New Allegations Against Sean “Diddy” Combs: Lawsuit Claims Drugging and Sexual Assault”
Sean “Diddy” Combs, a prominent figure in the music industry, is facing serious allegations in a new lawsuit. A woman has accused Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 1991 when she was a college student. This lawsuit was filed just before the expiration of the Adult Survivors Act, allowing claims against alleged abusers regardless of the statute of limitations.
- Allegations Details: The lawsuit alleges that Combs sexually abused the woman, who was a Syracuse University student at the time, during a dinner in New York City. The complaint details that Combs drugged her, leading to her being unable to stand or walk independently, and then sexually assaulted her.
- Aftermath of the Incident: The woman reportedly did not immediately report the incident to the police or seek hospital treatment but confided in her best friend the next day. She alleges that the incident led to her hospitalization for severe depression and suicidal ideation, and subsequently dropping out of college.
- Attempts for Legal Action: The accuser later filed police reports and spoke to prosecutors in New York and New Jersey. However, the lawsuit claims potential witnesses were afraid to participate due to fear of Combs’ retaliation.
- Combs’ Response: A spokesperson for Combs has dismissed the lawsuit as a baseless “money grab,” stating that the allegations are not credible and that Combs never assaulted the accuser.
- Broader Accusations: The lawsuit includes claims of assault and battery, sex trafficking, and revenge porn, with allegations that Combs tried to discourage the accuser from speaking out about him while she worked in the music industry.
These allegations against Combs are part of a larger narrative of sexual abuse accusations in the entertainment industry, underscoring the need for accountability and thorough investigations in such serious matters.
