After weeks of countless accusations of sexual assault and violence, the number of lawsuits against Sean “Diddy” Combs increases as three more people come forward. Every lawsuit was filed by a John Doe, and all the alleged incidents happened between 2019 and 2020.
According to a Variety report, one man alleges that he flew in from Florida to attend one of Combs’ parties in the Hamptons. While partying, the man says he consumed an alcoholic beverage with Combs before losing consciousness. Believing he was drugged, the man also alleges that Combs and members of his entourage sodomized him.
A second man says he met Combs at a New York City club in 2019; he later attended an after-party hosted by Combs, where he claims the disgraced hip-hop mogul offered him a cocktail. After drinking half the glass, he says the room “started spinning” as Combs allegedly said “he is ready to party” to people standing nearby. After losing consciousness and waking up, he found himself completely nude and laying on his stomach with Combs allegedly raping him. He also states that a man and woman (who are unidentified in the lawsuit) recorded the act on camera. After the incident, he says was offered $2,500 on Combs’ behalf.
A third man says he first encountered Combs in 2006 when he was hired to run errands for the Bad Boy Records founder. However, in early 2020, he scheduled a meeting with Combs to go over missing payments at a New York hotel. At the meeting, he recalled feeling unwell after Combs allegedly gave him a drink he now believes was spiked. As Variety reported, “Doe told Combs he wasn’t feeling well, and was instructed to lay down and nap. When he awoke, he was on his stomach with his pants pulled down while Combs raped him.” He also alleged that Combs warned him that going to the police would only make him “look like an idiot.”
Combs’ representatives deny all the allegations, issuing a statement to Variety that reads: “These complaints are full of lies. We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him.”
Following his Sept. 16 arrest, Combs is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. He faces “charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution,” per Variety.
Pleading not guilty, two separate judges have denied Combs bail. His trial is set to begin in May 2025.
