A former protege of Grammy-winning writer and producer The-Dream has accused him of sexual assault and other abuse.

Chanaaz Mangroe, who performed under the stage name Channii Monroe, filed a lawsuit against The-Dream, whose legal name is Terius Gesteelde-Diamant alleging he lured her into “an abusive, violent, and manipulative relationship filled with physical assaults, violent sexual encounters, and horrific psychological manipulation” after she left her native Netherlands for the US with hopes of making it big as a singer.
