According to The NY Times, Cassie is filing a $30M lawsuit against the mogul for what she's claiming is years of abuse and rape! In the suit, Cassie says that not long after she met him in 2005, when she was 19, he began a pattern of control and abuse that included plving her with drugs, beating her and forcing her to have sex with a succession of male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters. In 2018, the suit says, near the end of their relationship, Mr. Combs forced his way into her home and raped her.
Cassie says Diddy was controlling from the very beginning of their relationship. She says he would often give her drugs, including ecstasy and ketamine, which she believes lead to her memory loss, which she unfortunately deals with today. She claims Diddy would beat her "multiple times each year" but she was scared to report it to the police in fear that she would be abused more.
In one incident in 2009, Diddy allegedly became enraged when he saw Cassie talking to another talent agent, then pushed her into a car and kicked her repeatedly in the face, making her bleed. The suit says that after seeing the violent repercussions, "Ms. Ventura felt that saying 'no' to Mr. Combs would cost her something - her family, her friends, her career, or even her life." In another incident, Diddy grew so angry about her dating the rapper Kid Cudi that he said he would blow up the rapper's car. "Around that time," the suit says, "Kid Cudi's car exploded in his driveway." She even claims he once hung someone off a 17th floor balcony.
The suit also says he began coercing her "to engage in a fantasy of his called 'voyeurism, in which she was directed to have sex with a succession of male prostitutes, while Diddy watched, masturbated, took pictures and shot video. They were called "freak offs". He even allegedly punched her in the face, giving her a black eye, during one of the "freak offs". It was caught on camera, but Diddy allegedly paid for it to disappear.
