Chilling Testimony: Bryana “Bana” Bongolan Details 2016 Balcony Incident Involving Diddy
Cassie’s friend just came forward with one of the most terrifying allegations yet in the explosive trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs. In a jaw-dropping testimony during the fourth week of his sex-trafficking trial, Bryana “Bana” Bongolan told jurors that the Bad Boy Records founder allegedly dangled her over a 17th-floor balcony—and the emotional scars still haunt her to this day.
Woman Who Got Escorted Out Of Diddy Trial Speaks Out And Shares His Reaction To Her Outburst
Bongolan, who was close with Cassie Ventura at the time, recalled the horrifying moment from 2016. According to her, Diddy showed up unannounced at Ventura’s apartment and violently confronted her. “He barged in,” she said. “He dangled me over the balcony and then threw me into the furniture.”
Hollywood Unlocked has previously reported on the disturbing nature of these allegations in connection with Ventura’s civil suit that sparked a wave of lawsuits and investigations into Diddy’s alleged behavior.
The fallout? Bruises, chronic back and neck pain—and severe trauma that never left. “I have night terrors and paranoia and scream in my sleep at times,” Bongolan testified.
She is among several women brought in by prosecutors aiming to prove that Combs ran a manipulative sex-fueled empire known as the “freak-offs,” which, they claim, was nothing short of criminal coercion masked by luxury and fame.
Bongolan Says Diddy Once Claimed He Was “The Devil”—And That He Could Kill Her
If that wasn’t horrifying enough, Bongolan didn’t hold back. She went further, telling the courtroom about other incidents she witnessed firsthand.
One moment stuck with jurors: a violent scene at a photoshoot. “He came up really close to my face and said something around the lines of, ‘I’m the devil and I could kill you,’” Bongolan shared.
And it didn’t stop there. She also remembered seeing Diddy allegedly throw a knife at Cassie. There was another time Cassie had a black eye—and according to Bongolan, it wasn’t a one-off.
These details weren’t just dropped in passing. They’ve been echoed in Ventura’s lawsuit, in the criminal indictment, and now in sworn courtroom testimony. It paints a picture that prosecutors are hoping jurors can’t ignore.
The defense, of course, is singing a very different tune—claiming all relationships were consensual and that Diddy’s only “empire” was built on music and business, not manipulation and fear.
The Bigger Picture: Witnesses Say The “Freak-Offs” Were Anything But Voluntary
As more and more witnesses take the stand, a disturbing pattern has begun to emerge. Prosecutors say that Diddy not only controlled Cassie’s life but had a system in place to lure women into drug-fueled sex parties—often referred to as “freak-offs.”
Bongolan’s story adds another layer of horror. It wasn’t just mental manipulation. It wasn’t just trauma. It was physical violence. Allegedly being dangled over a 17th-floor balcony goes beyond toxic—it’s life-threatening.
