Sean "Diddy" Combs, who co-founded the music-focused television network Revolt in 2013, has temporarily resigned from his position as chairman.
Variety reports that three lawsuits alleging sexual assault preceded the judgment.
R&B singer Cassie accused Combs of beating and raping her over a ten-year period earlier this month. In the past, Cassie made music for Combs' Bad Boy label. Ventura and Combs settled their lawsuit within twenty-four hours of it being filed.
Joi Dickerson-Neal filed a second lawsuit against Combs last week under the New York Adult Survivors Act. She claimed that Combs had "drugged, sexually assaulted, and abused" her and that the rapper had produced and disseminated "revenge porn." Combs' businesses Combs Enterprises and Bad Boy Entertainment are also named as defendants in the lawsuit.
Jane Doe filed a second lawsuit against Combs, claiming that between 1990 and 1991, she and her companions were raped by hip-hop mogul and R&B artist Aaron Hall in Hall's apartment. Combs's attorney denounced the case as "fabricated claims."
In 2013, Combs and Andy Schuon launched Revolt, and they also signed a distribution agreement with Comcast Corporation. The network is the source of programs such as "Sneakin' in With Druski," "Love & Respect With Killer Mike," and "Revolt Black News."
