Diddy
is
being
sued
by
his
former
lover
Cassie,
stating
she
was
rapped
and
sex
trafficked
during
their
relationship.
Cassie,
born
Casandra
Ventura,
filed
the
suit
in
New
York
City,
stating
she
was
the
victim
of
a
“cycle
of
abuse,
violence
and
sex
trafficking.
Included
in
the
lawsuit
was
a
2018
rape,
which
Cassie
stated
as
Diddy
attempted
to
prevent
her
from
leaving
him.
“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,”
Cassie
said
in
a
statement.
“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.”

In
a
sharp
reply
to
PEOPLE,
Diddy’s
lawyer
Ben
Brafman,
stated
all
the
claims
are
“offensive
and
outrageous.”
“Mr.
Combs
vehemently
denies
these
offensive
and
outrageous
allegations.
Ms.
Ventura’s
demand
of
$30
million,
under
the
threat
of
writing
a
damaging
book
about
their
relationship,
was
unequivocally
rejected
as
blatant
blackmail,”
Brafman
said.
“Despite
withdrawing
her
initial
threat,
Ms.
Ventura
has
now
resorted
to
filing
a
lawsuit
riddled
with
baseless
and
outrageous
lies,
aiming
to
tarnish
Mr.
Combs’
reputation,
and
seeking
a
pay
day.”
The
complaint
was
first
reported
by
The
New
York
Times,
highlighting
the
suit
leads
with
a
trigger
warning.
Additional
disturbing
claims
included
Cassie
being
beaten
by
Diddy,
forced
sex
acts
with
male
sex
workers
while
he
filmed
and
masturbated
to
the
encounters,
threats
via
firearms,
and
blowing
up
another
recording
artist’s
car
for
having
an
interest
in
the
singer.
A
full
run

the
claims
can
