Diddy Sued by Multiple Women
Diddy is dealing with damage control after he was sued by multiple women for sexual assault. The first suit came when Diddy's former longtime girlfriend Cassie filed a lawsuit on Nov. 16, accusing Puff of sexual and physical abuse. The lawsuit was settled the next day, with Diddy's attorney stating the settlement is not an admission of guilt. Since being sued by Cassie, two more women have come forward accusing the Bad Boy Entertainment founder of sexual misconduct. The lawsuits have been filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act, a statute that allows individuals who have allegedly experienced sexual abuse to file civil lawsuits even after the statute of limitations has passed.
