The Allegations Against Diddy

A civil lawsuit was filed against Sean 'Diddy' Combs by his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, alleging years of emotional and physical abuse. The lawsuit detailed instances of control and manipulation, painting a picture of Diddy's immense power over Cassie's life and career. Diddy settled the case, but other suits have since been filed, including one alleging rape of a minor. This case challenges the music industry's response to the #MeToo movement, as the industry, particularly hip-hop, has largely evaded a reckoning.
