Sean “Diddy” Combs drugged and then raped three men at two Manhattan hotels and at his Hamptons estate as recently as 2022, according to a trio of new lawsuits filed in New York on Thursday.
One of the men recalled that during his drugged haze, once Combs was finished raping him, he handed him off to others from Bad Boy Records so they could take turns sexually assaulting him, according to his lawsuit.
The three lawsuits cite assaults in 2019 and 2020 — though the suit alleges they covered allegations through 2022.
Each lawsuit alleges that Combs served the anonymous victims alcoholic drinks spiked with drugs that made the men feel “ill” and lose consciousness, only to awake as Combs was raping them, court documents state.
Lawyer for the three victims, Thomas P. Giuffra, of Rheingold, Giuffra, Ruffo Plotkin & Hellman, LLP, said in an afternoon press conference outside of Manhattan Supreme Court that the trio of lawsuits have much in common.”All of these cases involve the rape of men,” Guiffra said. “They all involve drugging of these victims, raping by Sean Combs and others, following the rapes threats to the safety of each one of these victims. We’re here to obtain some justice for these people for events that have been traumatizing them ever since.”
Guiffa said that none of the rapes had been reported previously to the police.
“After the assaults, he ensured their silence by threatening them and relying on their fear of his power,” Giuffra said.
“While a lawsuit will not undo the wrongs done to them,” he said, “it enables the survivors regain the power and dignity that was stripped from them by Sean Combs.”
Giuffra also said that he has spoken to about 60 people who claimed that Diddy raped them, but only “filed these three cases and put my name and my reputation behind them.”
One victim, who said he worked as an “errand boy” for Combs’ Bad Boy Records, and had set up a meeting with Combs over money the music mogul allegedly owed him in February 2020.”Sean Combs is cheap and he didn’t pay what he was supposed to for the services he was getting,” Guiffra said, “and my client went to meet with him to try to get paid for the work he had done.”
Instead, Combs invited him to a room at the InterContinental New York Times Square hotel where “he was drugged and raped,” according to Guiffra.”
The victim claims the rapper told him to “stop” when he tried to resist after waking up during the rape.
Combs allegedly also told him he was “almost done” at one point during the assault, the suit claims, and then said he would “look like an idiot” if the accuser ever tried to go to the police.
Unlike the other two sexual attacks, Guiffra said Combs attacked his underling “to show that he was the boss, he was in power and he was going to take away his dignity.”
The rape was the last time this victim saw Combs, Guiffra said, “and he never got paid either.”
Another victim alleged that when he was drugged and raped in 2019 at an exclusive afterparty at the Park Hyatt hotel, he had a “brief moment of consciousness” when he saw “a man and a woman sitting on the bed recording the rape on a camera,” his suit claims.
When he awoke, the victim claimed, a mysterious man in the hotel room handed him roughly $2,500 in cash, telling him it was from Combs, who had already left.
During the summer of 2020, the third victim — a Florida man — was invited to a party at Combs’ Hamptons estate.
After flying to New York, the victim claims, associates from Bad Boy Records picked him up from his Manhattan hotel and drove him to East Hampton, where he later fell ill and lost consciousness after drinking at the party.
“He was able to describe the Hamptons house in very excruciating detail,” Guiffra said at Thursday’s press conference, “and that’s one of the things you look for [in determining whether someone is credible]. He was brought up to party.”
But as the part went on, “his drink had been drugged by Defendant Sean Combs,” the lawsuit asserts.
During the evening, the suit claims, Combs and associates from Bad Boy Records took turns raping him.
The next morning, he awoke “surrounded by Defendant Sean Combs’ associates from Bad Boy Records” and felt “severe pain in his anus.”
“It’s a really strange and troubling dynamic,” Guiffra said at Thursday’s press conference. “These are really grotesque power moves to dehumanize people. The way it was done was in a very dehumanizing fashion. There is no question that it was done to dehumanize.”
All three victims said they filed anonymously because they had been threatened by Combs previously.
In a statement to The Post, Combs’ attorneys said, “These complaints are full of lies. We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him.”
