Newly released court exhibits in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal trial reveal harrowing photographs of singer Cassie Ventura’s injuries, which jurors were shown last week. Over a dozen images document large bruises, black eyes and swollen lips, allegedly inflicted during a 2016 assault at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.
Cassie, now 41 and eight months pregnant, testified that she tried to conceal her wounds: “Just a selfie of my fat lip wearing sunglasses … Because I had a black eye underneath,” she told the court . Three Uber selfies from March 5, 2016, show her hiding bruises under oversized shades. Two days later, at a movie premiere after-party, she sat beside Combs in a green cocktail dress with a faint leg bruise visible in photos.
Additional exhibits include law-enforcement images from a 2024 Park Hyatt raid, displaying baby oil, personal lubricant, $9,000 in cash and bags of pink pills seized from Combs’ room. Two 2011 photos taken by her mother show bruising after Combs allegedly attacked her over a relationship with Kid Cudi. A 2013 image captures a bloody eyebrow gash from a separate alleged assault. Ventura also described a kitchen knife wedged in her door handle in 2018 as protection against Combs’ unannounced visits.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to s£x-trafficking and racketeering charges that carry a potential life sentence. The graphic evidence underscores the severity of the allegations and the high-stakes nature of the trial.
