Singer Cassie is suing her ex-boyfriend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs for assault and rape, reports The New York Times. The artist states that the abuse lasted a total of ten years. The rapper denies all accusations.
Cassie filed the charges against her ex in federal court on Thursday. The pair had an on-again, off-again relationship for more than ten years. The singer was also under contract with Combs’ record label for a long time.
She states that the systematic abuse started shortly after their meeting in 2005. The singer was nineteen years old at the time, Combs was fifteen years older. She says the rapper beat her and forced her to have sex with others while he filmed it. In 2018, just before the final end of their relationship, Combs allegedly entered her home and raped her.
“After years of silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story,” says Casandra Ventura, which is Cassie’s real name. “I want to come forward, especially as an example to other women who experience violence and abuse in their relationships.”
The lawyer for Combs, now 54, calls the charges “offensive and bizarre.” Cassie is said to have demanded tens of millions in the past six months. If she did not get the money, the lawyer said she would write a book about the relationship and thereby harm Combs.
Cassie’s legal team says Combs offered his ex “an amount with seven zeros” to prevent her from going public with her story.
