Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of allegedly drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl as two celebrities joined in at a VMAs after party in New York two decades ago, according to a new wave of lawsuits.
The disturbing allegations were laid bare in a slew of civil lawsuits filed against the fallen music mogul in the Southern District of New York late Sunday.
In one of the suits, an alleged teen victim — only identified as “Jane Doe” — claims she was attacked after having one drink that left her feeling “woozy and lightheaded” at the drug-fuelled house party in Sept. 2000, the court papers charge.
“Looking for a place to rest, Plaintiff entered what she believed to be an empty bedroom so she could lie down for a moment,” the suit states.
“Soon after, Combs, along with a male and female celebrity, entered the room.”
“Combs aggressively approached Plaintiff with a crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her, and said, ‘You are ready to party’,” the filing added.
The woman alleges she was then pinned down and raped by Combs and the male celebrity as the unnamed female star watched on.
She claims Combs tried to force her to perform oral sex but she fought him off by hitting him in the neck, according to the filing.
The alleged victim said she then grabbed her clothes and left the bedroom – “roaming naked through the house looking for the exit.”
Once outside, the then-teen put on her clothes and walked to a nearby gas station where a female clerk, who “noticed her distress”, let her use the phone to call her dad to pick her up, the filing states.
“After the assault, Plaintiff fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life,” the suit said.
The girl said she’d ended up at the party after trying to get into the VMAs show at the Radio City Music Hall without a ticket earlier that night.
In a bid to coax her way inside, the alleged victim said she approached several limousine drivers outside the venue – including one who worked for Combs and invited her to the after party.
The driver — who allegedly told her she “fit what Diddy was looking for” – later drove her to a “large white house with a gated U-shaped driveway,” the suit claimed.
She claims she signed a non-discloser agreement preventing her from talking about what she saw at the celebrity-filled party.
The accuser didn’t name any of the stars she allegedly spotted but described witnessing “widespread drug use, including marijuana and cocaine,” the suit says.
The latest suits come just days after Combs’ lawyers begged a Manhattan federal court judge to force prosecutors to reveal the names of the ever-increasing number of accusers who have been coming forward with years-old allegations.
“This case is unique, in part because of the number of individuals levying allegations against Mr. Combs due to his celebrity status, wealth and the publicity of his previously settled lawsuit,” the lawyers argued in the letter.
“This has had a pervasive ripple effect, resulting in a torrent of allegations by unidentified complainants, spanning from the false to outright absurd.”
Combs’ lawyers argued they needed to know the names of his accusers to properly prepare for his criminal trial, slated for May 5.
“The government is thus forcing him, unfairly, to play a guessing game — one made all the more challenging by the slew of baseless allegations that desperate plaintiffs are lodging at him (for the most part anonymously) in opportunistic civil suits,” the filing states.
Combs, who is being held without bail in federal custody in Brooklyn following his arrest last month, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The federal indictment against him detailed troubling allegations that Combs manipulated women and plied them with drugs to participate in “Freak Offs” — violent sex sessions that were sometimes recorded against their will.
