Lawyers for Sean 'Diddy' Combs have finished questioning Cassandra Ventura after asking her about text messages exchanged between the pair. The R&B singer says she would give back the $20m legal settlement she was paid the day after she accused Combs of rape and sex trafficking - if it meant never having done a "freak off".
Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to the BBC’s Nada Tawfik about Cassie’s cross examination.
