In a statement, Cassie said, ” After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships. “

An attorney for Combs, Ben Bradman, Combs’ lawyer denied the allegations in a statement he said,” Mr Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations.”

“For the past 6 months, Mr Combs has been subjected to Ms Ventura’s persistent demand of $ 30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail. Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms Ventura has resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr Comb’s reputation and seeking a payday ” Brafman said in a statement.
