A recent report from Rolling Stone unveils allegations against music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, detailing a history of alleged sexual abuse and violence towards women spanning decades.
Early Years: Allegations suggest that Combs’ abusive behavior dates back to his time at Howard University, where witnesses recall a disturbing incident involving physical violence towards a young woman.
Career Beginnings: Despite these early incidents, Combs went on to start his music career at Uptown Records, where further allegations of sexual abuse and violence emerged.
Legal Troubles: Over the years, Combs faced legal issues, including accusations of assault and involvement in a nightclub shooting, although he was acquitted of the latter charges.
Continued Allegations: The report outlines numerous instances of alleged abuse, intimidation, and control tactics by Combs towards women, even after his rise to fame and success in the music industry.
Recent Developments: Allegations against Combs continue to surface, with new accusers coming forward and a pending criminal investigation by the Department of Justice.
Cassie, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, filed a lawsuit against him last year, making serious claims.
Before Cassie filed her suit, Diddy was getting ready for the fallout, according to music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones.
Diddy took several actions in response, like donating money to his alma mater and launching an e-commerce platform for black entrepreneurs.
Aubrey O’Day from Danity Kane declined an offer from Diddy due to a mandatory nondisclosure agreement.
Cassie alleged that Diddy forcibly kissed her during her 21st birthday and pressured her into drug use.
Diddy allegedly physically assaulted Cassie when she briefly dated rapper Kid Cudi.
The abuse escalated into sex trafficking, with Diddy pressuring Cassie to engage in filmed sexual encounters.
Cassie claimed Diddy once endangered her friend by dangling them over a balcony.
Cassie also described being assaulted at a Los Angeles hotel, which was later corroborated by video footage.
Diddy allegedly continued to harass Cassie even after their relationship ended, mentioning her in his acceptance speech at the BET Lifetime Achievement Award.
Cassie’s friend, Tiffany Red, revealed the challenges of negotiating Cassie’s departure from Bad Boy Records while dealing with Diddy’s involvement.
According to her lawsuit, Cassie sought treatment at a rehabilitation center to recover from the physical and psychological impact of her relationship with Diddy.
Five more women have accused Diddy of sexual assault or rape since he settled a lawsuit. These accusations date back to 1990.
One of the accusers, Joi Dickerson-Neal, said she sued Diddy to show that despite his fame, he’s actually sick and has harmed many people over the years.
Diddy’s lawyer said he can’t talk about past lawsuits, ongoing lawsuits, or every allegation in the media. They trust that the authorities will handle any serious issues properly.
The news about Diddy’s accusations comes as the Department of Justice is getting ready to charge him with a crime. His accusers might need to testify in New York City.
