Sean 'Diddy' Combs is being sued by former president and co-founder of Bad Boy Entertainment Kirk Burrowes over what he's calling a 'deeply disturbing pattern' of sexual abuse, coercion, violence and intimidation that spanned more than a decade.

Kirk Burrowes, the co-founding partner and former president of Bad Boy Entertainment, is suing Sean "Diddy" Combs over what he's calling a "deeply disturbing pattern" of sexual abuse, coercion, violence and intimidation that spanned more than a decade. On Friday, Feb. 28, Burrowes' lawyer Tyrone Blackburn filed an 18-page complaint against his former business partner in New York, alleging years of "predatory" actions toward him and an overall fostering of a "toxic environment of coercion, fear and psychological manipulation," per the court documents obtained by PEOPLE. The longtime music mogul is accused of escalating the "campaign of control, resorting to physical violence, blackmail, career sabotage and financial extortion," which the complaint alleges included "forced coercion" so Burrowes would give up a 25% ownership stake in Bad Boy Entertainment.
