Dawn Richard Accuses Sean “Diddy” Combs of Abuse and Intimidation in Lawsuit
Latest posts from Dawn Richard
Dawn Richard, formerly a member of two musical groups formed by Sean “Diddy” Combs, has expressed deep fear of the music mogul, according to her attorney, Lisa Bloom. Richard filed a lawsuit against Combs in September, accusing him of sexual abuse. She also alleges she witnessed him physically assault his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Currently, Combs is detained in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, facing charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution. His legal team recently made a third request for his release on bail, with a decision expected next week.
In an interview with the BBC’s Newsnight on November 21, Bloom detailed Richard’s claims, including allegations that Combs groped and sexually assaulted her, withheld promised payments, and subjected her to harsh treatment such as depriving her of food and sleep. Richard also reportedly witnessed what Bloom described as “severe acts of violence” by Combs toward Ventura and other women.
Combs has denied the allegations, with his attorney, Erica Wolff, stating the lawsuit is based on “manufactured claims” aimed at securing financial gain. Wolff expressed Combs’ “shock and disappointment” over the accusations.
Bloom further alleged that Richard was threatened with physical violence when she attempted to confront Combs. She described the environment as violent and tumultuous, driven by what she characterized as Combs’ “vicious temper.”
Bloom also revealed she is representing another individual with claims against Combs related to his alleged “freak-off” parties, where sex workers were reportedly coerced into participating in sexual acts. She stated that other allegations include accounts of individuals being drugged and pressured into sexual activity to secure business deals with Combs.
Richard rose to fame as a member of Danity Kane, a girl group created on MTV’s Making the Band in 2005. She later joined Combs and Kalenna Harper to form Diddy Dirty Money in 2010, a group that disbanded two years later. Combs has also denied accusations of witness tampering involving Harper, with Wolff describing differing accounts of events as “divergent recollections.”
