Cassie has addressed Diddy‘s recent troubles with the law in a new statement released shortly after federal agents raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles.
In a statement issued by her attorney to Good Morning America on Monday (March 26), the “Me & U” (real name Casandra Ventura) singer said that she is hopeful that her former partner will be brought to justice.
“We will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law,” it read. “Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.”
Back in November, she filed a civil lawsuit for millions of dollars claiming that the Bad Boy mogul subjected her to years of abuse.
Per documents obtained by HipHopDX, the 37-year-old accused Diddy of sundry crimes, including rape, sex trafficking and physical abuse. The filing also states that he “forced Ms. Ventura to engage in sex acts with male sex workers while masturbating and filming the encounters.” She also alleged that he forced her to carry a handgun even though she felt uncomfortable doing so. Finally, she claimed that he plied her with drugs and alcohol, triggering a substance abuse problem.
Just one day later, however, the pair settled their lawsuit “amicably” for an undisclosed sum.
“I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,” Cassie shared with the public at the time. “I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support.”
Diddy shared his own statement that read: “We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best.”
In a statement to HipHopDX, the businessman’s attorney addressed the settlement and wrote: “Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing. Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.”
As previously reported, Diddy’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided earlier this week, with at least two helicopters patrolling the airspace above the latter.
A Homeland Security Investigations representative said: “Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available.”
The case is reportedly being handled by the Southern District of New York in relation to the multiple allegations recently brought against Diddy for sexual harassment and misconduct.
Last month, a producer named Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones (who worked on The Love Album: Off the Grid) accused Diddy of sexual harassment as well as drugging and threatening him over the course of a year.
In his lawsuit, Rod alleged that a man named Brendan Paul was Diddy’s “drug mule.”
In late March, Rolling Stone reported that Paul was taken into custody for possession of marijuana and cocaine, which a family member of his confirmed to the outlet.
Puffy controls the jails. Anyone who thinks they can bring him in on some he say she say is dreaming. Any city that tries to hold Puffy without proof will burn to the ground. I want to see who’s going to try this
hahahahahaha….. what the fuck are you on right now?
Lets see it then. Won’t be laughing when your city burns down. Of course they are already in damage control knowing they lost the election. Who’s going to vote in the cities? Who’s going to organize the Biden vote? That was Puffy’s job. You idiots are too stupid to realize how much you fkd up
Sure…. Puffy not only controls the jails but also the urban turnout in a national election… You skipped out on the D.A.R.E. sessions in grade school, didn’t you?
@factualfred You watch way too many movies 😂
you think they can hold Puffy on some R Kelly sht in an election year? Of course if you hear FBI raid you are going to hold your tongue what if they have some serious situation in progress. Now that we see it’s based on these allegations folks already calling bs. Folks already talking about Ye. Folks still feeling sore about Kobe and his helicopter flying into a cliff
take the money then start talking again ouch
Who popularized “Rock The Vote”? Puffy did. Who made it cool to be a Democrat at least on election day? Puffy did. Who organized the black vote for Obama? Sean “puffy” Combs did. It’s not like they raided J prince or Birdman or someone with no real political voice. Just shows Democrats are run by incompetent boobs and can’t be trusted with a lemonade stand
Rock the Vote has been around since 1990. It became popular in 91 when Madonna issued PSA’s naked while wrapped in the American flag. Pretty sure the young black senator had a little something to do with being elected POTUS, and not because Puff Daddy said people should. Also, what happened when Bush Jr and Trump were voted in…. did Puff sit those ones out?
you sound scared already. you were typing out a response knew I was correct and have nothing to say in return. it’s all the puffy loving black idiots you laugh at every day you need to worry about. not all the smart people who see right through his act lol
J. Prince got raided 15 years ago for some bullshit. Where were you?
Maybe Puffy shouldn’t have been out here fucking men up the ass against their will for 30 years. He’s a low life degenerate, and everybody knows it.
where’s the charges? not sure how this equates to Biden getting roasted trying to run against Biggie Smalls this summer. That’s what’s going to happen. Since you’re so smart about history and know all about it. Lots of label guys I can’t stand lots of industry dudes trying to grab ass on the side. not just Puffy
Lots of sexual predators out here, so free Puffy. Great logic dumbass. Go kill yourself like your idol needs to.
you first clown. you’re a keyboard jockey knows nothing about the real. Just pretending to be some big player. it’s not that hard to just come up with charges. They charged Young Thug – oh I forgot there was actual crimes involved not just big talk of the boogey man
Trump is going to campaign on one topic in the cities. The real racist is Joe Biden. Joe Biden’s always been a racist and Joe Biden has always been the one democrat who appeals to racist whites. No one’s going to stop it either because it’s Trump. Trump is going to be playing Hypnotize at rallies by September. Going to be a full landslide.
I let Puff Puff F me in the A for 10 years when he was paying my Nextel bill
Whoever this guy named factual Fred is dickhead. He seriously does not believe a thing he posted. He’s screaming for attention. Please don’t respond to him anymore y’all
