Diddy Allegations

November 2023 witnessed Cassie filing a hefty lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend, Diddy, containing shocking claims of physical and emotional abuse, including instances of rape. The lawsuit unveils an array of distressing allegations, such as:

• Cassie’s assertions of physical violence and exposure to a lifestyle encompassing “excessive alcohol and substance abuse” at the hands of Diddy.
• Claims that Diddy coerced her into participating in various sexual activities.In a series of encounters, he engaged with a sequence of male prostitutes while recording them.
• Allegedly, after attempting to end her relationship with Diddy in 2018, he allegedly broke into her residence and sexually assaulted her.
• Accusations against Combs include sex trafficking, human trafficking, sexual assault, gender-motivated violence, and sexual harassment.

Cassie’s legal claim further states that in 2012, Diddy reacted furiously to rumors of her involvement with rapper Kid Cudi, even making threats to destroy the rapper’s vehicle. Shortly after this threat, reports claim that Cudi’s car indeed exploded in his driveway. Kid Cudi has confirmed this incident.

A lawyer representing Diddy vehemently denied the accusations on behalf of his client and additionally stated, “Over the last half-year, Mr. Combs has been faced with Ms. Ventura’s repeated demand for $30 million, under the threat of a damaging exposé about their relationship, an offer that was flatly refused as blatant extortion. Despite retracting her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to lodging a lawsuit filled with unfounded and outrageous falsehoods, with the aim of defaming Mr. Combs’ character and seeking financial gain.“

Responding to this denial, Cassie’s legal team countered that “Mr. Combs offered Ms. Ventura an eight-figure sum to buy her silence and prevent the lawsuit. She declined his proposal.“
