Diddy Trial: Bryana Bongolan Continues Her Testimony After Lunch On Day 16 (Part 2) (6/7/25)
After the lunch break on June 4, 2025, the federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs continued with the cross-examination of Bryana "Bana" Bongolan. Bongolan, a close friend of Cassie Ventura, had earlier testified about a 2016 incident where Combs allegedly lifted her over a 17th-floor balcony railing and then threw her onto patio furniture, causing physical injuries and lasting psychological trauma. During cross-examination, the defense sought to challenge her credibility by highlighting her past drug use and suggesting potential financial motives, noting her pending $10 million lawsuit against Combs. Despite these efforts, Bongolan maintained her account, emphasizing the fear and lasting impact of the alleged assault .
The afternoon session also included discussions about upcoming testimonies, notably from a witness referred to as "Jane," who is expected to testify about being coerced into drug-fueled sex acts known as "freak-offs" orchestrated by Combs. The court addressed concerns about maintaining the anonymity of such witnesses, especially after a previous incident where a witness's identity was inadvertently revealed. Judge Arun Subramanian emphasized the importance of protecting witness identities to ensure their safety and the integrity of the proceedings .
