This claim is true. 

Sean “Diddy” Combs was accused by renowned fashion designer Bryana “Bána“ Bongolan  for allegedly picking her up and dangling her over a 17 story balcony, among other forms of abuse. This is just one of many civil suits that Diddy faces over the next upcoming years. Attached is a timeline from Forbes detailing most if not all of the cases filed.

As gruesome and unfortunate this claim is, this claim seems to be TRUE. People is a very tabloid-like celebrity coverage magazine which tends to be known for being extremely dramatized and profit driven, but after further research, other cites cover the topic as well. USA Today covers the story as well and states, "The suit claims Combs dangled Bongolan off a 17-story balcony at his ex-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura Fine's Los Angeles apartment building in September 2016." Even Rolling StoneThe Economic Timesand Vulture all cover the same accusation, all of which contain direct quotes from the victim. This is just one of many cases Sean Combs is to be charged for given his recent exposure of criminal activity commonly involving women.
