On day five of Diddy’s criminal trial in New York, defense attorney Anna Estevao brought up instances in which Cassie Ventura had previously testified that Combs would take her belongings.
One of the specific incidents discussed involved an unnamed NFL player Ventura had been seeing in August 2016.
“He would take it when he was mad about something,” Ventura said on the stand during cross-examination.
During testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs’s sex-trafficking trial, Ventura shared details about her personal life that not many people knew.
Per TMZ, Ventura alleged she had an affair with an NFL football player during her romance with Sean Combs.

Despite not naming the athlete, she described Diddy’s alleged actions in more detail on Friday in court.
Sean Combs allegedly took her things throughout their 11-year relationship, often when Combs suspected her of seeing other men and regardless of whether they were officially together at the time.
She testified that she and Combs were on their way to a doctor’s appointment when she unlocked her phone, and he suddenly snatched it and ran out of the car.
“He was trying to get in it and read my phone,” she said.
After returning home without her phone, Ventura said her mother called the police. Cassie would get her phone back a few hours later, but not before Combs used it to call the NFL player she had been seeing.
Ventura said she doesn’t know whether the man is still in the league.
“If I was with anyone else besides him,” Ventura said, he would get “upset.”
She was then questioned about whether it was considered cheating, she replied, “I don’t know that I would call it cheating. When you’re not with somebody, it’s not cheating… We weren’t married. He would get upset even when we weren’t together or going on breaks.”
Sean Combs, the hip-hop mogul also known as Diddy, is facing years in prison if convicted on all charges in his ongoing federal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
If convicted on the racketeering charge, Mr Combs faces up to life in prison. He faces another statutory minimum sentence of 15 years if he is found guilty of sex trafficking.
