American singer, songwriter, and actress Cassandra Ventura filed a federal lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs on Thursday, alleging the rapper and hip-hop mogul she formerly dated and whose music company she signed with of repeated physical abuse, sexual slavery, and rape. Ventura, who sings under the stage name Cassie, accused Combs of forcing her to engage in sex activities with a succession of male prostitutes he hired while watching and filming the interactions for his pleasure.

Combs is also accused of regularly hitting Ventura throughout a 10-year professional and emotional relationship in which he dominated her through intimidation and by supplying her with drugs and alcohol, according to the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
