An Attorney for Cassie Ventura has confirmed that the singer tried to settle her r-pe lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs privately…and only went public once he refused to pay up.
“She came to him before she filed [any] lawsuit and said, ‘I believed I was wronged by you,’” attorney Donte Mills said on Law & Crime’s The Rise and Fall of Diddy. “And she gave him an opportunity to settle the case before she brought [a] lawsuit.”
Mills added, “And I know that both Sean Combs’ attorneys and Cassie’s attorneys were in conversation, in talks, to see if they can resolve the lawsuit, but they were not able to and those settlement negotiations fell through.”
Diddy settled with Cassie within 24 hours of her filing the lawsuit and at the time, many questioned why Diddy did not handle the lawsuit behind closed doors as it led to dozens of lawsuits against him as well as a leaked video of him brutally beating his then-girlfriend at a luxury hotel while she was trying to flee.
The Rise and Fall of Diddy is available later today exclusively on Wondery+
