Sean "Diddy" Combs' former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, wrapped up four days of testimony Friday in Combs' trial for sex trafficking and racketeering. 

Defense attorneys challenged Ventura on the timeline of the alleged rape she previously testified happened after dinner with Combs in August 2018. The defense argued Ventura told the government Combs raped her in September 2018.  

They also noted in text messages between Ventura and Combs that followed the alleged rape, "you don't say, 'the last time we saw each other, you raped me,' right?" 

"Right," Ventura testified.

Prosecutors also expressed concern with the amount of time the defense spent questioning Ventura, who is nearly nine months pregnant. They worried it would cause a mistrial if she went into labor on the stand.

Richard said she was scared for Ventura, but did not call police. 

"I had never seen anything like that before," she testified. 

The next day, Combs invited Richard and others back into his recording studio and locked the door, she said. 

Richard testified Combs told them what happened with Ventura in the kitchen was something "passionate" and "what people in relationships do." 

He then gave them flowers, Richard said. 

The jury was dismissed for the day and will return to hear more testimony Monday morning. 

Richard told prosecutors she saw Combs get violent with Ventura at his home in Los Angeles. She said she was at Combs' home to record in his studio when it happened. 

Richard said Ventura was cooking breakfast when Combs came downstairs asking "where the f***" are his eggs. 

Richard said Combs grabbed the skillet of eggs and tried to hit Ventura with it.

Ventura fell to the ground, but it didn't look like the skillet hit her, Richard said. It was like she was anticipating getting hit, she said. 

Ventura went into the fetal position and did not respond with physical force, Richard said. 

"He started to punch her and kick her," she said. "Her body and her head."

Singer Dawn Richard was called by prosecutors after hearing from Ventura and the special agent. 

Richard described physical violence against Ventura she said she witnessed. 

The special agent told prosecutors drugs, including ketamine, ecstasy and medications were also found during the Park Hyatt search. 

The agent was asked about a picture of a backpack, which she said contained $9,000. 

Prosecutors had no further questions and the defense started cross-examination. 

Prosecutors called a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to the stand. She tells the court she conducts domestic and international investigations and is a crisis negotiator. 

She is shown photos of bags of Johnson's Baby Oil bottles and Astroglide that were taken during a search at the Park Hyatt, where Combs was arrested in 2024. 

The agent says she was the photographer during the search. 

Ventura returned to the witness stand Friday for a fourth day as Combs' defense team challenged her credibility and timeline of events.

The court heard a disturbing audio recording of Ventura confronting a man over an alleged explicit video, where she's heard making threats in a moment of emotional distress.

The defense also presented text messages between Ventura and Combs, including affectionate exchanges and messages from the time surrounding the alleged 2018 rape. They questioned inconsistencies in her timeline and highlighted continued contact between the two after the alleged incident.

The prosecution asked Ventura if she has any pending lawsuits or financial stakes in the trial. She said no to both.

They then asked Ventura why she kept broken electronic devices. She said she didn't want to bring them into an Apple Store because she feared what might've been on them. 

The defense had another question for Ventura about an alleged settlement with InterContinental. Prosecutors objected and she was dismissed.

Court entered a break. 

On redirect, Ventura told prosecutors there were times in her relationship with Combs when he was kind and loving, but they didn't last. 

Ventura said Combs' moods "affected my whole life, my career, how I felt about myself, my self worth." She said if Combs wanted a "freak off," then her work would take a backseat. 

"I had to do freak offs," she said. 

To prepare for a "freak off," Ventura said she got herself ready from head to toe, got the room ready, and arranged escorts. 

She said Combs brought her into a world she didn't know or understand at the time. 

Another message the defense said was from Ventura told Combs she doesn't hate him and that she wouldn't be at this point in her life if it wasn't for him. 

"We're honestly lucky to be alive," Combs had texted, adding he also wanted closure and to talk. "You deserve the world. I'm glad you found someone. I send this with respect for your marriage." 

Ventura told the defense they didn't end up meeting. When asked what Combs meant by "lucky to be alive," she said "we did a lot of drugs." 

Ventura then testified about struggling with addiction, going through treatment and moving with her husband, a physical trainer, to her parents' house in Connecticut. 

