Cassie Ventura Reportedly Leaves the United States for Good After $20 Million Diddy Settlement

Cassie Ventura has officially declared that she now lives outside the United States and does not plan to return, according to new legal filings connected to one of her ongoing court cases, as reported by Page Six.

In documents dated May 1 and filed as part of her lawsuit against male sex worker Clayton Howard, the singer wrote, “I reside outside of the United States. I do not intend to move back to the United States,” according to TMZ.

Representatives for Ventura did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment regarding her relocation.

It remains uncertain where Ventura has chosen to live or precisely when she made the move. The timing of her exit, however, follows nearly a year after her testimony in the federal criminal case against her former partner, Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About Your Retirement

During the trial, held in New York, Ventura testified about the alleged abuse she endured during her relationship with Combs, which lasted from 2007 through 2018. She also identified herself in court as a “citizen of the United States” while clarifying that she was “not a resident of the state of California.”

Her testimony came months after she filed a civil lawsuit in 2023 accusing Combs of rape, physical assault, and forcing her into sexual encounters with male escorts. That case was settled for $20 million, which Ventura confirmed she received from “Sean and his companies.”

Combs ultimately faced criminal charges in connection with the allegations. The jury found him guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted him on the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

Following the verdict, Ventura’s attorney Doug Widor issued a statement commending her bravery in bringing the allegations forward. “This entire criminal process started when our client Cassie Ventura had the courage to file her civil complaint in November 2023,” Widor said.

He continued, “Although the jury did not find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt, she paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution.”

Meanwhile, Ventura remains entangled in another legal dispute involving Clayton Howard, one of the men prosecutors claim Combs hired as part of the same alleged network. Howard filed his own lawsuit on July 3, 2025, naming both Combs and Ventura as defendants.

In that filing, Howard accused Ventura of transmitting a sexually transmitted disease to him and of undergoing an abortion without telling him after he allegedly got her pregnant. He also claimed she coerced him into taking ecstasy and engaging in unprotected sex.

Howard further alleged that she forced him to masturbate for extended periods, which he said resulted in physical injury. His complaint sought compensation for physical and emotional trauma, lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Ventura’s recent move abroad means she is no longer residing in California, and her declaration states clearly that she does not plan to return to the United States.

While her new location remains undisclosed, the developments mark another significant turn in the ongoing legal fallout tied to Combs and those connected to his cases.

Page Six reports that Ventura’s representatives continue to withhold comment on both her current whereabouts and her future plans.
