Here comes more ugliness from that Manhattan federal courtroom, where Diddy is facing serious charges.
Fashion designer Bryana “Bana” Bongolan took the stand in court this week and delivered explosive testimony against Sean “Diddy” Combs, painting a chilling picture of alleged threats and trauma from her time working with the music and fashion mogul.
Bongolan, who filed a lawsuit against Combs in November 2024, claims the artist once dangled her off a balcony in 2016 during a terrifying confrontation at a high-rise building. According to her testimony, the moment left a permanent psychological scar.
The designer told the courtroom that the traumatic incident caused lasting nightmares. “It left her with night terrors,” and she admitted she would often “scream in her sleep,” according to NBC. Her testimony described how paranoia crept into her daily life, saying she would “peek her head out at her own home just to make sure the area was clear.”
Get this, she described being suspended over the edge of a 17th floor balcony for “10 to 15” seconds while Diddy allegedly shouted, “You know what the f**k you did.”
Terrifying testimony.
But wait, it gets scarier. In one of the most startling parts of her account, Bongolan claimed Combs threatened her with chilling words. She testified that he told her “something along the lines of, ‘I am the devil and I can kill you.’”
The alleged balcony incident had also been referenced in Cassie Ventura’s 2023 lawsuit against Combs, although Bongolan was not identified in that filing. Bongolan said she witnessed multiple disturbing encounters between Diddy and Ventura during their time in his orbit.
Here’s where it gets darker.
She further testified that both she and Ventura regularly used drugs during the years they were involved in Combs’ inner circle. During cross-examination, Bongolan confirmed that she used ketamine, marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, and Vicodin during that period.
Like we said, ugliness.
