‘Plaintiff, shocked and disoriented, frozen momentarily and did not know how to respond to the weirdly inappropriate sexual advance,’ suit contends
Contained in a new wave of lawsuits that have been filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is an allegation that a professional athlete allegedly stopped the embattled music mogul from sexually assaulting a man at one of his celeb-filled parties in 2022.
“Combs continued to move closer and then grabbed Plaintiff’s genitals through his pants, squeezing them in a rough and sexual manner,” the suit alleges. “Plaintiff, shocked and disoriented, frozen momentarily and did not know how to respond to the weirdly inappropriate sexual advance made by Combs.”
The alleged assault ended when the sports personality — who is identified as“Professional Athlete A” — came upon the scene and stopped the attack.
According to another plaintiff, who was 16 at the time he claims he was abused in 1998, Combs allegedly asked him to “drop his pants,” calling it “a rite of passage.”
Afterward, Combs said “his people would be in touch” before he returned to the party, which Doe said was filled with “countless celebrities.”
The new claims were filed by Tony Buzbee’s Buzbee Law Firm, which announced earlier this month it is filing 120 lawsuits against Combs, who has been in federal custody since his Sept. 16 arrest at a Manhattan hotel after police charged him with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The woman says that she was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement and given a drink that made her “feel woozy and lightheaded.”
“Looking for a place to rest, Plaintiff entered what she believed to be an empty bedroom so she could lie down for a moment,” reads the lawsuit.
She alleges that Combs entered the room with “a male and female celebrity” and “aggressively approached Plaintiff with a crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her, and said, ‘You are ready to party!’”
Combs then threw the girl toward another male celebrity, who is referred to in the lawsuit as “Celebrity A.”
“Plaintiff was held down by Celebrity A who vaginally raped her while Combs and Celebrity B, a female, watched. After the male celebrity finished, Combs then vaginally raped Plaintiff while the Celebrity A and Celebrity B watched. Combs attempted to force Plaintiff to perform oral sex on him, but she resisted by hitting Combs in the neck; he stopped,” the lawsuit adds.
After the alleged assault, the woman says she “fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life.”
Combs “has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman,” they added.
The I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker’s notorious “White Parties” attracted a who’s who of Hollywood over the years.
In the days after Combs’ arrest last month, photos emerged on social media showing such notable names as Jennifer Lopez, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jay-Z, Ashton Kutcher and others attending his “White Parties.”
In a resurfaced clip from a 2014 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Khloe Kardashian spoke about going to one of Combs’ bashes where “half the people there were butt naked” and running into Justin Bieber.
During a September 2019 appearance on Hot Ones, Kutcher was asked by host Sean Evans about the events hosted by Combs. “I’ve got a lot I can’t tell,” the That ’70s Show star said. “Diddy party stories, man — that was some weird memory lane thing.”
“Denzel screamed, ‘You don’t respect anyone,’” the insider recalled of the blowup that occurred in 2003. “(Denzel and his wife, Pauletta) had been partying until dawn (with Diddy), and they had seen something and stormed out.”
Meanwhile, a person close to DiCaprio denied the actor participated in any illegal activities during Combs’ swanky get-togethers.
“What happened before 2 a.m. pales in comparison to what happened at 5 a.m.,” the insider told the outlet.
Celebrity PR expert Eric Schiffer says that celebrities are staying quiet about Combs’ parties to preserve their own standing in Hollywood.
“Celebrities are silent because they are scared to death of their brands bleeding out with fans over ties to Diddy, and fear if they cross him, things could turn bad. Most are still best served by staying dark,” Schiffer, CEO of Reputation Management Consultants, tells Postmedia.
In a 2006 interview, Combs said his lavish parties were meant to bridge the worlds of hip-hop and Hollywood.
“You’re legendary for the parties that you throw. You throw a great party,” O’Brien said to Combs in the segment, which was shared to X and viewed over 16.4 million times. “What’s the ingredient? What do you do to make an amazing, killer party?”
“Women, beautiful women, of course,” Combs replied. “Beautiful men for the ladies, of course. There’s enough ladies to go around. You have to give the ladies what they need too. You have to take care of your women. You can’t force the situation.”
Combs continued, adding that his parties required a variety of “alcohols” and water.
“You need some water. I don’t know if guys have noticed this but a lot of ladies drink water at parties, so if you don’t have what they need, they’re going to leave. Gotta keep them there. Need locks on the doors,” he said.
“This is sounding kind of dangerous now,” O’Brien replied.
