Cassie Ventura’s mother, Regina Ventura, is expected to testify next week as the federal trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs enters its second week, according to CNN. This development comes after Cassie named her mother multiple times during her emotional testimony last week.
Prosecutor Maurene Comey revealed that Regina Ventura could take the stand after former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard testifies. Although it’s unclear what Cassie’s mother will be asked under oath, her involvement could further validate her daughter’s claims or provide key background context.
Regina Ventura has remained mostly silent throughout the lead-up to the trial. Cassie previously testified that she and her husband Alex Fine had been living with her mother until she received a $20 million settlement from Diddy in 2023.
The lawsuit, filed by Cassie, alleged years of sexual assault and abuse during her relationship with the Bad Boy mogul, which began when she was just 19.
Social media reactions to Regina’s expected testimony have been mixed, with some questioning her parenting and others doubting the value of her appearance.
Critics on Instagram expressed skepticism, asking why key alleged victims of sex trafficking haven’t taken the stand instead. Others questioned how much more Regina could add to her daughter’s already detailed account.
Still, prosecutors appear to see value in her testimony as the trial continues to unfold. The courtroom will resume proceedings on Monday, May 19, with more witnesses and evidence expected to surface as the case progresses.
