The lawsuit claimed that Combs introduced Cassie to an extravagant and drug-fueled lifestyle, starting in 2005 when she was 19.
Ventura alleged a pattern of abuse beginning in 2007, describing Combs as prone to uncontrollable rage.
The disturbing details outlined in the lawsuit include accusations of physical abuse, drug coercion, and sexual exploitation.
It alleged that Combs subjected Cassie to savage beatings, forced her into sexual encounters with other men while recording, and, in 2018, raped her.
The dismissal of the lawsuit with prejudice signals the end of legal proceedings on this matter.
The resolution remains shrouded in confidentiality, leaving the public with limited information on the terms of the settlement.
