Singer Cassie has chosen to end her silence by filing a federal lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend, Diddy. The accusations extend to claims of rape and repeated physical abuse spanning approximately a decade. Court documents obtained by @PageSix reveal that the “Me & U” singer asserts that the pattern of abuse and control began when she met Diddy in 2005 at the age of 19.

According to the court filings, the mogul allegedly subjected Cassie to a disturbing cycle of abuse, including claims of being forced into sexual encounters with male prostitutes while being filmed, physical abuse, and the supply of drugs.

Diddy’s attorney, Ben Brafman, vehemently denies these allegations, stating that Cassie had been making financial demands from the Bad Boy Records founder. Brafman notes, “Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations.”

The legal battle takes a twist with Diddy’s lawyer claiming that Cassie, in the past six months, has persistently sought $30 million, threatening to write a damaging book about their relationship if her demands were not met.

Despite withdrawing the initial threat, she has now chosen to pursue a lawsuit that Diddy’s legal team categorizes as “riddled with baseless and outrageous lies.”

Cassie’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, counters this narrative, stating that his client and Diddy had a conversation before the lawsuit was filed.

According to Wigdor, Diddy allegedly offered Cassie money to maintain her silence. Cassie, breaking the silence after years, explains her decision: “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 lawsuit represents a significant step in addressing the complexities of abuse within high-profile relationships.
