Cassie, real named Casandra Ventura, in a statement on Thursday, November 16, said she was tr@pped for a decade in a cycle of abuse and violence.
“After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships,” she said.
The suit claims that Combs raped Cassie in her home after she tried to leave him. And it says Combs“forced Ms. Ventura to engage in sex acts with male sex workers while masturbating and filming the encounters.”
