Nicole Westmoreland, who recently joined music mogul Diddy’s legal team, has opened up about a painful chapter in her past—she says she was sexually assaulted in 2001 when she was just 19 years old.

Back then, Westmoreland worked for a company that helped people get their suspended driver’s licenses back. During that time, she met Bryan Williams, who was a vice president at Cash Money Records, and another man named “Stone.” They invited her to give a presentation at a popular studio in Atlanta called Patchwerk Recording Studio.

Westmoreland attended the meeting with three female friends. While there, she was introduced to Alfred Cleveland, who was a close friend of Ronald “Slim” Williams, the president of Cash Money Records and Bryan’s brother.

According to Westmoreland, Cleveland offered to show her where the bathroom was. But instead of helping her, he forced her inside and raped her. She says that while the assault was happening, another man walked up to the door. Cleveland reportedly asked him to stand guard and even tried to pass her off to him. She pleaded with him not to, and eventually, he let her go.

Despite being threatened not to speak up, Westmoreland went to the police. Cleveland was later arrested. He didn’t go to trial but admitted guilt by pleading to aggravated assault with intent to rape.

Now, years later, Westmoreland is making headlines not just for her bravery in sharing her story but also because she’s now representing Diddy, who is facing his own set of legal problems. Multiple women have filed civil lawsuits against him, accusing him of sexual assault and rape. Jury selection for his federal trial is ongoing, with the second round recently adding 16 new potential jurors—most of them men.

Westmoreland’s courage to speak about her past adds a powerful voice to the ongoing conversations around sexual assault, justice, and accountability in the entertainment industry.
