Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of sexual assault in seven new civil lawsuits, including one that claims other celebrities were involved in an alleged attack.
This is the latest wave of lawsuits from Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, who said on Oct. 1 that he and a team of lawyers would be filing 120 individual sexual assault lawsuits against Combs within the next month. Combs is still behind bars in New York as he awaits trial on federal racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution charges. He pleaded not guilty.
Two of Combs’s accusers in the most recent lawsuits claim they were minors when they were allegedly drugged and raped by the rapper. This is the first time other celebrities have been mentioned as participants in a legal filing; however, they aren’t called out by name. Lawyers for the Bad Boy Records founder are hitting back.
Combs, unnamed male celebrity allegedly raped girl while female celebrity watched
Jane Doe claims she was 13 when she was sexually assaulted by Combs and another “male celebrity.” The incident allegedly occurred on Sept. 7, 2000, when she unsuccessfully tried to attend the MTV Video Music Awards.
Jane Doe could not get a ticket inside the awards show, and she claims a driver who worked for Combs invited her to an after-party. The girl allegedly signed a nondisclosure agreement so she could attend.
“Combs aggressively approached Plaintiff with a crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her, and said, ‘You are ready to party!'” the lawsuit claims, per Deadline.
Jane Doe attests to having one drink but then was feeling “woozy and lightheaded.” She lay down in a bedroom, and soon after, Combs entered with “a male and female celebrity.”
Jane Doe alleges she was first raped by the male celebrity as Combs and the unidentified female watched. Then she claims she was raped by Combs as the other two stars looked on.
