Sean “Diddy” Combs just got hit with another lawsuit blow from a woman who claims she witnessed and experienced some truly horrifying things.
Fashion designer Bryana “Bana” Bongolan filed a lawsuit against the Bad Boy CEO alleging she witnessed the abuse against his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura - who filed a bombshell lawsuit accusing him of sex trafficking and sex abuse last November. According to documents obtained by PEOPLE and Rolling Stone, Bongolan claimed in one instance, she even saw Combs allegedly throw a large kitchen knife at Ventura, who then allegedly threw one back in self-defense.
However, Bongolan claims she experienced Combs’ violence herself in September 2016. At the time, the suit says she befriended Ventura and was sleeping over her apartment. Combs allegedly entered the room and confronted Bongolan on the balcony of the apartment. The suit says he then began groping her breasts before picking her up and placing her on the banister of the balcony - which was 17 stories high.
“Do you know what the f— you did?!” he allegedly yelled at her.
Bongolan’s 4'11 height and 100-pound weight stood no chance in resisting Combs who “easily overpowered” her while she struggled to keep herself from being thrown to the ground, per the suit. Ventura then came out onto the balcony streaming for Combs to stop, informing him another woman was in the apartment witnessing the horrifying scene. The lawsuit says Combs pulled Bongolan back over the balcony but only to slam her onto the patio furniture. The suit says Bongolan still has no idea what she “did.”
“The only purpose of dangling someone over a balcony is to actually kill them or to intentionally terrorize them and rob them of any concept of dominion over their own bodily autonomy and safety,” read the lawsuit, per Rolling Stone.
Bongolan demands $10 million in damages for the emotional distress she’s suffered since the incident.
Combs is facing this lawsuit in addition to dozens more featuring similar claims of sexual assault, violence and threats. He’s also facing federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and engaging in interstate transportation for prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty, and was denied bail three times. His trial is scheduled for May 2025.
