Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trial took a dramatic turn today when fashion designer Bryana “Bana” Bongolan testified, offering a horrifying glimpse into a frightening encounter in 2016 inside Cassie and Diddy’s high-rise condo. In what is now one of the most incendiary moments of the case, Bongolan alleged the music mogul had violently seized her and dangled her over a 17th-floor ledge for a seething outburst.
In minutes, he went from a loving boyfriend to a threatening and scary stranger. Bongolan claims Diddy barged his way into the condo where Cassie was staying with her then-boyfriend and simply “was not playing nice.” The testimony depicted a situation of chaos and fear. Bongolan remembered that Diddy yelled, “You know what the f*ck you did!” before purportedly swinging her dangerously over the edge of the balcony, a move that left her both traumatized and physically hurt. At some point, Cassie, she testified, ran outside, perhaps to try to calm things down. But Diddy’s anger reportedly went away again. Bongolan said he threw Cassie into the balcony furniture. Bongolan says she was left with back and neck pain and a large bruise on her leg and claims the people around her downplayed it.

At the hearing, Bongolan described trying to get help after the incident. “I called one of my managers and they said, if you’re scared of anything else, just go to a chiropractor,” she recalled. The emotional power of what she had to say made clear quite how normal violence and fear felt in the world in which she found herself. When the medical professionals asked whether she had told them that Diddy had caused her injuries, Bongolan acknowledged that she did not. “They asked, but I just paid and took the neck brace,” she said.
In a bombshell testimony, she alleged they had taken drugs together. Together, they would use drugs and go shopping, said Bongolan. She claimed she frequently bought OxyContin for Cassie and was always paid back. Perhaps more troubling is her claim that she purchased Diddy cocaine, giving those who’ve piled on the embattled producer even more fuel to the fire. The already salacious federal trial has only grown more charged with allegations and speculation following Bongolan’s testimony. Her lawsuit for $10 million against Diddy adds another layer to a legal saga that has quickly morphed into a public reckoning not just for Diddy but for the culture of silence and complicity in the circles of celebrities he used to be movers and shakers.
Despite Diddy’s legal team’s ongoing denials, the court of public opinion is sounding off with some force. Every day of testimony strips away another layer of purported misconduct, exposing a troubled underbelly beneath the glittering facade of one of hip-hop’s most powerful figures. This trial is far from over. Voices long silenced by fear or loyalty are being heard now, and their stories åreverberate throughout the entertainment industry.
