Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of rape and physical abuse by his former romantic partner, singer-songwriter Cassie. According to a lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court on Thursday, Cassie, whose full name is Cassandra Ventura, alleges that Combs abused her for more than a decade, beginning when she was 19 and he was 37.
The 35-page complaint details numerous allegations of abuse, including that Combs forced Ventura to engage in sexual acts with male sex workers while he watched and recorded, raped her after breaking into her home following their breakup, and blew up the car of rapper-producer Kid Cudi, who had been romantically interested in her.
Ventura’s complaint states that she “was held down by Mr. Combs and endured over a decade of his violent behavior and disturbed demands.” Combs has yet to publicly comment on the allegations.
The lawsuit comes at a time when the music industry is facing increased scrutiny over its treatment of women. In recent months, a number of prominent figures, including R. Kelly and Ryan Adams, have been accused of sexual misconduct and abuse.
The allegations against Combs are serious and will likely have a significant impact on his career. It remains to be seen how the music industry will respond to the accusations, and whether Combs will face any legal repercussions.
