Grammy-winning songwriter Tiffany Red says sexual abuse claims made by Cassie against Sean “Diddy” Combs are real.
Tiffany Red is backing up the allegations that her friend Cassie made last month in a lawsuit accusing Diddy of rape, sex trafficking, and physical abuse.
The lyricist has come forward to publicly corroborate Cassie’s story about her ordeal while in a relationship with Diddy.
“I’m breaking my silence, freeing myself from haunting recollections, standing in solidarity with Cassie, and standing up for myself.
“I fear for my safety as her suit alludes to me, although not by name. I hope that revealing my identity to the public will afford me some measure of protection,” she wrote in the open letter to Combs published in Rolling Stone on Thursday.
Tiffany Red, credited as a writer for Jennifer Hudson’s self-titled 2008 album, which won a Grammy for Best R&B Album, said she is “traumatized” by the music mogul.
The 36-year-old songwriter recounted an incident that scared her deeply. She claimed she witnessed a heated confrontation between Cassie and Diddy at a karaoke spot on Cassie’s 29th birthday in 2015.
“When I walked out of the room, you had her backed into a corner in the hallway outside of the door, and your security surrounded you two as you cursed her out with your hands in her face.
“She and I briefly made eye contact. I felt helpless. She looked afraid and kept looking down at the floor. I didn’t know what to do. I was scared,” the R&B songwriter alleged.
Red continued to speak about other events, and she said she “continues to work through the PTSD, paranoia, and anxiety from these events.”
As previously reported, last month, Cassie sued Diddy for sex trafficking and abuse throughout their over 10-year relationship.
In the court documents, the “Me & U” singer detailed accounts of “violent behavior” and “disturbing sexual demands” from 54-year-old Diddy.
But just after a day of filing the legal documents, Cassie agreed to an out-of-court settlement with the music executive.
