Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs is facing yet another sexual assault lawsuit, this time from a former model who claims she was just 17 years old when she attended one of the rapper’s infamous White Parties in the Hamptons.
The unidentified accuser said she attended the A-list bash at Combs’ mansion on July 4, 2004, and encountered multiple celebrities before she was allegedly sexually assaulted, Business Insider reports.
‘The event was lavishly decorated, featured live music performances and boasted top-tier food and beverages, an atmosphere of opulence and luxury, full of celebrities,’ says the suit, which was filed in New York federal court late on Tuesday.
‘Many unsuspecting individuals, like Plaintiff, were recruited to attend these parties.’
The suit goes on to claim that the alleged victim was drugged with a spiked drink, and ultimately lost consciousness.
At one point, the plaintiff claims, Combs and two of his body guards approached the then-teenager and threatened her.
‘Combs told Plaintiff that she would be in danger if she spoke about what had occurred, stating that he “ran New York and would ruin her,”‘ the suit alleges.
‘At this point, Plaintiff recognized that at least Combs had sexually assaulted her, while she was unconscious. She feared for her life.’
Rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing yet another sexual assault lawsuit
A suit filed in federal court late Tuesday claims a then-17-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by the hip hop mogul at his celebrity-filled Fourth of July White Party in 2004
It is unclear from court documents how the victim was able to determine that the hip hop mogul was the one who sexually assaulted her.
But it says, she agreed not to speak to police about what had occurred in exchange for her cellphone and her purse – which she was forced to hand over upon arrival at the party, according to the Washington Post.
She was then allegedly escorted to a hotel in East Hampton.
The suit is one of more than 20 civil suits filed on behalf of alleged Diddy victims by Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee.
Two of the other plaintiffs have claimed they were also sexually assaulted at Combs’ 1998 and 2006 White Parties.
Buzbee announced on Instagram Thursday that he expects to file even more suits every week ‘naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings.’
But Combs’ attorneys have repeatedly denied the claims, as they hit out at Buzbee, claiming he is profiting off of Combs’ legal troubles.
‘As his legal team has said before, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process,’ Erica Wolff told Business Insider.
‘In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone – man or woman, adult or minor.’
It is just one of more than 20 civil suits filed on behalf of alleged Diddy victims by Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee
She added that a recently-filed lawsuit against Buzbee by an unidentified celebrity adds credibility to their claims that the Texas lawyer is extorting A-listers.
That suit, which was filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges that the Texas lawyer threatened to unleash false claims of sexual assault unless the celebrity agreed to pay an exorbitant settlement.
According to the complaint, Buzbee’s alleged tactics included sending demand letters outlining serious but unfounded accusations, such as multiple instances of rape involving minors at parties purportedly hosted by music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
The man claims Buzbee threatened to release ‘entirely fabricated and malicious allegations of sexual assault – including multiple incidents of rape of a minor, both male and female – against Plaintiff if he refuses to comply with their demands.’
The suit, seen by TMZ, states how Buzbee’s demand letters allege the plaintiff raped the males and females while they were under the influence of drugs.
The lawsuit also states that these claims were entirely baseless and maliciously designed to coerce the plaintiff into a settlement to avoid public scandal and reputational harm.
‘With Combs behind bars and payment unlikely to be forthcoming any time soon, Defendants devised a scheme to obtain payments through the use of coercive threats from anyone with ties to Combs,’ the suit says.
Buzbee has since said the suit is ‘not only without legal merit,’ but is also ‘laughable,’ Business Insider reports.
Still, Wolff says it ‘exposes [Buzbee’s] barrage of lawsuits against Mr. Combs for what they are: shameless publicity stunts, designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them, just as lies have been spread about Mr. Combs.’
Diddy remains behind bars in New York City as he faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution
The rapper, however, remains behind bars in New York City.
He was federally charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution on September 17, 2024.
Prosecutors have said he arranged ‘Freak Offs,’ described as ‘elaborate and produced sex performances’ arranged and directed by the hip hop mogul while he masturbated and often recorded them.
He was allegedly aided by associates and employees, and silenced victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is currently seeking to be freed to house arrest through a $50 million bail package.
