LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Federal investigators have been talking to Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie as the sexual harassment and trafficking probe continues against the music mogul.
Sources told to TMZ that Cassie, who filed a lawsuit accusing Combs of rape and abuse in November 2023, is one of the many witnesses who are cooperating with authorities in the case.
She might have been talking to them for several weeks, presumably predating the raids on Diddy's Los Angeles and Miami homes.
Cassie and Sean 'Diddy' Combs reached a settlement one day after she filed the lawsuit
Cassie was the first of the many women to speak out against Diddy. In November 2023 lawsuit, she claimed that the rapper raped her, forced her to take drugs, and coerced her to have sex with sex workers while he recorded.
Cassie also alleged that Diddy was physically assaulted during their 10-year relationship.
At the time, Cassie told Page Six, "After years in silence and darkness. I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships."
On the other hand, Diddy vehemently denied all wrongdoings.
A day after she filed the lawsuit, the former couple soon reached a settlement, the terms of which weren't disclosed publicly.
Since then, others have come forward with similar accusations against Diddy, including his former producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones.
After the recent raids at the rapper's residences, Combs' attorney Aaron Dyer stated, "This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits," according to Page Six.

A netizen said, "Cassie is a HERO - she will lead the way for so many and provide relief and clarity for so many who struggle with the abuse they've face from him and from people like him."
Another expressed, "I just pray that Cassie don’t end up like Kim Porter and the MANY others that had DIRT on Diddy."
"Cassie ain't no fool..... She knows that Diddy is going down, so she is vomiting it all out and the Feds are literally covered in grease," remarked a person. Someone simply wrote, "Diddy dumb dumb!!"
One on X (formerly Twitter) stated, "So she took the bread and snitched ? Crazy." An individual shared, "She shouldn’t be able to testify or cooperate if she got paid. That’s bogus💀."
"Surviving Diddy doc series coming," said another person, while one more wondered, "Damn I wonder if she signed a nda about other stuff she better be careful."
