Diddy's former collaborator John Legend says he was 'horrified' by 'shameful' sexual assault lawsuits against the embattled rapper
John Legend said he was 'horrified' by the many pending sexual assault lawsuits against his former collaborator Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
The singer, 45, responded to the seemingly endless abuse allegations against the embattled rapper, 54, and the potential Grand Jury indictment he may face, calling them all 'shameful.'
He also spoke about his reaction to the reemerged, harrowing video of him beating up his ex-girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, 37, in 2016 hotel surveillance footage and condemned Combs.
In an interview with CNN on Thursday, the All of Me hitmaker said his 'default stance is to believe women' and stood firm in his belief that abuse needs to be 'brought to light' when it occurs.
'I was horrified by the descriptions that I read before the video evidence came out,' he said. 'And absolutely, it's something that needs to be brought to light when it happens.'

The hotel hallway attack was first referenced in a November 2023 lawsuit that Ventura brought against Combs, whom she previously dated off and on from 2007 to 2018.
'It's quite a shame,' Legend said. 'I really just want accountability and hopefully some healing for all of his victims.'
'My default stance is to believe women when they make these accusations and to make sure that we do whatever we can to support women [making them],' he added.
The 12-time Grammy winner also said he hopes 'that they're heard and that any kind of accountability and reparations can be made to make these women whole again.'
He also added that he only wants 'the best' for Ventura and 'for all the other victims that have alleged that [Combs] abused them.'
Legend and Babyface last collaborated with Combs on his 2023 track Kim Porter, which was dedicated to the rapper's late girlfriend and featured on The Love Album: Off the Grid.
Combs welcomed three of his seven children with the model before she passed away from lobar pneumonia at age 47 in 2018.
He has not publicly addressed any of the recent lawsuits, but on May 19, he issued an apology video — which Ventura's attorney lambasted as 'pathetic, desperate and disingenuous' since he previously denied the allegations and suggested his accusers were just looking for a 'payday.'

After the assault video was released, the Me & U singer also broke her silence and urged people to 'open your heart to believe victims the first time.'
In the past year, the music mogul has been named in eight civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, including Ventura's now-settled case.
Ventura settled the lawsuit with Combs just one day after filing late last year, but the remaining cases are still pending.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Combs will also be facing criminal charges as a grand jury has been selected to hear evidence against him in a federal probe.
The United States Department of Justice is gearing up to bring a criminal indictment against him as his accusers have been told they could be brought to testify in New York City.