She said the move was not for financial reasons. 

The defense showed the jury text messages between Ventura and Combs after she was married. 

"Sending you love and light. Had a dream about you last night. What a difference a year makes," Combs wrote. 

"Have a blessed day," Ventura responded. 

Ventura told the defense she was pregnant at the time. 

In another text, Combs said, "I miss my best fried." 

Ventura responded, "Miss you too and thank you," adding she hoped he's taking care of himself and his family is well. 

Combs' texted Ventura that her response means a lot, and his kids and mom are both OK. 

The defense asked Ventura if it's true, throughout her relationship with Combs, that they were friends and she didn't always consider themselves romantic partners. 

"Correct," Ventura said. 

A man hurled eggs at photographers outside the courthouse. 

The defense asked Ventura if she saw Combs again on Sept. 27, 2018. She didn't remember, but said "sure" when asked if a document refreshed her memory. 

The defense asked Ventura if she had sexual intercourse with Combs that night.

"I did," Ventura replied. 

She was asked if she received a FaceTime call while having sex with Combs. 

"I did," she said. 

Ventura said she did not answer and that the caller ID showed it was her now-husband calling. She also said she didn't know if her husband knew she was with Combs that night. 

Ventura said she later told her now-husband that Combs raped her and that she believes he reacted by punching a wall.

The defense continued asking Ventura about text messages between her and Combs after the alleged rape. 

In one exchange, Ventura told him she heard he was in a romantic relationship with a yoga instructor. Combs said he's not dating or going out to dinner with anyone. Ventura didn't seem to believe him and Combs asked who does she think he's dating. 

"I actually need to stop even caring," Ventura's next text said. 

"Do you want to start dating, if you are, let's just talk about it," Combs responded. 

Later in the exchange, Ventura told Combs she chose her "sanity over everything" and that she's finally sleeping well and gaining weight. 

The defense attorney noted that Ventura did not say anything to Combs like, "The last time we saw each other, you raped me."

In the next text, Combs told Ventura he's not a stalker and that she should focus on her sanity. Ventura told him she'd rather talk in person and that she knows he's not a stalker. 

Ventura told attorneys Combs used the alias Frank Black, as some of the messages refer to "FB." 

The defense showed Combs responded to Ventura's message, saying he was trying to call her but was getting sent to voicemail. Another message showed Ventura responded, "I know I look bad to you ... I could tell I didn't turn you on yesterday ..."

There's a sidebar, and the defense has Ventura clarify she said in an April 2025 meeting the alleged rape happened in August 2018, not September. 

Ventura was asked if she saw Combs the day before sending the last text message and the one with a heart emoji. 

"I think so," she said. 

Ventura said she continued seeing Combs because of their 10-year relationship. 

When the defense asked Ventura if she still hates Combs, she said, "I don't hate him." 

"I have love for the past, for what it was," she said. 

The defense asked Ventura about her recollection of the lawsuit and if she remembers stating Combs forced himself into her apartment and tried to kiss her after dinner at an Italian restaurant in Malibu. 

She didn't remember the exact wording of her statement. 

"I don't remember the word forced, but maybe," Ventura said. 

She's then asked about meeting with investigators in November 2023 shortly after filing the lawsuit alleging rape. 

Ventura said Combs was acting strangely at dinner, but she didn't remember telling investigators he later seemed anxious or that she didn't think he was in his right mind. 

The defense showed an August 2018 text message allegedly from Ventura to Combs, saying, "Hit me when you can [heart emoji]." But she said she didn't recognize it.

The defense's questioning of Ventura continues as Combs' team asks about her continuing to communicate regularly with him. 

Ventura said yes, she continued telling him the relationship was over. By that time, she was seeing her now-husband, she said. 

Ventura said, from her perspective, she and Combs were not together anymore, but she had dinner with him and went to her house with him. 

She's then asked about her lawsuit accusing Combs of rape in 2018.

Prosecutors submitted a letter to the judge Friday morning, accusing the defense of trying to drag out Ventura's time on the stand. 

"The Government respectfully submits this letter requesting that the Court exercise its discretion to limit the defendant's cross examination of Ms. Ventura, if necessary, to ensure that her examination concludes by the end of the trial day today, May 16, 2025," the letter read in part. 

