Former celebrity couple Cassie and Diddy have officially settled their legal dispute, marking the end of a tumultuous chapter in their on-and-off relationship that spanned from 2007 to 2018.

The 54-year-old rapper, whose real name is Sean Paul Combs, was accused by the 37-year-old singer of subjecting her to a “cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking.” However, in a joint statement released on Friday (17.11.23), the former couple declared that they had reached a resolution and expressed mutual satisfaction, putting an end to any further legal proceedings.

Diddy conveyed his sentiments, stating, “We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.” Cassie, in her own statement, expressed gratitude for achieving a resolution that allowed her some level of control over the proceedings. She thanked her family, fans, and legal team for their unwavering support throughout the case. Her attorney, Douglas Wigdor, commended Cassie for her strength in going public with the lawsuit.

“I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control. I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support,” said Cassie.

Wigdor added, “I am very proud of Ms. Ventura for having the strength to go public with her lawsuit. She ought to be commended for doing so.”

The resolution comes a day after Cassie, known for hits like ‘Long Way 2 Go,’ announced her readiness to share her story, aiming to shed light on the challenges faced by women dealing with violence and abuse in their relationships.

“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,” said Cassie in a statement to the New York Times.

Cassie alleged that the abuse began when she was 19, detailing a pattern of control and violence by Combs. She claimed that Combs physically assaulted her and coerced her into engaging with male prostitutes, capturing the acts on film. Additionally, she accused him of forcibly entering her home in 2018 and committing rape.

Combs vehemently denied all allegations through his lawyer, describing the claims as “offensive and outrageous.” The legal resolution signifies the conclusion of a highly publicized and contentious legal battle between the two celebrities.
