Famous Figure Involved in Allegations of Assault in a Mystery Lawsuit
Combs is currently incarcerated without bond and is set to stand trial for charges of sex trafficking and racketeering on May 5. Despite over two dozen civil lawsuits filed since November 2023 accusing him of rape, trafficking, and sexual abuse spanning from the 1990s to 2024, Combs maintains his innocence.
A plaintiff known as John Doe alleges that Diddy made enticing promises to further his music career and coerced him into performing sexual acts. According to the lawsuit, Doe, a prominent entertainer in the Las Vegas adult entertainment scene, was hired by Combs through an agency for strip shows in hotel rooms. Doe claims he was made to consume beverages and apply baby oil to his body while Combs and other women were present during the performances. The lawsuit states that the oil made Doe feel disoriented and weak, leading to instructions from Combs to engage in sexual acts.
Doe recounts that Combs offered to help him advance his music career, leading to trips to various cities under the guise of listening to his music. However, Doe alleges that these encounters involved Combs making grandiose promises while directing him to engage in sexual activities under the influence of substances.
During these encounters, Doe claims he felt trapped and fearful as Combs allegedly wielded a firearm and restricted exits. After these encounters lasting hours, Doe was allegedly paid significantly less than his usual rate by Combs.
Realizing that Combs had no intention of supporting his music career, Doe attempted to distance himself but felt trapped in an abusive cycle leading to severe health issues and emotional trauma. The lawsuit accuses Combs of extreme and outrageous conduct including rape, sexual assault, death threats, and nonpayment.
Doe’s attorney, Bloom, also filed a lawsuit against Combs on behalf of Danity Ka.
A lawsuit was filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs by a man named Dawn Richard in September, alleging sexual assault and battery, sex trafficking, gender discrimination, and copyright infringement. Additionally, Jane Does have sued Diddy, claiming non-consensual ‘group sexual activity’. On the same day, attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents over 100 alleged victims of Combs, submitted two complaints in New York state court on behalf of two women who claim they were sexually assaulted in incidents orchestrated by Combs in the 1990s.
In the first lawsuit, a Jane Doe residing in New York City stated that she experienced multiple instances of sexual assault at the hands of Combs. One particular incident alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Combs’ associates, under his direction, while he was present, at one of his white parties in 1997. The Jane Doe claimed that she was drugged and raped after working as a bottle service attendant at the event.
The second lawsuit involved another Jane Doe from California who alleged that she was coerced into engaging in group sexual activity at Combs’ private ‘shadow party’ in New York City during the 1990s. She also claimed that a second assault occurred while she was romantically involved with one of Combs’ security guards. This assault allegedly took place at the Trump Hotel penthouse suite, where she and her friend were forced to participate in group sexual activity against their will.
