Summary
Court filings say Cassie Ventura now lives outside the United States and does not intend to move back, a position she disclosed while seeking to shift a related lawsuit from California to New York.
Her motion argues New York is the better venue because many underlying events occurred there, more than two dozen similar Diddy-linked cases are already pending there, and the corporate defendants are incorporated there.
The lawsuit was filed by former male escort Clayton Howard, who accuses Sean “Diddy” Combs and Ventura of sexual exploitation, trafficking and abuse over a 10-year period; Ventura has denied his allegations.
The move comes nearly a year after Ventura’s four days of testimony in Combs’ 2025 sex-crimes trial, which ended with acquittals on racketeering and sex-trafficking counts but convictions on 2 prostitution-related counts.
