Clayton Howard’s Lawsuit Unveils STD and Abortion Claims Against Cassie and Diddy

A tapestry of whispered betrayals drapes itself over court transcripts as Clayton Howard, the escort once called “Dave,” steps onto the legal stage to cast Cassie and Sean “Diddy” Combs as co-authors of his anguish. In a suit obtained by TMZ on July 3, 2025, Howard alleges that Cassie secretly transmitted an STD to him and terminated their unborn child without his knowledge—a shocking duet of medical and moral transgressions playing out behind closed doors.
Poetic irony echoes through the pages of this complaint, which details Howard’s first rendezvous in 2009 when he claims he was transported across state lines at Diddy’s behest for “freak-offs” involving both stars. Federal prosecutors have already tagged him as one of seven escorts exploited for commercial sex, and now Howard paints a portrait of manipulation so vivid it bleeds onto courtroom notes: drugging, emotional coercion, and forced ecstasy that ended in unprotected encounters. He recalls Cassie ordering him to masturbate for hours, leaving his skin raw, peeling, and scabbed—proof of a ritualistic cruelty he says was masked by celebrity glamour.
Howard contends that after learning of his pregnancy claim, Cassie arranged an abortion without consent or even a whisper of warning. He charges her with continuing to engage in unprotected intimacy afterward, deepening his sense of violation and fear. Meanwhile, Diddy himself stands convicted of transporting escorts across state lines for prostitution, though acquitted on racketeering and sex trafficking counts. He remains in custody, awaiting sentencing that could stretch up to 20 years behind bars.
Drawing on court documents and TMZ’s exclusive scoop, Howard’s team seeks damages for physical pain, mental anguish, lost wages, medical bills, and a stolen sense of self. The lawsuit accuses the duo of trafficking him for over five years, using his body as “entertainment to satisfy sexual fetishes and personal ambitions.” It’s a claim that filters the glitz of celebrity lifestyle through the grim lens of coercion and abuse.
Cassie and Diddy’s legal representatives have so far remained silent, but the echoes of Howard’s allegations reverberate through the corridors of fame. As each deposition unfolds, the public waits, hearts heavy with the gravity of STD diagnoses and the secrecy of an unconsented abortion etched into celebrity lore. And so, the ink drips from these pages like tears of a betrayed wanderer—will this be the final act, or merely the overture to a deeper reckoning? A bittersweet ending, or merely the beginning?
