The lawsuit, filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan, Cassie, real name Casandra Ventura, claimed that the pattern of abuse started when she met Diddy in 2005 - at the tender age of 19.
The report claims that Diddy introduced her to illegal substances while he abused her and forced her to have s*x with male prostitut*s while he filmed it.
In the lawsuit papers, Cassie alleges that she could not refuse Diddy’s advances because of his status as the founder of Bad Boy Records and his financial position.
In one incident described in the court papers, Cassie says that in early 2012, Diddy became jealous about her romantic interest in another American rapper, Kid Cudi, that Diddy said he would blow up his car. Shortly after, Kid Cudi’s car exploded in his driveway.
According to a Twitter (X) post shared by Real KRMoments, it is alleged that Kid Cudi confirmed Cassie's account:
The allegations against Diddy also include s*xual assault in 2018. Cassie detailed how Diddy allegedly sexually assaulted her in her apartment after she had tried to break up with him.
The New York Times reported that Cassie is speaking up now to tell her story and help all other victims of abuse in relationships.
Diddy denies allegations
Meanwhile, The Guardian reported that Diddy has come out to vehemently deny these allegations through lawyer Ben Brafman:
“For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail.
Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs’s reputation and seeking a payday.”
