in open court—messages they claimed proved she willingly participated in the very abuse she had described just days earlier.
What unfolded instead was a masterclass in composure, clarity, and trauma-informed testimony. Cassie didn’t deny the texts. She explained them. Line by line. Word by word. She told the court those messages were written not from desire, but from fear. “They were just words,” she said. “It was easier to pretend than to be punished.”
In this gripping episode, we walk you through the defense’s cross-examination strategy: how they painted Cassie as a willing participant, a jealous ex, even a bitter romantic left behind. They introduced old conversations, exposed post-assault reconciliations, and suggested that her decision to testify now was born out of resentment—not trauma.
But Cassie’s answers only added more depth to her claims. She described being caught in a cycle of abuse and reconciliation—a textbook trauma bond. She spoke about feeling watched, controlled, even retaliated against. Her brief relationship with rapper Kid Cudi was cut short, she said, after threats from Combs—threats she took seriously, especially after Cudi’s car mysteriously exploded in his driveway. The court didn’t need to prove who planted the bomb. The implication landed anyway.
From rumors about Chris Brown to the defense’s last-minute exhibit dump, we bring you the full breakdown of how Cassie handled the crossfire—and why it might have only made her case stronger.
Don’t miss this deep dive into one of the most pivotal and emotionally charged days of testimony in the Diddy federal trial.
