Ex-girlfriend sues rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs
R&B singer Cassie has accused US rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs of raping her. According to the indictment, he allegedly abused his ex-girlfriend for more than a decade. The musician denies the allegations.
US rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been sued by an ex-girlfriend over allegations of rape and abuse. In a civil lawsuit, R&B singer Casandra Ventura, who goes by the stage name Cassie, accuses the musician of subjecting her to "violent behavior and disruptive demands" for more than a decade.
The rapper, known by the stage names Puff Daddy, P. Diddy and Diddy, forced her to have sex with other men while he pleasured himself and filmed her, according to the lawsuit filed in a federal court in New York. Combs also repeatedly punched and kicked her and finally raped her in 2018 when she wanted to break up with him. Ventura is demanding compensation for pain and suffering and damages in an undisclosed amount.
According to the lawsuit, the singer met Combs in 2005 when she was 19 years old and he was 37. Combs signed her to his label Bad Boy Records and later "lured" her into a "drug-fueled lifestyle" and a relationship with him. "Her boss, one of the most powerful men in the entertainment industry, and a vicious, cruel and controlling man nearly two decades her senior," the lawsuit states. Combs' lawyer Ben Brafman strongly denied the allegations against the rapper. He said the allegations were "offensive and outrageous".
Combs became one of the most successful rap musicians in the world in the 1990s. The three-time Grammy winner is also a successful music producer and businessman. According to Forbes magazine, he was the highest-paid celebrity in the world in 2017.
The allegations of rape and abuse against Sean "Diddy" Combs by his ex-girlfriend Cassie have cast a dark shadow over his entertainment empire. Despite being a celebrated celebrity couple, their relationship was marked by sexual abuse and control, as detailed in Cassie's lawsuit.
