The-Dream, Producer for Beyoncé and Rihanna, Faces Rape and Sex Trafficking Allegations

Terius Gesteelde-Diamant, known as The-Dream, faces a lawsuit from former protege Chanaaz Mangroe, who accuses him of rape and abusive behavior. Mangroe alleges that Gesteelde-Diamant trapped her in an abusive relationship, pressured her into aggressive sex, and used his security staff to monitor her. She also claims he plied her with drugs and alcohol, filmed their encounters, and threatened to release the footage. Gesteelde-Diamant denies the allegations, calling them untrue and defamatory. Mangroe hopes her story will help others and prevent future abuse.
