Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing explosive new testimony in his ongoing federal trial, with graphic designer Bryana Bongolan accusing the music mogul of once dangling her off a 17th-floor balcony and throwing a knife at singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.
Testifying on Wednesday, Bongolan told the court the alleged balcony incident happened in September 2016, while she and her girlfriend were staying at Ventura’s apartment.
She claimed Combs burst in, lifted her onto the balcony ledge, shouted, “You know what the f*ck you did,” and then threw her into patio furniture.
Photos of her bruises, taken that night, were shown to the jury.
In another disturbing claim, Bongolan described an earlier incident when Combs allegedly threw a knife at Ventura, which she said Ventura picked up and threw back. No one was injured.
Bongolan, who worked closely with Ventura through a fashion collaboration, also testified to witnessing signs of Combs’ alleged abuse — including Ventura appearing on a video call with a black eye and Combs pounding on her door late at night.
She also claimed Combs once threatened her at a Malibu photoshoot, saying, “I’m the devil and I could kill you.”
The trial, now in its fourth week, comes after multiple civil lawsuits accusing Combs of abuse.
The Bad Boy boss faces racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking charges and has pleaded not guilty.
Defense attorney Nicole Westmoreland spent hours cross-examining Bongolan, pressing her on inconsistencies and her inability to recall details from earlier meetings with prosecutors.
The defense pointed out gaps between her courtroom testimony and prior statements, which Bongolan struggled to clarify.
The jury also viewed surveillance video on Wednesday, shown by forensic video expert Frank Piazza, of Combs physically assaulting Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016 — a clip confirmed as authentic.
Bongolan is expected to resume her testimony Thursday, followed by another witness known only as “Jane”, whose account is anticipated to last several days.
Combs’ legal team continues to deny all allegations.
