Eko Hot Blog reports that R&B singer, Casandra Ventura, better known as Cassie, has accused her ex-boyfriend and music mogul Sean Combs, popularly known as P Diddy of rape and repeated physical abuse in an explosive lawsuit.
The lawsuit became public late Thursday night.
According to the lawsuit, Diddy, a rapper, allegedly controlled and abused Cassie for over a decade as well as plying her with drugs, beating her, and forcing her to have sex with multiple male prostitutes while he watched and recorded.
The pair, who met in 2005, split in 2018.
The lawsuit claims that just before the end of their relationship, Diddy forced his way into her home and raped her.
The 54-year-old music executive has vehemently denied all of the allegations, describing them as “offensive and outrageous.”
In a legal document that was filed in Manhattan’s Federal District Court in New York, United States, Cassie said she was coming forward with her shocking story 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,” she said.
Among the serious allegations is that Diddy sex trafficked Cassie to male prostitutes to fulfil his voyeurism fantasies in hotels and at his home.
The lawsuit claims she was directed to have sex with multiple men while the music exec watched, masturbated, and filmed.
Cassie, in the documents, called the ordeals “horrific encounters” and said she had to take drugs to disassociate during the arrangements which Diddy allegedly called “freak offs”.
The lawsuit states that the music executive, who she first met as a teenager, told her it would “turn him on” if he saw her with “another d***.”
He allegedly hired a man and brought him to his home in Los Angeles, California, to engage in the sex acts with Cassie.
“Mr. Combs directed Ms. Ventura to perform sexual acts with this man while Mr. Combs watched them,” the lawsuit states.
“He masturbated while he directed Ms. Ventura and the man to do specific sexual acts. The entire encounter lasted multiple days.”
During one of the sex sessions in March 2016, a drunk Combs punched her in the face, giving her a black eye, according to the lawsuit.
He fell asleep and she tried to leave the hotel room in Los Angeles, but Diddy followed her into the hallway and threw glass vases at her.
The lawsuit claims that while the hotel’s security cameras captured the incident, the rapper paid the hotel $50,000 for the footage.
On another occasion in 2013, Diddy allegedly set up a “freak off” at the InterContinental Hotel in New York City and was charged tens of thousands of dollars in damages by the hotel.
Cassie was expected to facilitate the location and hiring of male sex workers for the “freak offs,” according to the lawsuit.
She was said to have been instructed to use websites and escort services to find men with “large black penises.”
It alleged that Diddy would insist on the encounters weekly and repeatedly told her it was ‘our thing’ and ‘our secret’.
Cassie claimed the “freak offs” would often take place in hotel suites in cities including New York City, Miami and Los Angeles and that Diddy would pay to fly the sex workers to the location as well as pay them thousands of dollars in cash.
The lawsuit states: “Mr. Combs always supplied Ms. Ventura (and the sex worker) with copious amounts of drugs before and during the FOs.
“Ms. Ventura was given ecstasy, cocaine, GHB, ketamine, marijuana, and alcohol in excessive amounts during FOs, which allowed her to disassociate during these horrific encounters.
“It became common place to get IV fluids in the days after an FO to recover from the excessive substances pushed upon her.”
Cassie also claims that Diddy would threaten to suppress her music if she did not obey his ‘violent’ orders. He also paid for her car and apartment, and had access to her personal medical records, the suit claims.
She is seeking unspecified damages. The lawsuit is brought under the Adult Survivors Act, which is a New York law allowing people to file claims even after the statute of limitations has run out.
The suit said: “With the expiration of New York’s Adult Survivors Act fast approaching it became clear that this was an opportunity to speak up about the trauma I have experienced and that I will be recovering from for the rest of my life.”
Diddy, who also goes by the stage name Puff Daddy, is worth an estimated $1 billion after being one of the star figures in the commercialization of hip-hop in the 1990s.
He founded Bad Boy – his record label – which Cassie was signed to in 2006.
Cassie has since married Alex Fine and has two children with him.
