One day after shocking allegations by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ ex-girlfriend, ‘Cassie,’ of rape and years of abuse, the two have settled the lawsuit she filed against the rapper.

On Friday evening, Diddy and Cassie resolved the claims “to their mutual satisfaction,” according to a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.

Cassie, legally known as Casandra Ventura, alleged she endured “over a decade” of Diddy’s “violent behavior and disturbed demands” in a lawsuit filed Thursday in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

“After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships,” she told Fox News Digital in a statement. “With the expiration of New York’s Adult Survivors Act fast approaching, it became clear that this was an opportunity to speak up about the trauma I have experienced and that I will be recovering from for the rest of my life.”
