Jane Doe’s attorney, Wigdor, is also a lawyer forCasandra Ventura, known professionally as Cassie. On Nov. 16, the “Me & U” singer fileda bombshell lawsuitagainst former boyfriendSean “Diddy” Combs, alleging that the Bad Boy founder raped and sex trafficked her over the course of an abusive 10 years.
Ventura also alleged that Combs would force her to engage with sex workers for what he called “freak offs,” or “FOs,” and that the encounters “always” included ecstasy, cocaine, GHB, ketamine, marijuana and alcohol.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Combs’ lawyer Ben Brafman denied the allegations, which he called “offensive and outrageous.”
“Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations. Ms. Ventura’s demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail,” Brafman said. “Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs' reputation, and seeking a pay day.”
The following day,the lawsuit was “amicably” settled.
