US EditionTakeaways From ‘Diddy’ Trial: Woman Accuses Sean Combs of Dangling Her over a Balcony
- Bryana Bongolan, a friend of Cassie Ventura, testified in a Manhattan federal courtroom that in September 2016, Sean Combs lifted her onto the balcony railing of a high-rise apartment at Ventura's residence.
- The incident occurred amid prosecutors' allegations that Combs coerced women, including Ventura, into drug-fueled sex shows called Freak Offs through force and threats over two decades.
- Bongolan described Combs yelling at her, holding her over the railing for 10 to 15 seconds, then throwing her onto balcony furniture, causing bruises and lasting emotional trauma.
- Bongolan testified that following Combs' assault, she experienced intense fear and anxiety that caused her to vocalize distress during her sleep, and she also suffered from pain in her back and neck.
- Combs has denied the charges against him, which include racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, and faces a possible life sentence if found guilty; the trial remains underway with additional witness testimonies anticipated.

The prosecution called graphic designer Bryana Bongolan as a witness, who told the jury and judge that the 55-year-old once leaned her over the edge of a 17th-floor balcony and threatened her, and she also saw him throw a knife at her friend Casandra Ventura.
