Allegations against Combs started on Nov. 16, 2023 when Cassie Ventura filed a suit alleging Combs raped her in 2018 within a year-long abusive relationship, including physical abuse and Combs controlling her personal and professional life, reports Forbes News. Ventura’s suit was settled for $30 million, reports Forbes news.

On December 6, 2023, Combs received another sexual assault suit accusing Combs of drugging and participating in gang rape of an unnamed woman in 2003, when the accuser was only aged 17, reports Forbes news.
On February 26, producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones sued Combs for forcing him to engage in relations with sex workers Combs hired, with Combs regularly hosting sex trafficking parties with underage women and illegal drugs, reports Forbes news. Since then, two more lawsuits have been filed and on May 29, federal investigators attempted to bring Combs’s accusers to testify before a grand jury.

On Sept. 16, Combs was arrested in Manhattan after being indicted by grand jury with unsealed charges against him, reports Forbes news. The charges include racketeering, sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, threatening and coercing women to fulfill sexual desires whilst maintaining his reputation, reports Forbes news.
The latest lawsuit filed against Combs was on September 24 by Thalia Graves that he had drugged her drink and was then raped by two men, whilst her hands were tied behind her back, reports Forbes news. Prosecution for the transportation to engage in prostitution relates to a federal law dating back to 1910, known today as the Mann Act, also known as the White Slave Traffic Act, reports MSNBC news.
Combs’ children have spoken out about rumors about their mother Kim Porter, the subject of a book that is claimed to be written by the model before she died in 2018, reports The Guardian. Christian, age 26, and Jesse and D’Lila, 17-year-old twins, alongside Quincy Brown, Porter’s son from another marriage whom Combs helped to raise, dismissed rumors circulating about their parents, reported The Guardian. The memoir “Kim’s Last Words: A Journey For Justice From The Other Side” was published a few days before Combs was arrested. Edward Helmore in New York, reported for The Guardian that the book is taken from Porter’s diaries on a flash drive, given to friends before her death, unpublished, under Porter’s name, reports The Guardian. The memoir currently stands at number three on Amazon’s literature and fiction sales charts with the children seeking legal advice about the memoir detailing alleged disturbing and graphic sexual encounters between Combs and other celebrities, reports The Guardian. Combs’s attorneys have said the book is fake and offensive, a source close to the family told People Magazine. The author Chris Todd has no connections to Kim Porter or her family, reports The Guardian.
