In the latest legal development, music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a fourth lawsuit, this time involving accusations of rape and sex trafficking. Filed by an unnamed Jane Doe, the suit alleges that Combs and two others gang-raped her when she was 17 years old. The accuser claims that Combs, along with former Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre, convinced her to visit a recording studio, where she was later assaulted after being plied with drugs and alcohol.
This lawsuit adds to a string of recent legal actions against Combs, who has been accused of sexual and physical assault. The plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages for lost wages, mental pain, anguish, and severe emotional distress. Combs, 54, has vehemently denied all allegations, stating that these claims are driven by individuals seeking a quick payday.
The lawsuit follows a settlement with Combs’s ex, Cassie Ventura, who had accused him of rape and abuse in 2018. This recent legal action is distinguished by being filed under New York’s Violation of the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law, setting it apart from prior cases. Combs has temporarily stepped down as chairman of Revolt, his cable television network, in the wake of these mounting legal challenges. The music mogul is steadfast in his denial of any wrongdoing, expressing his commitment to fighting for his name, family, and the truth.
