In a new legal development, media mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs faces another accusation of sexual abuse, marking the fourth lawsuit against him since his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, filed a suit on November 16. The recent 14-page complaint, filed by an anonymous woman, alleges that Diddy, along with former Bad Boy president Harve Pierre and an unnamed man, “gang raped” and “sex trafficked” her in 2003 when she was a 17-year-old high school junior.
The plaintiff claims that Pierre approached her at a Detroit lounge, encouraging her to fly to New York City on a private jet to meet Diddy. Disturbingly, the complaint details coercive actions, including forced oral sex and sexual assault, while the plaintiff was intoxicated. The lawsuit further asserts that the traumatic incident has caused significant emotional distress for over two decades.
This accusation follows Diddy’s ex-girlfriend’s claims of repeated abuse, and two additional accusers who came forward on Thanksgiving, invoking the Adult Survivors Act in New York, which temporarily allowed accusers to file civil cases regardless of when the alleged abuse occurred. Diddy, who temporarily stepped down from his role as chairman of Revolt, denies all allegations and released a statement on social media, vowing to fight for his name, family, and the truth.
These legal challenges raise questions about Diddy’s public persona and shed light on industry dynamics, including allegations that he shared publishing rights with artists who signed nondisclosure agreements. As the legal battles unfold, Diddy’s reputation faces intense scrutiny, challenging his image as the self-proclaimed “Love” and raising broader discussions about accountability in the entertainment industry.
