Sean Diddy Combs, who was arrested last week on sex trafficking and other charges and is being held at Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center, is now facing a new sexual assault lawsuit and dozens more. Lawsuits may loom.
In a lawsuit filed today in New York City, the Florida-based former model alleges that she was blackmailed, drugged and raped by the “Bad Boy for Life” cast over several years starting in 2021. , claims that she was impregnated. Combs pressured her to have an abortion, but she actually lost the child to a miscarriage.
Still, she was allegedly forced to take ketamine, drink alcohol and have sex with other men and women, and the anonymous complainant also said Combs tried to control her and her access to his home. Sadly, all of this comes after ex-girlfriend Kathy Ventura went public with claims of assault, abuse, violence and revenge from Combs in November 2020, along with nearly a dozen others against the Grammy winner. This becomes a common MO for accusations made by people.
In language common to most other lawsuits and accusations against Combs, the new 14-page filing states that after spending time with the rapper, the plaintiff frequently “waked up with bruises and injuries.” “I don’t remember how I supported my body.” injury. ”
Jane Doe seeks unspecified wide-ranging damages on behalf of attorney Joseph L. Ciaccio, managing partner of the New York City-based law firm Napoli Shkolnik’s personal injury practice. are.
This latest lawsuit comes three days after Talia Graves filed her own lawsuit in Empire State Court alleging that Combs and his bodyguard raped her in 2001 and sold the footage for years. I was disappointed.
As seems to be the case with nearly all of the allegations against Combs, the case doesn’t end there. “After the assault, Combs and Sherman contacted the plaintiff multiple times over the years, warning him to remain silent and warning him that if he disclosed the assault, he could lose custody of his son. “threatened to have repercussions,” says the civil suit on three court claims. said Graves, Gloria Allred’s agent.
Mr. Combs, who was arrested by federal authorities at a Manhattan hotel on September 16, faces charges of sex trafficking, extortion, and transportation to engage in prostitution in an ongoing investigation by U.S. Attorney Damian Williams’ office. has been indicted for. The charges in the unsealed indictment could send the 54-year-old rapper to prison for the rest of his life if convicted.
Combs has denied nearly all the allegations against him over the past several months and has maintained his innocence in the Justice Department case. Late last year, Mr. Combs initially called Mr. Ventura’s claims “blatant extortion,” but settled the next day for about $30 million. But after surveillance footage of Combs beating Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hall in 2016 was released on May 17, the rapper quickly took to social media to apologize for his “unacceptable” behavior. However, not many people considered this apology to be sincere to others. Cases are piling up.
In response, a New York City grand jury appears to have heard testimony today from a male sex worker who claims to have participated in Combs’ sordid “freak-offs,” sources said. U.S. Attorney Williams said the investigation into Combs continues. Nothing has been decided yet, but I have heard that this testimony could lead to further charges.
Even if there are no further charges from the federal government, it looks like there will be more charges from the Lone Star State.
In a social media post on Friday, Houston attorney Tony Buzbee said his office has identified “more than 50 people who have suffered sexual assault and abuse at the hands of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his associates. He said he has been appointed “lead attorney to pursue claims on behalf of the people.” Buzbee promised a press conference “early next week” and urged others to come forward. Many were minors when the abuse occurred. Some of these brave people reported the incidents to the police, while others did not. ”
Neither Mr. Buzbee nor Mr. Ciaccio responded to requests for comment on the issues they are dealing with. A representative for Combs also did not respond to Deadline’s request for comment on the allegations. This post will be updated if any respond.
Combs, who was denied $50 million bail and home detention release on Sept. 18, does not yet have a trial date in his federal case, but both prosecutors and defense are working quickly to resolve things with a jury. It seems like he wants to move.
