Diddy Accused Of Dangling Cassie’s Friend Over Hotel Balcony

Diddy list of crimes seemingly grows every week. The Bad Boy founder already has accusations totaling in the triple digits, but he was subjected to another one on November 29. A friend of Diddy’s ex, Cassie, has accused the mogul of physically attacking her on September 26, 2016. She claims that the Bad Boy founder shoved her around a hotel room. From there, she claims Diddy groped, insulted, and threatened her with violence if she dared to resist. The cherry on top? He allegedly called himself the “Devil” while doing so.

Cassie’s friend, Bryana “Bana” Bonglan, previously worked for Diddy. She designed clothes for the mogul prior to the alleged incident. The lawsuit filed by Bonglan’s lawyer claims that Diddy forced himself upon her while the two were in a hotel room. There was physical abuse in the hotel room, but the worst part of the incident seemingly occurred on the balcony. Bonglan alleges that Diddy dangled her over the 17 floor balcony in an effort to instill fear in her. “He forcibly groped her breasts, dangled her from a balcony and battered her,” the suit read. “She reasonably believed that Mr. Combs’ assault was him making good on his threats.”

Bana Bonglan Claimed Diddy Threatened Her Life

Bonglan claimed that the incident marked the end of several months of harassment. The lawsuit claimed that the balcony assault was a “culmination of a series of threats, intimidation and violence that colored many of Ms. Bongolan’s interactions. The suit also described Diddy’s treatment of the alleged victim as “outrageous and abhorrent conduct” that violated her “fundamental dignity, bodily autonomy, and sense of safety.” Deadline reported that Bonglan is seeking $10 million in damages. She also provided photos of her and Diddy, as well as Cassie, in her lawsuit.

Diddy’s attorney’s responded quickly. They dismissed Bonglan’s allegations outright. They also claimed she has been trying to profit from her associate with the mogul for over a year. “Ms. Bangolan (sic) has expressed an intention to sue Mr. Combs and has sought legal representation to pursue her claims,” the statement read. “Mr. Sean Combs firmly denies these serious allegations and remains confident they will ultimately be proven baseless.” Once again, time will tell whether Bonglan’s claims prove to be true.
