Rapper P Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, is facing a lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, accusing him of rape and years of physical abuse. The allegations state that Combs began a pattern of control and abuse shortly after they met in 2005 when Ventura was 19 years old.
Ventura claims that Combs showcased a disturbing pattern of behavior, including providing her with drugs, physically assaulting her, and coercing her into engaging in sexual activities with male prostitutes while he recorded the encounters. The suit further alleges that in 2018, towards the end of their relationship, Combs forcibly entered Ventura’s home and raped her.
Speaking out for the first time, Ventura said, After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story and to speak up on behalf of myself and other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships.
However, Combs vehemently denies the allegations through his lawyer, Ben Brafman. Brafman has stated that Ventura has been persistently demanding $30 million from Combs for the past six months, threatening to write a damaging book about their relationship. He describes her lawsuit as baseless and aims to tarnish Combs’s reputation for financial gain.
Ventura, who is also known as Cassie, is a well-known recording artist, model, and actress in the United States. Her lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, has revealed that the parties had engaged in discussions before the filing of the lawsuit. According to Wigdor, Combs offered Ventura a significant sum of money to keep her quiet and prevent her from taking legal action, which she declined.
The lawsuit lists Combs and several of his associated companies as defendants and seeks unspecified damages. The legal battle between Ventura and Combs is expected to unfold in the New York civil court.
The allegations made by Casandra Ventura against rapper P Diddy, detailing years of abuse and rape, have sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. As the case progresses, the public awaits the legal proceedings and hopes for justice to be served.
