Clayton Howard, a former sex worker, has filed a civil lawsuit in which he includes Cassie Ventura as a defendant. Howard claims to have had paid sexual encounters with Ventura during her relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs.

This lawsuit follows Combs' federal trial, in which Cassie served as the star witness. Combs faced charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and violations of the Mann Act.

In October, the music mogul was found guilty of two counts of transportation for the purpose of engaging in prostitution and was sentenced to 50 months in prison. This came after he reportedly settled a lawsuit with Cassie for $20 million.

Clayton's lawsuit includes several allegations, claiming that he faced humiliation during Combs' trial and that Cassie transmitted an STD to him during their relationship. The suit also states that Cassie was once pregnant with Clayton's child but ultimately had an abortion.

Clayton has given interviews to The Art of Dialogue, Vlad TV, and appeared in 50 Cent's Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, where he discussed his sexual experiences with the singer during what he referred to as "freak-offs."

Clayton claims that his relationship with Cassie and Combs began when she sought his services while he was working as an escort for a covert sex agency.

While speaking with The Art of Dialogue, the New Yorker revealed that for nearly a decade, the couple paid him generously to engage in alcohol and drug-fueled sexual encounters with the "Me & U" singer at various locations, both locally and out of town. These encounters typically lasted several days. Although Howard clarified that he and Combs never had any sexual relations, he noted that Diddy often observed, provided instructions, and even filmed their sexual activities.

During the interview, Howard stated that although he witnessed Combs physically abuse his then-girlfriend, he believes Ventura was never forced to have sex with him. He declared, “She’s 100 percent a co-conspirator. She was not a victim of this.”

Howard explained that Ventura had a healthy sexual appetite and even encouraged him to consent to being recorded during their intimate encounters. He claimed Ventura assured him that the videos were intended solely for her sexual pleasure.

The videos in question later became evidence in the music mogul’s prosecution, as noted by Howard. He claimed that his testimony was used to unfairly implicate Diddy. Howard explained that while Cassie was a victim of domestic violence, this was often the result of Diddy’s ongoing struggles with drug and alcohol abuse. “He never beat Cassie because she didn't want to have sex. She made herself look like the victim, and now she's getting exposed because people like me and all the escorts are saying Cassie was involved, Cassie liked it.”

In a follow-up interview with TAOD, Howard stated, "Bro, this would have never worked if Cassie wasn't complicit. Cassie had to be in the mood to do this." Howard contended that the other male escorts who participated in "freak-offs" with the couple were wrong if they didn't speak up and tell the truth about what happened during their encounters with Cassie. He continued, "Because Cassie was never afraid in those rooms. Diddy was always conscious of Cassie's energy in the room. He would constantly ask her, babe are you ok?...He was a protector."

Howard reported that he and other sex workers attempted to inform the U.S. Attorney that Ventura was complicit in everything that occurred, but “they didn’t want to listen to us.” He also stated that federal prosecutors prevented him from testifying about Ventura’s alleged involvement in Combs' sex crimes, which he believes violated his rights under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. Howard claimed that U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey ignored his efforts to testify. Additionally, the former sex worker asserted that Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson dismissed his assertion that he qualified as a victim, according to Black Enterprise.

The New Yorker reports that Attorney Tyrone Blackburn allegedly encouraged him to make false accusations against Diddy. Blackburn supposedly urged him to suggest that Diddy sexually assaulted him, in order to portray Combs as a sexual deviant and depict Cassie as an unwilling participant.

He explained to TAOD, "As I was sitting through the prosecution, I kinda realized how much people were lying on him…it’s gonna sound crazy, but I feel bad for him. Yes, Diddy's guilty, but Diddy should not go to jail for things he's not completely guilty of, while these women get to go free and pretend to be victims. That is wrong!"

In the interview, he revealed that Homeland Security had questioned him in connection with Combs’ recent criminal trial. While he believes that Diddy is guilty of many things, Howard described the situation as a "massive conspiracy" against the mogul.

The former escort explained his decision to move forward with a lawsuit, stating, “I have remained patient and resolved. It appears the government utilized my cooperation when it aligned with their objectives, yet now, it feels as if I am invisible." Howard's lawsuit also highlights that the "unresolved status" of his claims has hindered his application to the Backpage Remission Program, a fund that awards up to $200 million to trafficking victims. He told TAOD, "There's no justice in the American legal system. If a criminal defendant can lie to prosecutors, and make prosecutors think that their actual criminality is victimhood, that's imposed on them by someone else, and dozens of other people can confirm the fact that these people were involved...I believe this Diddy trial was the biggest slap in the face to the 'Me Too Movement,' and actual victims that we'll ever see. This was a joke!"

Previously, Ventura could not be served with the lawsuit at her home with her husband, Alex Fine, or through her attorney. As a result, a judge reportedly allowed Howard to use “alternative means” of service.

In December, Cassie reportedly hired attorney Melodie Han from the law firm Wigdor LLP.
