A woman has come forward in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial in New York with a harrowing accusation. Bryana “Bana” Bongolan, a 33-year-old fashion designer, testified under oath that Combs once lifted her over a 17th-floor balcony in a terrifying incident that has haunted her for years.
Bongolan became closely involved in Combs’ inner circle in 2016 due to her friendship and professional collaborations with Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, Combs’ former girlfriend who has also testified against the music mogul. The two women often worked on fashion designs at Ventura’s Los Angeles apartment and reportedly used drugs such as marijuana and ketamine during their time together.
A Chilling Confrontation and Lasting Trauma
One morning, Bongolan and her then-girlfriend were sleeping at Ventura’s apartment when a series of loud bangs at the door startled them awake. Bongolan said she hid her girlfriend and attempted to remain calm by stepping out onto the balcony. Combs, described as visibly angry, allegedly entered the apartment, approached her from behind, and shockingly lifted her onto the balcony railing.
“He kept yelling, ‘You know what the f*** you did,’ but I had no idea what he was talking about,” Bongolan said. “I was terrified I’d fall. I was trying to push back, not slip.”
Moments later, Combs allegedly threw her onto patio furniture. Ventura reportedly emerged and demanded to know if he had actually hung Bongolan over the balcony, which caused Combs to leave the apartment after learning Bongolan’s girlfriend was inside.
Photos of Bongolan’s bruised leg, bandaged back, and neck in a brace were shown in court. She testified she visited a chiropractor that day but didn’t report the incident out of fear.
Bongolan also recounted another disturbing moment when Combs allegedly told her, “I’m the devil, and I could kill you,” while they were in Malibu.
Despite a $10 million civil suit she filed in November 2024, Bongolan insists her testimony is not financially motivated, stating: “I wanted to seek justice.” Her cross-examination, which began Wednesday, will continue Thursday.
