Cassie Ventura was reportedly rushed to the labor and delivery unit of a New York City hospital Tuesday — just two weeks after the pregnant R&B singer testified in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial in Manhattan.
The “Me & U” singer, who is expecting her third child, was admitted to the unit earlier in the day and may be experiencing complications, sources told TMZ.
It wasn’t immediately clear which hospital was overseeing Ventura’s care.
The married mom-of-two is the star witness in the Bad Boy Records founder’s explosive federal trial, where the disgraced former mogul faces charges for sex trafficking, racketeering and fraud.
Ventura, 38, was eight months pregnant when she spent four days in federal court recounting in painstaking detail the alleged rape, coerced sex, beatings and other horrors she endured at the hands of the embattled producer during their on-again, off-again relationship between 2007 and 2018.
During the high-profile trial, she alleged the rapper forced her to participate in his twisted “freak-offs.”
She also told jurors the “I’ll Be Missing You” artist violently beat her throughout their tumultuous relationship and allegedly raped her following their 2018 break-up.
Ventura broke down on the stand as she spoke about going to rehab and undergoing trauma therapy after years of allegedly enduring horrific abuse from Combs, who is 17 years her senior.
Her husband and father of her children, Alex Fine, was present in the courtroom during her emotionally charged testimony.
Following her final day on the stand, Ventura released a statement calling her grueling four days of testimony “extremely challenging” but also “remarkably empowering and healing for me.”
“I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from the abuse and fear,” she said.
“I’m glad to put this chapter of my life to rest. As I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy, I ask for privacy for me and my growing family.”
Combs, 55, is accused of trafficking women for sex during the “freak-offs” and other serious crimes.
He has pleaded not guilty and faces life in prison if convicted.
