Last November, Cassie sued Sean Combs in federal court. Her lawsuit was full of heinous information about Combs’ physical, emotional, sexual and financial abuse, in addition to trafficking. He settled with Cassie within 24 hours, hoping to bury all of it. Instead, Cassie’s lawsuit was the beginning of the end. Combs has now been sued by eight of his victims. In March, agents from the Department of Homeland Security raided Combs’ LA and Miami homes. Just a few weeks ago, CNN aired a 2016 video of Combs assaulting Cassie in a hotel. CNN now reports that federal investigators are prepping a federal grand jury:

Federal investigators are preparing to bring accusers of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs before a federal grand jury, two sources familiar with the probe tell CNN — signaling the US Justice Department is moving toward potentially seeking an indictment of Combs.

Possible witnesses have been notified by investigators that they could be brought in to testify in front of a federal grand jury in New York City, according to one source. Bringing individuals who have filed civil lawsuits against Combs before a grand jury would mark a significant escalation in the government’s ongoing investigation involving the producer and Bad Boy Records founder.

Combs has been named in eight civil lawsuits since November – seven directly accusing him of sexual assault. One of the eight lawsuits, filed by former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, has been settled. Another lawsuit accused his son Christian Combs of sexual assault, and Sean Combs is accused of aiding and abetting. A spokesperson for the Homeland Security Investigations agency (HSI) declined to comment on the existence of a grand jury, but noted the investigation remains ongoing.

Yeah, we all hoped that sh-t was hitting the fan when DHS raided his homes concurrently. These are not issues which should only be handled in civil cases – there are crimes being committed. Speaking of, Rolling Stone has done one of their infamous deep dives into Combs’ long history of abuse, stalking, sexual assault, drug abuse and indiscriminate violence. I could only get so far into the piece without needing a big break, but it’s worth a read – go here for the full piece. Some interesting pieces of news (to me): Combs was violent to women since he was 18/19 at least; he has a voracious sexual appetite; he tried to befriend Tupac but Pac thought he was a “corny executive”; Biggie was trying to extract himself from Combs and Bad Boy in the months before Biggie’s death; Combs had staffers stalk Jennifer Lopez on his behalf after J.Lo left him; Combs stalked and harassed Cassie and Kim Porter every time they left him; Combs literally tried to kill any man who had anything to do with Cassie and Kim. Almost everyone who has ever worked with him in any capacity thinks he’s a f–king monster.
