Singer Cassie Breaks Silence After Decade of Alleged Abuse by Rapper and Record Executive Sean “Diddy” Combs

A shocking legal complaint filed by singer Cassie has revealed allegations of a decade of abuse from rapper and record executive Sean “Diddy” Combs. The complaint, filed in federal court in New York City on Thursday, alleges that Combs raped, physically abused, and sex trafficked the singer, who is professionally known as Cassie, during their decade-long relationship.

The complaint also alleges that Combs threatened to blow up rapper Kid Cudi’s car shortly before a vehicle exploded in his driveway in 2012. It describes Combs as a “vicious, cruel, and controlling man,” who “asserted complete control over Ms. Ventura’s personal and professional life.”

In a statement to CBS News, Cassie said, “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 complaint comes after the expiration of a non-disclosure agreement between the two, which had prevented Cassie from speaking out about the alleged abuse. The singer is seeking unspecified damages for the alleged abuse.

The allegations against Combs have sparked outrage among many in the music industry, with many calling for justice for Cassie. The case is ongoing and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be.
