2011: Kid Cudi dated Cassie during her relationship with Diddy.
In 2023, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of rape, physical abuse, and controlling her throughout their relationship, which lasted from 2006 to 2018.
Diddy denied the allegations in the lawsuit.
The suit was settled a day later, but Cassie repeated many of the allegations during her testimony in the first week of Diddy’s trial.
In the filing seen by Business Insider, Cassie said she dated Kid Cudi in 2011 during a “rough patch” in her relationship with Diddy.
Cassie said Diddy looked through the her phone and emails during a “freak off” and became “enraged” after finding messages between her and Kid Cudi. Cassie said he lunged at her with a corkscrew between her fingers, and she fled to Kid Cudi’s home.
She said that when she returned to reconcile with Diddy he hit her several times and kicked her in the back as she tried to run out the door.
Cassie said she later went to her parents’ home in Connecticut where her mother took pictures of the bruises.
Cassie also testified that Diddy threatened to hurt her and Kid Cudi.
On Tuesday, Regina Ventura, Cassie’s mother, testified that her daughter texted her in 2011 that Diddy had threatened to release porn featuring Cassie and physically harm her because of the fling with Kid Cudi.
Regina Ventura also testified that she had to borrow against their home to pay for $20,000 Diddy demanded for Cassie’s unpaid “expenses.”
“He was going to need $20,000 to recoup money that he had spent on her because he was angry that she had a relationship with Scott Mescudi,” Ventura said, adding that she paid because she was worried about her daughter.
Regina Ventura said the money was sent to Bad Boy Records, the record label Diddy founded, but the company returned it four or five days later without any explanation.
