ON March 25, dozens of armed Homeland Security agents simultaneously raided Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation. Shortly after, singer Aubrey O’Day — who worked closely with Diddy as a member of the girl group Danity Kane — shared a headline of the news on her Instagram Story with a telling caption. “What you sow, you shall reap,” she posted. “I pray this emboldens all of us victims to speak on what we have endured.”
She’s not alone. The federal raid comes on the heels of several civil lawsuits filed against the 54-year-old rap star. In November, Diddy’s exgirlfriend Cassie Ventura sued him for sexual assault, alleging sex trafficking, rape and physical and emotional abuse during their decade-long relationship. Four more lawsuits quickly followed with accusers making similar horrific claims against the Bad Boy Records owner, painting a grim picture of a dangerous and violent man who uses his power and money to silence his prey. (He has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.)
