That's it?Sean Combs just walks? If we're to believe the allegations made in civil court by Cassie's former protégéee, Puffy, Diddy, and, of course, Love. We're reminded that other prominent figures have said yes, Sean Combs can be deadly, following his lawyer's statement. New York prosecutors: Are you listening? Cassie, née Casandra Ventura, filed her civil lawsuit on November 16. A financial agreement was reached a day later. If even half of what Ventura claims here is true, there's a good chance that other victims exist. And if there is a faster payout in recent memory, I can't come up with one. This is dark stuff. It recalls the monsters we now know: R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein. Also, remember that all three of them were found guilty. Only Cosby is free on a scientific basis. The Cassie-Puffy origin tale, as told here, seems to be familiar. Ventura was 19, 19, 37, and she was a teen star, and he was a hip-hop mogul. He had signed her to his record label in February 2006 and began to infiltrate every facet of her life.

According to the Philadelphia-based therapist, who charges $200 an hour and is licensed in three states, men who have a fetish for sex with unconscious partners should be able to pay women to get their 'kink out.' The allegations sparked immediate criticism from viewers who wanted to know why the BBC was broadcasting an obvious justification of Bill Cosby's predatory behaviour without question. Rashatwar, who has pronounced the pronouns 'they/they,' says he is an award-winning social worker and a sex therapist who has worked with sexual assault victims as young as 13.
