Sean “Diddy” Combs, 54, is facing scrutiny after his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, 37, filed a lawsuit against the rapper for alleged rape and abuse on November 16. The suit was filed in Federal District Court in New York City and obtained by the New York Times that same day. The “Me and You” songstress, who was previously signed to Diddy’s record label, accused him of alleged “rape, and of repeated physical abuse over about a decade.”

The 54-year-old and Cassie dated on and off from 2007 until their 2018 split, per Billboard. “After years in silence and darkness I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships,” the 37-year-old said in a statement obtained by the NYT.
In the docs Cassie claimed that shortly after she met the Grammy winner in 2005, he allegedly began a “pattern of control” over her. At the time, she was 19 and Diddy was in his mid 30s. The outlet also reported that Cassie alleged that her now ex would ply her “with drugs” in addition to allegedly “beating her.” She also accused Diddy of allegedly “forcing her to have sex” with “male prostitutes” and that he allegedly would film the “encounters.”
