*Embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is once again at the center of serious legal troubles, as multiple new sexual assault lawsuits have emerged.
Three unnamed individuals have come forward, alleging that Diddy drugged and raped them in incidents occurring more recently than past claims against him. These recent lawsuits signal a troubling escalation in the allegations facing the hip-hop icon.
TMZ has reported details regarding the lawsuits, which were filed by the same New York-based attorney. The claims against Diddy include accusations of drugging and sodomy, with the earliest incident reportedly dating back to 2019.
Despite variations in each accuser’s account, a common thread runs through their stories: each individual went to a party with Diddy and his entourage, with two claiming they were later taken to hotels and one alleging the assault occurred at Diddy’s Hamptons residence.
According to the plaintiffs, all three men accepted alcoholic beverages from Diddy, after which they claimed to have become disoriented and passed out. They state that they regained consciousness to find themselves in the midst of sexual assaults. One accuser has gone so far as to claim that his alleged assault was captured on video by Diddy’s associates, who subsequently paid him $2,500 as compensation on behalf of Diddy. The other two plaintiffs, however, have not reported any payment following their experiences.
The lawsuits indicate that fear and humiliation prevented the victims from speaking out sooner about the incidents. Notably, two of the accusers allege that they were raped in hotels, including a claim that one man was assaulted in Diddy’s suite at the Park Hyatt Hotel on 57th Street—ironically, the same hotel where federal agents arrested Diddy just last September.
These recent claims contribute to a growing list of legal challenges faced by Diddy. While earlier allegations have spanned decades, these new accusations focus on incidents occurring within the last few years. Currently, Diddy remains incarcerated in MDC Brooklyn, facing charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His latest attempt to secure bail was denied last month, and he is expected to remain in custody until his trial begins in May.
In response to the allegations, Diddy’s legal team has issued a strong denial, labeling the lawsuits as “full of lies.” They have pledged to prove the claims false and plan to seek sanctions against the attorneys behind what they deem as unethical lawsuits.
As these legal battles unfold, the implications for Diddy’s career and public image grow increasingly dire.
