The-Dream Sued for Alleged Sexual Assault and Trafficking

The-Dream was accused of a series of disturbing allegations in a new lawsuit filed by former protégée Chanaaz Mangroe.

On Tuesday, Mangroe, 33, claimed the singer-songwriter, 46, subjected her to ‘violent sexual acts and vicious psychological torture’ during their past relationship.

In court documents obtained by People, the aspiring musician alleged The-Dream, born Terius Gesteelde-Diamant, lured her into a relationship with false promises of launching her music career.

She was age 23 at the time when, according to the filing, The-Dream led the ‘vulnerable artist into an abusive, violent and manipulative relationship’ in 2015. 

The-Dream is best known for penning top hits for Beyoncé, Rihanna and Mariah Carey.

The-Dream denied the allegations to The New York Times, calling them ‘untrue and defamatory.’

He also told the outlet that he’s ‘deeply offended and saddened’ by Mangroe’s accusations.

‘These claims are untrue and defamatory,’ he said in a statement shared with the outlet from his representative. 

‘I oppose all forms of harassment and have always strived to help people realize their career goals. As someone committed to making a positive impact on my fellow artists and the world at large, I am deeply offended and saddened by these accusations.’
