A new civil lawsuit has been filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, accusing the rapper of drugging, raping a woman, and impregnating her.
Earlier this month, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion – charges he denies.
The 54-year-old rapper now faces a civil lawsuit, marking the 12th accuser to come forward. The lawsuit was filed in New York and obtained by media outlets on Friday (September 27).
This lawsuit spans from the fall of 2020 to the summer of this year and includes allegations made by a woman whose identity remains anonymous, referred to as ‘Jane Doe’.
Doe claims she first met the rapper in 2020 while ‘overseas.’ For the next four years, Combs allegedly coerced and harassed her to travel to his homes in locations such as New York, Los Angeles, and Miami.
The lawsuit alleges that Combs and his associates monitored her conversations and tracked her location. It also claims the rapper gave her an ‘allowance’ while allegedly trying to deter her from working.
The lawsuit states: “At every visit, Defendant Combs would make her ‘perform a show’ for him and would ply her with alcohol and substances until she passed out. She would wake up with bruising and injuries but with no recollection of how she sustained her injuries. This continued until July of 2024.”
The lawsuit provides detailed accounts of various individual encounters.
One encounter in April 2022 alleges that Combs “forced Jane Doe to have vaginal intercourse without her consent.” Later that year, another incident occurred where Doe “woke up with her feet purple and bruised and had a bite mark on her heel.”
Doe also recounts another event in July 2022 at Combs’ Los Angeles home, claiming she was forced to take drugs and blacked out. Upon waking, she took a pregnancy test, which was positive.
The lawsuit states she informed Combs of the test result, and one of the rapper’s associates ordered her to get an abortion, although she later suffered a miscarriage.
Combs allegedly recorded their sexual encounters without Doe’s consent and pressured her into engaging in group sex.
The lawsuit was filed against Combs, his companies, and several associates. It alleges that the rapper “and his agents and employees not only used language and tactics to force Jane Doe to act against her will but also unwillingly drugged her with alcohol and unknown substances.”
It also claims that Doe was forced to witness Combs slap and abuse other women.
The lawsuit seeks damages for alleged sexual assault, battery, and infliction of emotional distress, aiming for compensation for severe emotional distress, humiliation, anxiety, physical injuries, and other harms.
Marie Napoli, one of the attorneys representing Doe, said in a statement quoted by ABC7 New York: “Powerful figures in the entertainment industry have long exploited aspiring artists and fans. Recent high-profile lawsuits aim to hold these celebrities accountable, potentially transforming industry practices and providing justice for victims.
“No one is above the law. Fame and wealth do not protect Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs from serious allegations of sex trafficking and abuse.”
