Diddy
New Lawyer Says She Survived Sexual Assault
Published
Nicole Westmoreland — the newest lawyer on Diddy‘s team — is a survivor of sexual assault … because she was allegedly raped back in 2001.
The powerhouse attorney — who officially joined Diddy’s team this morning — was just 19 years old back in 2001 when she worked for a company that helped people reinstate suspended driver’s licenses.
According to Westmoreland, Bryan Williams — vice president of Cash Money Records — and a man named “Stone” met her and asked her to make a sales pitch to the company at Patchwerk Recording Studio in Atlanta.
One night, Westmoreland says she and three female friends went to the recording studio … where a large gathering was taking place.
According to Westmoreland, a man named Alfred Cleveland was there, and she says he was a friend of Ronald Williams — then president of CMR and Bryan’s brother.

During the evening, Westmoreland says she went to use the restroom … and, Cleveland offered to show her where it was. Westmoreland says Cleveland got her to the bathroom, forced her inside and raped her.
She claims another man came to the door … during which Cleveland allegedly told him to keep guard and then allegedly tried to pass her off to him — but, Nicole says she begged him not to, and he let her go.
Westmoreland later said she was threatened about going to the police … but, she did anyway — and, Cleveland was arrested and charged with rape. He ultimately pled guilty to aggravated assault with intent to rape.
