Sean Love Combs, also known as Diddy, and his ex-girlfriend, Casandra Elizabeth "Cassie" Ventura, resolved their lawsuit a little over 24 hours since the news of the suit came out, according to multiple sources.

Cassie filed a new lawsuit Thursday against Diddy, claiming he kept her trapped in a cycle of “abuse violence and sex trafficking” during their relationship that lasted over a decade.

The lawsuit claimed Diddy “often punched, beat, kicked and stomped on” Cassie.

In a statement, Brafman said the lawsuit is “riddled with baseless and outrageous lies.”

Cassie was able to bring this lawsuit under the New York Adult Survivors Act, which opened a one-year window for survivors of sexual violence to sue their abusers no matter how long ago the abuse took place.

“They are identifying predators, predators who might again repeat their crimes on other unknowing individuals,” state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal said. Hoylman-Sigal represents the 47th District in the state Senate, covering much of the west side of Manhattan.

During the one-year window, lawsuits have also been filed against former President Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and former Columbia University gynecologist Dr. Robert Hadden.

The window to file new cases under the New York Adult Survivors Act will close on Thursday, Nov. 23, which is also Thanksgiving.

Hoylman-Sigal told NY1 he’s discussing a new window for adult survivors of abuse to file civil claims, saying “statute of limitations really only benefits the perpetrators.”
