Her lawsuit claimed that Combs brought the singer into his “ostentatious, fast-paced, and drug-fueled lifestyle” not long after she met him and signed her to his label in 2005 when she was just 19 and he was 37.
Ms. Ventura said that the pattern of abuse began as soon as their relationship started. She tried to end it in 2018. But he forced himself into her Los Angeles home and raped her. She also accused him of demanding she carry a firearm to “make her uncomfortable and demonstrate how dangerous he is.” He also forced her into “unwanted sexual encounters with male sex workers.” The lawsuit against Combs was settled a day after she filed it for an undisclosed amount of money.
Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones
The most recent lawsuit was filed against Combs on February 26, 2024, in New York. Producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones was “subjected to unwanted advances by associates of Diddy at his direction.” He was forced to engage in relations with the sex workers Combs had hired.
