Cassie’s Friend, Bryana Bongolan, Says Diddy Threatened To Kill Her

A former graphic designer for Sean “Diddy” Combs testified in federal court on Wednesday (June 4) that Diddy once dangled her over the edge of a 17th-floor balcony during a violent outburst.

Per NBC News, Bryana “Bana” Bongolan told jurors that the 2016 incident occurred at the Los Angeles apartment of Diddy’s’ former girlfriend, and her longtime friend, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura. According to Bongolan, Diddy verbally abused her while holding her over the railing for “10 to 15 seconds,” before throwing her onto patio furniture.

“I was scared to fall,” she recalled on the stand, adding that she had no idea what prompted the outburst. “You know what the f**k you did,” Diddy allegedly shouted, according to her testimony. She also recalled Diddy allegedly said “something along the lines of, ‘I am the devil and I can kill you,’” and he had taken cocaine at the time of the incident.

Bongolan explained that she she was 5’1″ and weighed approximately 100 to 115 pounds at the time. She claimed she attempted to brace herself and push back off him, but ended up with a bruise the size of a softball on her leg and pain in her neck and back. Jurors were reportedly shown photos of her in a neck brace.

“I have nightmares and I have a lot of paranoia,” she testified. “I used to scream a lot in my sleep, but it’s dissipated a little bit.” Even years later, Bongolan said she still experiences symptoms of trauma, including paranoia when opening doors or walking into rooms.

She added that while Cassie did not witness the incident directly, she was present in the apartment and emerged from her bedroom in disbelief after hearing the commotion. “Cassie was in her bedroom but she came out. I heard her voice — her tone was in disbelief,” Bongolan claimed. Following the alleged incident, the witness said she received a FaceTime call from either Diddy or someone on his team and expressed that she “did not want any trouble.”

She testified that the music mogul remained mostly silent while looking at the camera with his hand on his head.

Diddy’s defense attempted to discredit Bongolan, alleging she was a heavy drug user and may have been under the influence at the time of the incident — an accusation she denies. However, she did state earlier in her testimony that she and Cassie were both “regular” drug users while in Diddy’s “social world.”

“We had a problem,” she said.

Bongolan’s testimony comes after notable figures’ including Kid Cudi, Cassie, Capricorn Clark and others. Diddy is facing serious federal charges including: Racketeering Conspiracy; Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud, or Coercion, and Transportation to Engage in Prostitution.

The 55-year-old has denied all criminal allegations. However, FOX News Digital reports that Diddy’s legal team acknowledged he committed domestic violence — in an attempt to negotiate lesser state charges and avoid federal prison time. The father-of-seven was arrested in October 2024 at the Park Hyatt in Manhattan and remains in custody. If convicted, he faces a potential sentence of 15 years to life in prison.
