Singer Dawn Richard reportedly filed a lawsuit against Diddy claiming the music mogul threatened her life, terrorized her and sexually abused her.

Richard, a former participant on Diddy’s 2004 MTV show, “Making the Band,” said the Bad Boy CEO manipulated her by promising to advance her singing career if she adhered to his demands, according to TMZ. The court documents claimed she witnessed Diddy savagely beating his former girlfriend, Cassie, and saw his late girlfriend Kim Porter’s face banged up. The lawsuit alleged that when Richard attempted to speak up and assist the women, Diddy made threats suggesting her life would be in danger if she didn’t keep quiet, according to TMZ.

Richard was a former member of the musical group Danity Kane, and said that while she was on-set, Diddy routinely belittled female contestants and approached her with obvious disdain.

She said she saw Porter exit a music studio while crying in 2005, and noted she had visible injuries to her face, according to TMZ.

Richard said that in 2009, she personally witnessed Diddy abuse Cassie by throwing her against a wall, choking her, and dragging her up the stairs of his Los Angeles home while he was high on drugs, according to TMZ. She noted other instances of abuse against Cassie in the recently filed legal documents, and noted that on one occasion, Diddy launched a scalding pan of eggs at her while yelling, “I’ve been asking you for my shit; I can’t stand you bitch, you never do it right!”

She claimed she saw Diddy hit Cassie in the face and put his hands on her throat, at which time she and her bandmate Kalenna Harper attempted to intervene. They advised Cassie to leave Diddy and escape the violence, Diddy found out about the conversation and responded by threatening them.

Richard alleged Diddy shouted “Y’all bitches don’t get in my relationship,”  then said, “don’t tell my bitch [Cassie] what she need to be doing … Just make money and shut the fuck up … I end artists … I shelve careers … You could be missing … You bitches want to die today,” according to TMZ.

The legal documents alleged Diddy forced Richard to rehearse for 48 hours at a time, without any sleep. She claimed she lost weight and become dehydrated, fatigued, and covered in a rash, according to TMZ.

Richard claimed the abuse worsened between 2009 and 2011. She alleged Diddy locked her in a car with heavily tinted windows for roughly two hours while she screamed for help, according to TMZ.

She claimed Diddy threatened her career when her father attempted to free her from the abusive environment.

This is just one of several lawsuits the disgraced music mogul is facing at this time.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
