Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of sexually assaulting minors in new lawsuits

Last month, federal authorities charged him with, among other things, sex trafficking and racketeering; He was refused bail after pleading not guilty. Last month, a former Bad Boy Records employee sued Diddy for rape, and a few days later, an anonymous 12th accuser filed a separate lawsuit alleging he drugged and sexually assaulted her. Today, six new accusers filed lawsuits against Diddy for rape, sexual abuse and sexual assault, including in one case where the accuser was 16 years old.

Two Jane Does and four John Does filed new civil lawsuits against Diddy, alleging incidents from 1995 to 2021 that listed the rapper’s various companies as defendants. A man, a consultant for Diddy’s competitor Ecko Clothing, claims Diddy sexually assaulted him in a New York Macy’s in 2008; Macy’s is listed as a defendant. A woman accuses Combs of raping her in a hotel room at the Manhattan Marriott in 2004, and another woman claims he raped and beat her during a party celebrating the release of the Notorious BIG’s “One More Chance” music video. Another John Doe claims Diddy and several other unnamed men drugged and assaulted him at a party in 2021.

Dozens more lawsuits are expected to be filed against Diddy, according to Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee.
