New Lawsuits Surface Against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Amidst Ongoing Criminal Charges
Six new civil suits accuse the hip-hop mogul of sexual assault, bringing further scrutiny to his alleged actions as he awaits trial on serious federal charges.
In a significant escalation of ongoing legal issues, Sean “Diddy” Combs is confronted with six new civil lawsuits filed in federal court in New York. The plaintiffs, comprising three men and three women, allege that the hip-hop mogul sexually assaulted them at parties in notable cities including Los Angeles, New York, and Las Vegas. Alarmingly, the youngest plaintiff reports that she was just 13 years old at the time of the alleged incident.
Currently detained in a Brooklyn jail, Combs is also facing severe federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, which he categorically denies. His representatives have branded the spate of lawsuits as "clear attempts to garner publicity," insisting that "Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone - adult or minor, man or woman.”
The detailed allegations in the civil cases suggest a disturbing pattern of behavior, with claims that Combs either personally drugged the plaintiffs or had associates do so, leading to feelings of dizziness, nausea, and a sense of disassociation. Specific allegations include accusations of rape, forced oral sex, and aggressive physical groping.
Compounding his troubles, Combs faces a scheduled trial in May 2025 related to the federal charges, which could result in life imprisonment if he is convicted. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including accusations of sex trafficking and racketeering, and has been denied bail multiple times.
The lawsuits have reportedly implicated Combs' business operations, alleging their involvement in facilitating his allegedly predatory behaviors, both within and outside the music industry. They further assert that he used his considerable power and influence in entertainment to manipulate and intimidate individuals, effectively silencing them.
Among the shocking claims mentioned, one case describes a 2000 post-VMA after-party where Combs and an unidentified male celebrity allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl. Others detail situations where individuals experienced drug-related assaults, including one case where a woman woke up in a hotel room with Combs after allegedly being drugged.
With these new suits, the total number of allegations against Combs is reported to be over 100, encompassing a wide variety of forms of sexual assault, grooming, and domestic violence accusations. One lawyer representing multiple alleged victims indicated that plans for further actions against Combs are ongoing as the legal ramifications of his alleged actions continue to unfold.
