Diddy is continuing to keep a low profile as he gears up to battle through these new sexual assault lawsuits. In his latest move, he has reportedly decided to step aside as chairman of his network, Revolt.
Sources told TMZ, that although it’s a difficult decision this is only temporary. The insider adds that the business mogul made this move last week in an effort to protect the company. He doesn’t want the accusations he’s facing to distract from Revolt’s mission or success.
The move is definitely understandable as Revolt is preparing to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The sources add that they plan to do so under the leadership of CEO Detavio Samuels and Chief Brand Officer Deon Graham.
More On What’s Going On With Diddy:
Earlier this month, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend filed a shocking lawsuit where she accused him of rape, abuse, and sex trafficking.
The lawsuit alleged that Mr. Combs “raped Ms. Ventura in her own home after she tried to leave him; often punched, beat, kicked and stomped on Ms. Ventura, resulting in bruises, burst lips, black eye and bleeding; blew up a man’s car after he learned that he was romantically interested in Ms. Ventura; forced Ms. Ventura to engage in sex acts with male sex workers while masturbating and filming the encounters; ran out of his apartment with a firearm in pursuit of a rival industry executive whom he learned was nearby; demanded that Ms. Ventura carry his firearm in her purse just to make her uncomfortable and demonstrate how dangerous he is; and introduced Ms. Ventura to a lifestyle of excessive alcohol and substance abuse and required her to procure illicit prescriptions to satisfy his own addictions.”
Just 24 hours after the filing, Diddy and Cassie settled the case. They announced the update in separate statements:
Casandra said, “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control. I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support.” Diddy, in his own statement, said “We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.”
While it appeared that he was out of the woods, the business mogul was hit with more lawsuits.
Just a week after settling a rape lawsuit brought against him by his ex-girlfriend, the rap star was hit with two more lawsuits by two other women over separate alleged incidents of sexual misconduct. Through his spokesperson, Diddy, 54, has denied wrongdoing in all three cases.
Diddy has yet to personally speak out about these big accusations.
