It appears Cassie is caught in the crosshairs of a new lawsuit, and the singer is being accused of actively avoiding legal documents related to the case. The lawsuit, filed by a male sex worker named Clayton Howard, centers on allegations of coerced sexual encounters and the transmission of an STD, reportedly linked to Diddy’s alleged parties.
Accusations of Evasion
Howard claims that Cassie is going to extreme lengths to dodge being formally served with the lawsuit’s papers. He alleges that he was coerced into participating in degrading sexual acts, and that Cassie directed these encounters. Furthermore, he claims Cassie knowingly transmitted chlamydia to him.
According to a recent filing obtained by AllHipHop, Howard’s legal team asserts that Cassie’s attorney, Douglas Wigdor, has refused to accept service on her behalf, despite having made public statements for her. Howard’s team has reportedly hired private investigators and multiple process servers, scouring DMV records, property databases, and various addresses in Connecticut without success in locating Cassie.
Cassie’s Past Testimony and Diddy’s Sentencing
This situation arises in the wake of Cassie’s own testimony against Diddy during his recent criminal trial. She previously accused him of subjecting her to a “cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking.” Cassie had settled her own civil lawsuit against Diddy in 2023. Diddy was later sentenced to over four years in prison for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, though he was acquitted of more serious charges.
Howard has detailed his allegations, stating he felt like a victim because he would not have engaged in unprotected sex if he had known Cassie was allegedly sleeping with multiple partners without protection. He emphasized his own history of maintaining his sexual health.
I would have never had unprotected sex with this girl if I realized that she was sleeping with half of the Lakers unprotected. I wouldn’t have did that. I’m not that type of guy. — Clayton Howard
With Cassie’s legal team reportedly refusing service and Howard’s team intensifying their search, this lawsuit adds another layer to the ongoing legal scrutiny surrounding Diddy and his associates.
