As Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces a growing list of sexual abuse lawsuits and steps aside from his chairman role at Revolt, fallout is mounting in another corner of his empire, with more than a dozen companies distancing themselves from his recently launched e-commerce platform Empower Global.

A total of 18 brands have confirmed to Rolling Stone that they have severed ties with the online marketplace for Black-owned businesses after R&B singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and three other women accused the producer turned entrepreneur of sexual assault and physical violence.

“This decision was made on the day that Casandra Ventura filed her lawsuit,” Annette Njau, founder of luxury-bag, eyewear, and apparel company House of Takura, tells Rolling Stone.

“We take the allegations against Mr. Combs very seriously and find such behavior abhorrent and intolerable. We believe in victims’ rights, and support victims in speaking their truth, even against the most powerful of people.”

Annette Azan, founder of undergarment and shapewear line Nuudii System, says she also terminated her Empower Global account the day she learned of Ventura’s allegations.

Lenard Grier, co-founder of No One Clothiers, says his company acted immediately as well.
