Diddy Trial: Bryana Bongolan Wraps Up Her Testimony On Day 17 (Part 1) (6/7/25)
On the morning of June 5, 2025, the federal sex trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs in Manhattan continued with the defense's cross-examination of Bryana "Bana" Bongolan, a close friend of Combs's ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Bongolan had previously testified about a harrowing 2016 incident where Combs allegedly dangled her over a 17th-floor balcony while shouting profanities, then threw her onto furniture, causing physical injuries. During cross-examination, defense attorneys sought to challenge her credibility by highlighting inconsistencies in her account, questioning her history of drug use, and pointing out her involvement in a separate lawsuit against Combs. Despite these efforts, Bongolan maintained her allegations, which align with Ventura's earlier testimony describing a pattern of abuse and coercion by Combs.
Following the conclusion of Bongolan's testimony, prosecutors prepared to call a key witness, identified only by the pseudonym "Jane," to the stand. Jane is expected to provide testimony about her alleged experiences with Combs, including participation in so-called "freak-off" sex marathons and instances of abuse. Her account is anticipated to reinforce the prosecution's case, which portrays Combs as orchestrating a pattern of manipulation and exploitation over several years. The court has taken measures to protect Jane's identity, including restricting media access during her testimony.
