Diddy's Lawyers Question Cassie About 2016 Hotel Assault

The second day of Cassie Ventura's cross-examination in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking trial saw the defense team revisiting a key event: the 2016 incident at the InterContinental Hotel. Security video from that night shows Combs physically assaulting Ventura.

Combs' lawyers questioned Ventura about the circumstances leading up to the altercation, her recollection of the events, and any potential inconsistencies in her previous statements. The defense's strategy appears to be to discredit Ventura's testimony and cast doubt on her allegations of abuse.

The questioning about the hotel incident is a crucial part of the trial, as it provides visual evidence of the alleged abuse. However, the defense is likely attempting to argue that the video does not tell the whole story or that Ventura's interpretation of the events is inaccurate. Legal experts suggest the outcome of this cross-examination could significantly influence the jury's perception of Ventura's credibility and the overall strength of her case.
