This is concerning AF!
In Rolling Stone‘s explosive new exposé on Sean “Diddy” Combs out on Tuesday, a former Bad Boy intern claimed the embattled rapper used to hire people to stalk his exes to convince them to come back to him! This allegedly happened when Puff Daddy and Jennifer Lopez called things off after dating from 1999 to 2001.
Per the outlet, Damien Vasquez alleged Diddy “had staffers camp outside MTV’s TRL studios with signs to win her back” after they “broke up.” Jeez! He didn’t even show up himself — he sent other people to hunt her down?! That’s so f**ked up!

The same thing happened with Cassie Ventura, the report stated:
“Ventura claimed that every time she hid, Combs’ network of operatives found her and implored her to return, including a Bad Boy executive who threatened to withhold the release of her music if she didn’t return Combs’ calls.”
Awful! A source familiar with the couple’s relationship also told the outlet that the Sean John founder would try to act like “a heartbroken, hurt man” after Cassie left him — but that he was really “a liar [and] abuser.”
Former Bad Boy president Kirk Burrowes tried to contextualize the behavior. He explained how the rapper’s past (especially the murder of his father) caused him to struggle with loss:
“Abandonment and the act of leaving can bring about vicious results. And the women catch it the worst.”
“Vicious results”?? Yeesh.
While J.Lo has not addressed her ex-boyfriend’s latest legal trouble, many have wondered if she may have endured some amount of abuse in the relationship. She once recalled being “thrown around and manhandled” in a past abusive relationship (though she did not name her partner). After seeing that video of Diddy and Cassie, it certainly seems plausible. But it doesn’t sound like Ben Affleck‘s estranged wife has any plans to speak on the allegations or clarify any of the speculation.
A source previously told Daily Mail that the duo’s relationship had “its tumultuous ups and downs” but that she was “not going to address the accusations or take time to talk about them because it is not her story to tell.” That last bit sounds promising. We hope she didn’t experience any of the trauma Diddy’s other ex-lovers allegedly did! Even just this stalking allegation, though… that’s bad enough!
Reactions, Perezcious readers?? Let us know (below).
