Diddy’s pregnant ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura has gone into labor just days after testifying in the disgraced rapper’s sex trafficking trial.
Ventura, 38 years old, is pregnant with her third child with her spouse Alex Fine. Reports have indicated that she was taken to a hospital in New York on Tuesday and is presently in the labor and delivery section.
Ventura was around eight months pregnant when she began her horrifying testimony in the trial on May 12.
She delivered graphic testimonies alleging that the music mogul physically and psychologically abused her over more than a decade from 2007-2018.
She provided intricate details of the alleged physical abuse she endured, the use of blackmail and intimidation by the rapper to control and influence her, as well as the disturbing sexual acts she claims she was coerced into performing – all of which took a toll on her health.
Ventura concluded testifying on May 16, just 11 days before she went into labor.

Controversy first publicly grew around Diddy in late 2023, when he quickly settled a sex abuse case Ventura filed against him for a rumored $30million.
Multiple properties across the country he owned were raided in March of 2024 and he was arrested six months later in September.
In May 2024 Combs’ downfall was hastened by the release of a devastating video of him beating Ventura in the corridor of a hotel in Los Angeles in 2016.
The video, which was first broadcast by CNN last May, was played in full to the trial before Ventura, a male escort and others gave their testimonies.
He has remained incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting his trial after he was refused bail on multiple occasions.
He faces life in prison on five federal charges: racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution.
Combs has plead not guilty to all the charges. His defense team has said the alleged victims are ex-girlfriends who willingly participated in threesomes.

Prosecutors in Combs’ federal case say the music mogul used blackmail and violence in his efforts to silence alleged victims. Among the claims made against the entertainer is that he persuaded women to participate against their will in group sexual exhibitions referred to as ‘Freak Offs.’
Ventura’s testimony during the trial earlier this month painted a harrowing picture of her years with Diddy, describing the emotional and physical abuse she allegedly endured.
A male escort allegedly hired by Combs to engage in a variety of sexual acts with Ventura during his notorious ‘freak off’ parties also took the stand to explain how ‘Diddy’ purportedly pushed Ventura into unprotected sex with strangers and orchestrated various sexual encounters for his own pleasure.
In response, lawyers for Combs sought to portray Ventura as a willing and eager participant in the music mogul’s sexual lifestyle. His defense says that, while he is guilty of domestic violence, nothing he did amounted to a criminal enterprise.
They exposed more text messages where she declared her love for the rapper, despite the abuse she says she suffered, and prompted her to admit that she neither ‘hated’ the rapper when the alleged abuse happened, nor does she ‘hate him’ today.
She confirmed that they continued their relationship even after he beat her, and even cheated on her now husband with Diddy.
Ventura said Diddy raped her, was an out-of-control drug addict, and someone she felt she couldn’t leave.
She later testified that she broke up with Diddy for good in August 2018 after she saw a photo of him with another woman he’d been dating for the last few years of their decade-long relationship. Soon after, Ventura said, she started dating her now husband, Fine.
