Sean Combs Faces Mounting Allegations as Companies Flee and Lawsuits Pile Up

Eighteen brands have cut ties with Sean Combs' e-commerce platform, Empower Global, following allegations of sexual assault and physical violence made by R&B singer Cassie Ventura and three other women. The brands cited their commitment to victims' rights and their belief in the importance of respect for all individuals as reasons for ending their relationships with Combs. Some brands also mentioned the platform's lackluster performance as a factor in their decision. Despite the exodus, some brands are monitoring the situation before making a final decision, while others have defended Combs and plan to continue their partnerships.