Prosecutors say both sides agreed to wrap up her testimony Friday, but the defense has since filed more than 400 exhibits that appear "to be a strategic choice by the defense that delayed the Government's ability to lodge objections and predictably and significantly delayed the proceedings during the first day of cross-examination yesterday."

Ventura is eight and a half months pregnant with her third child and has been seen rubbing her stomach at times. 

"The defendant should not now be afforded the opportunity to hold Ms. Ventura on cross-examination over the weekend, offering him an additional two days to review transcripts of the witness's testimony to prepare additional cross-examination inquiry, or risk a mistrial if the witness goes into labor," prosecutors wrote in their letter.

Ventura has been on the stand since Tuesday, and her husband joined her in court for support.

"Cross-examination that lasts multiple hours longer than direct examination is more than enough to vindicate the defendant's confrontation rights and satisfy any relevant defense strategy. No more is required, and any more risks harassing the witness at best and a mistrial at worst," prosecutors wrote.

With the jury out of the room, the judge asked both sides why there is some confusion about what is and isn't admitted into evidence. 

The defense said its exhibits are provided to the government by 7 p.m. the day before trial at the latest. 

The judge also asks that messages used in the trial be shown to witnesses in binders, so they don't have to look up at a screen to see them, which has been taking up some time.

The judge said he wants the government's witness list and anticipated order of witnesses by 5 p.m. Sunday. 

Ventura was asked if Combs was in rehab after the incident at the InterContinental Hotel, and she replied she didn't know. 

She testified she doesn't remember a whole lot about the aftermath of that incident, that she went to New York to do promotion for a movie she was in. 

The defense asked if she remembered Combs going to Sedona after the InterContinental Hotel incident. Ventura said he could have, and said at some point she went to Sedona to take a break from drugs and partying. 

Ventura was asked what happened when Combs suspected her of cheating in 2016. Combs had taken her phone, the defense said. 

Ventura said the two of them were not in a great place at that point, that she was dating a professional football player and wasn't sure how Combs found out about it. The two of them were in a car, driving to a doctor's appointment, when Ventura told Combs she wanted to message her mom that she was OK. That's when Combs grabbed her phone, Ventura said. She testified she thought he did so because he wanted to get into the phone.

The defense then asked about other times Combs took her phone. 

Cross-examination of Ventura resumed Friday morning. 

Defense attorneys asked Ventura about a message she allegedly sent Combs after the InterContinental Hotel incident in Los Angeles. 

"When you get f****** up the wrong way, you always want to show me that you have the power and you knock me around, I'm not a rag doll, I'm someone's child," the message said. 

Combs has been held at Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn since his arrest last September. He was denied multiple requests for bail. 

MDC Brooklyn is the only federal jail in New York City since Metropolitan Correctional Center New York shut down in 2021. 

The Brooklyn jail is also where Luigi Mangione is being held as he awaits trial in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Other high profile inmates over the years have included Sam Bankman-Fried, Ja Rule and R. Kelly, who sued the facility in 2022 for wrongly putting him on suicide watch after his sentencing.

On Wednesday, Ventura gave explicit details about so-called "freak offs." She said Combs would direct her and a male escort to perform sex acts. 

At one point, a text she sent Combs was displayed. It said, "Nothing good comes out of FO's anymore. You treat me like you're Ike Turner." 

Ventura said Combs would hit her and that she developed infections and sores in her mouth. 

In addition to ecstasy and cocaine, she said Combs would supply ketamine and GHB. 

Combs' defense team started questioning Ventura on Thursday about her off-and-on relationship with Combs that lasted nearly 11 years. 

Attorneys showed the jury many messages between the two, including some that were sexually explicit. Others were about Ventura helping Combs coordinate a "freak off." 

They also asked Ventura about her drug use and pointed out how she often took drugs without Combs. 

It was Ventura's third day on the witness stand, but first for cross-examination.

There is no livestream available for the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial because cameras are not allowed in federal court. 

Sketch artists, however, are allowed. 

CBS News New York's Alice Gainer has been covering the trial all week and will provide live updates on today's testimony.
