Cassie Ventura Opens Up About Unwanted Kiss from Diddy on Her 21st Birthday

Cassie Ventura recently shared an emotional moment from her past involving music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. During court testimony, she revealed that on her 21st birthday in August 2007, Diddy kissed her without her consent after a VMA party in Las Vegas.

Cassie recalled feeling confused and overwhelmed. “I cried because I didn’t want the kiss,” she said. At the time, Cassie was a young and rising artist, and the 17-year age gap between them added to her discomfort. She explained that she hadn’t expected her birthday to take a romantic turn and ran away from the situation in tears.

She admitted that she lacked the vocabulary to fully understand the deeper conversations they had and was trying to keep up as a young, inexperienced artist.
