P Diddy has been accused of rape, abuse and sex trafficking by ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura
The former girlfriend of hip-hop artist and record company creator P Diddy (his real name is Sean Combs) has alleged that he has carried out sexual assault, physical violence and sex trafficking. Cassie Ventura (a well-known singer who is famous for songs including Me & U and Long Way 2 Go) is the ex-girlfriend who is making these claims.
Ventura is currently pursuing a certain amount of financial compensation, the specific amount of which has not been revealed. The compensation sought is intended to cover both loss of income and the serious strain experienced as a result of intense emotional distress.
Combs' legal team has firmly denied all of Ventura's claims and deemed them "offensive and outrageous."
Brafman, who is Combs' attorney, stated that the supposed request was completely refused and seen as an obvious act of extortion.
Over the last half year, Mr Combs has been dealing with Ms Ventura's unwavering request for $30 million. She has been using the threat of releasing a harmful book about their relationship to try and get the money from him. Mr Combs has made it clear that he sees her behavior as blatant blackmail. Even though she originally backed down from her threat, Ms Ventura is now taking legal action against Mr Combs. The lawsuit she filed is full of false and absurd allegations, and her goal is to damage Mr Combs's reputation and get a big payout.
In 2006, Cassie and P Diddy were seen in a photograph together.
Ventura recently filed a new legal case in which she alleges that Combs was dominating and violent towards her during their long-term relationship that started when she was 19 and he was 37. Their relationship went on for over 10 years until they ended things in 2018. They first crossed paths back in 2005.
According to her attorney, Combs tried to give her a large sum of money to keep quiet and prevent her from taking legal action. However, Ventura refused the offer and chose to speak up for women who suffer abuse in silence.
"I have remained silent and in the shadows for many years, but now I feel prepared to share my story and advocate for myself and other women who encounter domestic violence and mistreatment in their relationships," expressed Ventura in a press release published on November 16th, 2023.
As New York's Adult Survivors Act deadline drew near, I saw it as an opening to voice the pain I went through and will continue to struggle with for the rest of my existence.
In the legal case, Combs is described as a "repeated offender of domestic violence", regularly physically assaulting Ms. Ventura by hitting and kicking her, which resulted in bruising, black eyes and bleeding. Additionally, he is accused of pressuring Ventura into using drugs, which led to her developing substance abuse problems, and forcing her to engage in sexual activities with male prostitutes.
Ventura asserts that Combs would record their interactions and pleasure himself while they occurred, causing her substantial psychological distress.
She also claims that Combs illegally entered her residence after they parted ways and sexually assaulted her.
