Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been accused of rape and physical abuse in a federal lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend, R&B legend Cassie.
The 54-year-old rapper, who goes by P Diddy, alleged control and abuse of Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, for more than ten years.
It is also claimed that just before the end of their relationship, which began in 2005 and ended in 2018, Combs forced his way into her home and raped her.
Combs vehemently denies the allegations.
In a legal document filed in Manhattan Federal District Court, Ventura alleged that her ex-boyfriend began a pattern of control and abuse.

This included drugging her, beating her and forcing her to have sex with a succession of male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters.
In the legal document, she said: “After years in silence and darkness.
“I am finally ready to tell my story, and speak up for myself and for other women who have experienced violence and abuse in their relationships.”
Ben Brafman, Combs’ lawyer, said: “Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and defamatory allegations.
“For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subject to Ms. Ventura’s ongoing demands of $30 million, and threats to write a damaging book about their relationship, which has been flatly rejected as blatant blackmail.
“Despite withdrawing his initial threat, Mr. Ventura has resorted to filing a lawsuit filled with baseless lies, with the aim of tarnishing Mr. Combs’ reputation and seeking a payday.”
Ventura’s lawsuit, which names Combs and several of his associated companies as defendants, seeks unspecified damages.
Her lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, said the parties spoke before the suit was filed.
“Mr. Combs offered Ms. Ventura eight figures to silence her and prevent the filing of this lawsuit,” he said.
“She rejected his efforts.”
