Dawn Richard, a former member of two groups formed by Sean “Diddy” Combs, has come forward with disturbing allegations against the rapper.
She filed a lawsuit in September, accusing Mr. Combs of threatening her life and subjecting her to years of inhumane working conditions, including groping, assault, and false imprisonment.
Ms. Richard, who was a member of Danity Kane and Diddy – Dirty Money, is just one of over two dozen individuals who have filed lawsuits against Mr. Combs. In addition to these civil suits, he is also facing criminal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
Despite these allegations, Mr. Combs denies all charges, with his lawyer dismissing Ms. Richard’s claims as “manufactured” and “false”.
However, Ms. Richard’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, has shed light on the alleged abuse, claiming that Mr. Combs not only sexually assaulted her client but also created a toxic environment that prevented her from basic necessities like eating and sleeping.
Furthermore, Ms. Bloom revealed that Ms. Richard witnessed violent acts perpetrated by Mr. Combs against his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and other women.
When she tried to intervene and help Ms. Ventura, Mr. Combs allegedly threatened Ms. Richard’s life, warning her of dire consequences if she spoke out.
In a shocking turn of events, footage emerged of Mr. Combs physically attacking Ms. Ventura in a hotel corridor in 2016. Ms. Richard’s lawsuit detailed how she tried to protect Ms. Ventura but was met with threats and violence from Mr. Combs each time.
In response to these allegations, Mr. Combs’ lawyer, Erica Wolff, expressed disappointment in Ms. Richard’s claims, labeling them as a ploy for financial gain.
She maintained Mr. Combs’ innocence, asserting that he is standing on the truth and is prepared to defend himself in court.
The situation took a darker turn when Ms. Bloom hinted at witness tampering by Mr. Combs. She mentioned another client who is preparing to come forward with allegations related to parties hosted by Mr. Combs, known as “freak-offs”.
These events allegedly involved drugging and coercing individuals into sexual activities to secure business deals with Mr. Combs.
As Mr. Combs faces another court appearance to request bail in his criminal case, the gravity of the allegations against him continues to escalate. Prosecutors have accused him of violating prison rules by contacting potential witnesses through third parties, further complicating his legal woes.
