In tears, Mrs. Ventura expressed her willingness to return the substantial settlement she received after filing her lawsuit against Combs in November 2023, emphasizing that the so-called "freak-offs" left her emotionally and physically scarred. The trial, which has captivated public attention, centers on serious charges including racketeering and sex trafficking against Combs, who maintains his innocence.

However, she passionately rebutted these insinuations, stating she longs for a life filled with agency, free from the shadow of her past relationship with Combs.
Key moments during the trial included the presentation of disturbing security footage showing Combs allegedly assaulting Mrs. Ventura in a hotel in 2016. Additional witnesses, including Dawn Richard, corroborated claims of violence witnessed during that relationship.
