Bill Maher took direct aim at Cassie Ventura during an episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, claiming that if Diddy escapes conviction in his ongoing federal sex trafficking trial, it will be because of her own words.
His comments came in response to text messages revealed during the trial that showed Cassie expressing sexual interest in Diddy, even after she says the abuse occurred. The comedian argued that such messages undermine her claims and could be used by Diddy’s defense team to cast doubt on her testimony. Cassie testified for four days in federal court, describing a relationship marked by control, violence and coercion. She said Diddy orchestrated multi-day sex sessions called “freak-offs” involving escorts, during which she was allegedly urinated on and abused.
