Singer Dawn Richard Accuses Diddy of Sexual Abuse and Claims She Saw Him Beat Cassie in New Lawsuit

On Wednesday (Sep. 11), TMZ reported that Dawn Richard filed suit against Diddy on Sept. 10 in the United States District Court Southern District of New York. XXL has obtained the court documents. She accused him of sexual, physical and verbal abuse. Richard claimed that during her time signed to Bad Boy Records from 2004 to 2011, she was subjected to relentless violence and abuse. Richard first met Puff during her time as a contestant on his MTV reality show Making The Band in 2004, and claimed even during the audition process that Puff was vicious towards female contestants.

The singer said that Puff often called her fellow contestants "fat," "ugly," "bi**hes" and "h*es," and that he particularly hated Richard because of her eagerness to work with the Bad Boy founder.

Richard claims that she was subjected to brutal 48-hour rehearsal stretches with no sleep, which caused her to lose a lot of weight and suffer from dehydration. She also claims that Puff once came into her dressing room while she was naked and fondled her breasts and butt. Additionally, Richard said she once went to Puff's Miami mansion and that he greeted her at the door wearing only underwear. When she asked him to put clothes on he allegedly replied, "This is my f**king house!"
