Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing a new lawsuit from a woman who alleges sexual abuse by the hip-hop mogul. She also claims to have witnessed him allegedly assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, according to recent reports.
Singer Dawn Richard, who appeared on Combs’ 2004 MTV show “Making The Band,” has accused the music mogul of forcibly entering her dressing room and groping her, including her breasts and butt, according to TMZ.
In another troubling allegation, Richard claimed that Combs summoned her to his Miami home and greeted her wearing only underwear. According to the lawsuit, when Richard requested Combs to put on clothes, he reportedly refused and shouted, “This is my f–king house!”
In addition to the alleged sexual misconduct, Richard accused Combs of being abusive, claiming he once made her rehearse for 48 hours straight without any sleep.
The Grammy winner also claimed in the lawsuit that Combs once locked her in a car for two hours while she screamed for help. Richard’s father had to travel from Baltimore to New York to rescue her, confronting Combs and threatening to involve the police. Combs allegedly warned Richard’s father to consider his daughter’s career if he called the cops.
The lawsuit also references the abuse Combs reportedly inflicted on Cassie Ventura, for which he publicly apologized in 2016 after footage of the incident emerged earlier this year. According to Richard, she witnessed Combs’s “predatory” behavior when he first met Ventura in 2006.
By 2009, Richard alleges she witnessed Combs, high on drugs, violently assault Ventura, including slamming her against a wall and dragging her up stairs. The lawsuit also claims Combs threw a pan of hot eggs at Ventura, struck her in the face, and tried to strangle her. Richard and others supporting Ventura reportedly faced threats from Combs, who allegedly shouted at them not to interfere in his relationship.
The lawsuit further alleges that Combs physically assaulted another former girlfriend, Kim Porter, in 2005. Richard claims she saw Porter crying with a bruised face as she fled Combs’ music studio. Combs has not yet responded to these new accusations.
