A former member of girl group Danity Kane , Dawn Richard , has become the latest in a long line of women to accuse producer and business mogul Sean"Diddy" Combs of abuse and sexual misconduct in a lawsuit filed this week that also claims she witnessed the assault of Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura .
The new lawsuit also claims that Richard was never paid for her work on Danity Kane’s first two albums, her work on"Last Train to Paris," an album by Combs, Richard and Kaleena Harper, or Combs' use of a song she helped write for his 2023 release “The Love Album: Off the Grid.” Richard is asking for an unspecified amount of damages, including compensation for mental pain and anguish and lost wages, earning, royalties, publishing, touring and promotional income.
Neither Combs nor his team have commented on the lawsuit brought by Richard, but have repeatedly denied similar allegations against him.

“For nearly a decade, Mr. Combs manipulated Ms. Richard with mantras that submission to his depraved demands was necessary for career advancement, instilling in her the belief that such abuse and exploitation were required for female artists to succeed in the music industry,” Richard’s complaint reads.Richard met Combs on the set of the MTV reality series he produced called “Making The Band” in 2004 and became a member of the R&B group Danity Kane.
