Everything Diddy Has Been Dropped From Following Assault Allegations
Some companies appear to be distancing themselves from as the rapper continues to face sexual assault allegations.
In recent months, multiple women have come forward to share allegations of misconduct by the music mogul. One individual who filed a lawsuit was his ex-girlfriend . (The exes dated on and off from 2007 to 2018.)
In her November 2023 suit, the model accused the rapper of rape and repeated physical abuse that lasted nearly a decade. The pair agreed to settle one day later with Diddy’s lawyer pointing out that the decision “is in no way an admission of wrongdoing.”
Nearly six months later, CNN released video footage from 2016 that showed Diddy kicking and grabbing Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel. The musician took “full responsibility” for what was shown in the video saying he was “disgusted” by his behavior.

While Cassie (real name Cassandra Ventura) has since married Alex Fine and become a mother, her relationship with Diddy hasn’t stopped making headlines. The New York Times reported in November 2023 […]“It’s difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you gotta do that,” he said without naming Cassie. “I was f—ked up. I mean, I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses.”
In response to the CNN footage, the Los Angeles District Attorney previously said they would be unable to file charges as the conduct “would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted.”
In September 2024, Diddy was arrested in New York and later indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. His attorney Marc Agnifilo later told Us Weekly his client “is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.”
“To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges,” his statement read in part. “Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
