Sean “Diddy” Combs is being sued for sexual assault by a street musician who claims that Combs orally and anally raped him.
The musician’s attorneys filed a lawsuit within the Supreme Court of the State of Recent York on Monday, February 10, claiming that the disgraced music mogul “used an worker of Bad Boy Records to lure [John] Doe, a musician, to a celebration with guarantees of a possible recording contract,” the grievance read, per documents obtained by Us Weekly.
“After some small talk, Combs drugged and forcefully raped Doe,” the docs continued. “This case seeks compensatory and punitive damages for that violent sexual assault. The conduct described herein is shockingly typical of how Defendant Sean Combs conducted himself for a few years. Many individuals and entities facilitated and conspired with this abhorrent conduct. Sean Combs believed he was above the law. He just isn’t.”
The filing was submitted by The Buzbee Law Firm, which represents multiple alleged victims in cases against Diddy. The previous record exec, 55, is currently behind bars in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering as he awaits his trial on May 5.
In accordance with the grievance, John Doe is male and lives in Chicago, and “demands a trial by jury on his claims.” The filing states that the “young musician” had traveled to California in October 2022 to perform music within the Los Angeles area. The next month, he was singing and playing guitar on the road outside a “popular nightclub” around midnight when he “was approached by a person wearing dark clothing and wearing sunglasses and a Bad Boy Records hat. The person complimented Doe on his talent and delightful signing [sic] voice.”
Next, the person informed Doe that he was a scout for Diddy, who “was searching for emerging talent,” the docs alleged. “To the young Doe, this gave the look of a potentially life changing opportunity.”
The scout allegedly invited Doe to an “A-list party” that Diddy was hosting that night. Ninety minutes later, a black Cadillac Escalade got here to choose Doe up and drive him to the party at a personal house. There, Doe encountered Diddy, who allegedly said, “So you will need to be Gami [Doe’s stage name]. My assistant told me you may have an attractive voice. Sit down, have a drink with me, and let’s talk business.”
Diddy handed Doe “a drink, and the 2 talked about Doe’s music, goals, and aspirations,” the grievance alleged. “Combs made quite a few guarantees about helping Doe secure a serious recording contract.”
When Doe gave Diddy a compliment on the necklace he was wearing on the time, “Combs asked if Doe would love to see more of his jewelry collection. Doe excitedly agreed,” the docs continued, describing the alleged encounter. “Combs led Doe to a personal room elsewhere within the House. At this point, Doe noticed that he felt strange — drowsy and barely euphoric, and somewhat off-balance, beyond what he would expect from having consumed a single drink. It became clear to him that something was fallacious. He realized later he had been drugged.”
The documents included a photograph of “an actual exemplary container” utilized by Diddy and his associates to insert GHB — an illegal party drug — into alcoholic drinks.
“The 2 entered a bedroom, and Doe immediately noticed that there was no jewelry anywhere,” the grievance alleged. “Combs bluntly asked Plaintiff, ‘Have you ever ever sucked a dick before?’ Shocked, Doe said no, to which Combs responded, ‘It is best to try it,’ while pulling out his penis.”
Then, “Doe told Combs that he wasn’t comfortable and he attempted to depart, saying that Combs’ team could contact him within the morning,” the docs claimed. “But Combs refused to let Doe leave, and insisted that Doe wouldn’t receive any contract unless he complied. Despite Doe’s refusal of Combs’ advances, Combs applied increasing pressure, continuing to make guarantees about launching Doe’s profession.”
“Eventually, Combs lost his patience,” the musician’s attorneys alleged. “He grabbed Doe’s face and forcefully inserted his penis into Doe’s mouth. Doe felt trapped, and had grow to be more incapacitated from the drugs Combs had given him. After orally raping Doe, Combs undressed him and assaulted him anally before leaving the room. Doe was left largely incapacitated on the sting of the bed.”
The next morning, “an unknown person administered Doe an IV and told Doe that his ride was waiting outside,” they continued. “Doe was unceremoniously driven back to the nightclub and dropped off.”
The musician has not seen or heard from Diddy for the reason that alleged assault, and has “experienced damages including pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional torment,” the grievance claims, alleging that the musician didn’t report the incident as a result of “Combs’ power and notoriety, and since he was shocked and embarrassed. … Doe became yet one more sexual assault victim of Combs’ through the identical pattern and abuse of influence Combs’ exercised over others previously.”
In two other recent lawsuits this month, the rapper was accused of forcing two women into “group sex” and directing a club promoter to rape one among them within the late ‘80s and ‘90s.
A legal representative for Diddy addressed Monday’s claims in a press release to Us Weekly, stating, “Mr. Combs cannot reply to every recent publicity stunt, even in response to claims which can be facially [sic] ridiculous or demonstrably false. Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence within the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the reality will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”
