Last November, the singer filed a bombshell lawsuit accusing Combs of sexual assault, battery and sex trafficking citing incidents dating back to when they first began working together when she was just 19 years old.
The 35-page lawsuit claims early in their relationship, Combs lured her in with ecstasy then continued to provide her a “copious amount” of drugs. Ventura claimed she was savagely beaten, enduring a variety of kicks and punches leaving her bruised and bloodied. To cover up her wounds, Combs would hide her in a hotel for days to allow her bruises to heal on their own, the suit says. Combs also was accused of forcing Ventura to perform in his “Freak Offs” by hiring a male sex worker to perform acts with her. The suit claims he would make Ventura ingest drugs and perform sexual acts while Combs watched and, oftentimes, recorded.
Combs and Cassie both agreed to settle the case four days after the filing. The federal indictment filed against Combs draws heavily from her accusations. Also, she’s expected to testify against Combs at trial.
