A former protege of The-Dream, a Grammy-winning writer and producer on some of biggest hits by Beyoncé and Rihanna, among others, filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing him of sexual assault and other abuse.
Gesteelde-Diamant, an eight-time Grammy winner who was a writer and producer on huge hits including Beyoncé’s 'Single Ladies ,' Justin Bieber’s 'Baby' and Rihanna’s 'Umbrella,' has denied the allegations. Mangroe, 33, says a representative of Gesteelde-Diamant reached out to her on social media in 2014 and asked her to send samples of her music, and that the producer flew her to Atlanta early the next year promising to help her career.
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.' The Associated Press doesn't typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly, as Mangroe has.
