In the suit, filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan, Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura — and who had long been Mr. Combs’s romantic partner — says that not long after she met him in 2005, when she was 19, he began a pattern of control and abuse that included plying her with drugs, beating her and forcing her to have sex with a succession of male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters. In 2018, the suit says, near the end of their relationship, Mr. Combs forced his way into her home and raped her.
I thought it was common knowledge that she was his prostitute?

From the lawsuit:
Among other violent and unlawful acts, Mr. Combs: • Raped Ms. Ventura in her own home after she tried to leave him;
• Often punched, beat, kicked and stomped on Ms. Ventura, resulting in bruises, burst lips, black eyes and bleeding;
• Blew up a man’s car after he learned that he was romantically interested in Ms. Ventura;
• Forced Ms. Ventura to engage in sex acts with male sex workers while masturbating and filming the encounters;
• Ran out of his apartment with a firearm in pursuit of a rival industry executive whom he learned was nearby;
• Demanded that Ms. Ventura to carry his firearm in her purse just to make her uncomfortable and demonstrate how dangerous he is; and
• Introduced Ms. Ventura to a lifestyle of excessive alcohol and substance abuse and required her to procure illicit prescriptions to satisfy his own addictions.

Yeah I'm not surprised at these allegations at all, he's been a known creep in the industry forever. Usher was trending yesterday, and those rumors of teenaged Usher being recruited by Diddy for his sexual pleasure back in the day are well known.
My only question is, why Cassie continued to see him for such a very long time. The article says she did not fully separate from Bad Boy until 2019, and the first incident they mentioned was in 2009. So that's least 10 years she was dealing with this; and apparently she was dating other men as well. I'm not doubting anything she said, but good lord, after the first 5 years I'd be ready to go to jail for offing him in self defense.

I think like Will Smith, most people accept the DL stuff as common knowledge. Any real backlash they face, especially from the black community, is because of their violence and aggression. They are perpetuating the stereotype, despite being rich and successful. That really pisses black people off.
