As Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces charges of sex-trafficking in Manhattan federal court, his relationship with the singer Cassie is at the center of the horrific allegations.
The music mogul's staggering downfall began when Cassie, real name Cassandra Ventura, filed a bombshell lawsuit in 2023 detailing terrifying claims of sexual abuse and violence.
The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount just a day after it was filed, but it was too late for Diddy's reputation, and the rapper was then hit with dozens of lawsuits including similar claims.
Diddy was then charged last year with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution in New York. He has pleaded not guilty.
