Former Danity Kane and Dirty Money Artist Dawn Richard Files Lawsuit Against Sean “Diddy” Combs for Verbal, Physical, and Sexual Abuse

Former Danity Kane and Dirty Money artist Dawn Richard has filed a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, accusing him of verbal, physical, and sexual abuse. Diddy and his legal team have denied these claims and plan to fight them in court. In the 55-page document, Richard also alleges that she witnessed Diddy abuse his then-girlfriend, Cassie, and names celebrities Usher, Ne-Yo, and Jimmy Iovine as witnesses who did nothing to stop the abuse.

One incident detailed in the lawsuit took place at a star-studded dinner in Los Angeles before Diddy signed a deal with Interscope Records. Richard claims that Diddy threatened and punched Cassie in the stomach in front of guests, causing her visible pain. Usher and Ne-Yo were reportedly present and witnessed the incident.

Diddy’s attorney, Erica Wolff, responded to the lawsuit, calling the claims false and suggesting that Richard is seeking money in conjunction with her album release. Wolff also pointed out that if Richard had a negative experience with Diddy, she would not have continued working with him for Dirty Money or returned for the Making the Band reboot in 2020.

The lawsuit has brought attention to the alleged abuse and the involvement of other celebrities as witnesses. As the legal battle unfolds, the public will be watching closely to see how the case progresses and whether justice will be served.
