Summary
Court filings dated May 1 show Cassie Ventura now lives outside the United States and does not intend to move back, a position disclosed in her bid to shift a California civil case to New York.
The 39-year-old singer argued New York is the more convenient forum because her lawyers are there, the plaintiff lives in New Jersey, corporate defendants are incorporated in New York, and more than two dozen related Combs cases are already pending there.
Clayton Howard sued Ventura and others last year, alleging a decade of sexual exploitation, trafficking and abuse tied to Sean "Diddy" Combs; Ventura was a key witness in Combs' 2025 sex-crimes trial.
That trial ended with Combs acquitted on racketeering and sex-trafficking counts but convicted on two prostitution-related transportation charges; he later received a 50-month prison sentence and a $500,000 fine.
