Allegations and Response

  • Ventura’s Claims: Ventura accused Combs of subjecting her to years of abuse, including controlling behavior, physical violence, and sexual trafficking.

These incidents were reportedly witnessed by employees of Combs’s company, Bad Boy Entertainment​.
  • Combs’s Denial: Combs, through his attorney, vehemently denied these allegations. His lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, argued that Ventura’s demands for $30 million amounted to extortion and described her lawsuit as filled with “baseless and outrageous lies”​.

  • Statements from Both Parties: Ventura expressed her decision to resolve the matter amicably on terms that she had some level of control over, thanking her family, fans, and lawyers. Combs also issued a statement wishing Ventura and her family all the best​.

Additional Allegation

  • Incident Involving Kid Cudi: Ventura also alleged an incident in 2012, during her relationship with Combs, where he threatened to harm rapper Kid Cudi. According to the lawsuit, Combs threatened to blow up Cudi’s car, which later allegedly exploded in his driveway​.
