A former protege of The-Dream, the Grammy-winning writer and producer on some of biggest hits by Beyoncé and Rihanna, has filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault and other abuse.
FILE - The-Dream poses backstage with the awards for best rap/sung collaboration for"No Church in the Wild" at the 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 10, 2013, in Los Angeles.
Mangroe alleges that over the course of more than a year, Gesteelde-Diamant pressured her and forced her to use drugs and alcohol excessively, had sex with her that was violent beyond her consent, raped her at times, and kept her locked in a room for long stretches. She says he was violently controlling, forcing her to diet and exercise, and allowed her little contact with others.
“What Dream did to me made it impossible to live the life I envisioned for myself and pursue my goals as a singer and songwriter,” Mangroe said in a statement. “Ultimately, my silence has become too painful, and I realized that I need to tell my story to heal."
