The last 48 hours have been a media circus due to Cassie filing a jaw-dropping $30 million lawsuit that alleged her former boss and boyfriend, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, sexually and physically assaulted her several times over the course of their decade-long relationship.

Just a day after sending headlines into a whirlwind with the suit and garnering massive support from fans, women’s rights activists, former Bad Boy labelmates, and more, however, the singer-model (born Cassandra Ventura) stunned with the announcement she and Sean settled the legal matter “amicably.”

While the terms of the settlement have not been disclosed, social media went into overdrive with theories that Combs caved into Ventura’s demands or that she was paid hush money to help quickly put out the media fire.

It didn’t take long for ‘Long Way 2 Go’ singer Cassie to settle the bombshell sexual and physical assault lawsuit she filed against her former boyfriend and boss Diddy.

Just like jaws dropped when details from the singer-model’s suit emerged and featured graphic accounts of him allegedly beating, raping, and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes while he watched and filmed it repeatedly over the course of their decade-long romantic relationship, mouths were left ajar when the songstress (born Cassie Ventura) and the music mogul (born Sean Combs) issued respective statements to indicate the would-be legal war was over before it could even begin.

Ventura initially demanded $30 million – a sum Combs’ lawyer, Ben Brafman, first asserted was an extortion attempt.

And while the quick turnaround made some critics side-eye Cassie and agree with Brafman’s assessment, others, like former Danity Kane star Aubrey O’Day, suggest the system at large is to blame.
