Podcaster exits Diddy’s Revolt TV in wake of allegations, settlement
Sean Combs was accused of rape, more by ex-partner.
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Revolt TV just lost a pod- caster in the wake of singer Cassie’s lawsuit alleging sex- ual assault by the mogul, which they settled Nov. 17.
Dawn Montgomery on Monday announced on X (formerly Twitter) that she had resigned from her role with the media company.
“I won’t be signing on to do the (third) season of @ revolttv’s ‘Monuments To Me’ podcast,” Montgomery wrote. “I am a SA survivor (and) I cannot be a part of a show that’s supposed to uplift black women while (Diddy) leads the company,” she wrote, adding, “Believe Black women.”
Combs was accused of rape, sexual assault, physi- cal assault and sex traffick- ing in a lawsuit filed Nov. 16 by singer and former partner Cassie. Through his attorney, Combs denied the allegations. Cassie, who sued under her legal name, Casandra Ventura, dated the famed hip-hop mogul for about 11 years before they split in 2018. She filed her lawsuit against Combs in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Akilah!,” Montgomery con
