Allegations and Legal Proceedings
Sean "Diddy" Combs is embroiled in legal battles as three men have come forward with lawsuits accusing him of rape and sexual assault. Filed in New York Supreme Court, these lawsuits detail incidents that allegedly took place between 2019 and 2022.
The lawsuits claim that Diddy personally offered the plaintiffs drinks at parties, which caused them to lose consciousness, and then proceeded to assault them. The rapper's legal team has categorically denied these allegations, calling them "full of lies" and asserting that they will seek sanctions against the attorneys involved.
The new allegations add to over 30 civil cases against Diddy, many of which date back to the 1990s and involve similar accusations. Despite the mounting legal challenges, Diddy remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after being denied bail three times.
His legal team remains steadfast, stating, "We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him." The gravity of these allegations has not deterred Diddy's defense from maintaining his innocence.
In one of the new lawsuits, an anonymous plaintiff listed as John Doe accuses Mr Combs of assault following an encounter at the Marquee nightclub in New York in 2019.
According to his complaint, he joined Mr Combs and 10 other individuals for a private afterparty when the hip-hop mogul "personally offered" him a cocktail, after which he felt disoriented. The man alleges that Mr Combs noticed his disoriented state and said: "He is ready to party."
Thomas Giuffra, the attorney representing the three plaintiffs, has disclosed that more than 60 individuals have approached his office with claims against Diddy. After thorough investigation, Giuffra decided to move forward with these three cases. He explained that the men chose to file anonymously due to fear of Diddy's influence and reach.
The lawsuits are a part of a larger pattern of accusations that have surfaced against the rapper, painting a troubling picture of alleged misconduct spanning decades.
Another anonymous plaintiff alleges that he attended a party at Mr Combs' East Hampton home in the summer of 2020. After consuming alcohol provided by Mr Combs, the man claims he began to lose consciousness.
While "fading in and out of consciousness", he alleges that Mr Combs and others from Bad Boys Entertainment "took turns raping him".
The third anonymous man claims he met Mr Combs in 2006 and began working for him.
He alleges that in February 2020, he met Mr Combs at a hotel to discuss unpaid wages and during that meeting, he claims the rapper prepared him a drink that he believes was drugged.
