Sean “Diddy” Combs once allegedly threatened Kimora Lee Simmons with physical violence, according to a resurfaced New York magazine article.
The 2004 profile about the Baby Phat fashion designer reemerged after the 54-year-old rapper’s ex-girlfriend Cassie filed a federal lawsuit accusing Combs of rape and abuse, which he has “vehemently” denied.
