Diddy Sued by 3 More Men Alleging Rape and Sexual Assault
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal troubles continue to mount.
According to court documents obtained by NBC News, the Bad Boy Records founder was hit Thursday by three additional lawsuits alleging rape and sexual assault. The complaints were filed in New York Supreme Court nearly three months after Diddy was arrested on multiple sex-crime charges.
The plaintiffs, all identified as “John Doe,” are represented by New York-based attorney Thomas Giuffra, who described his clients’ accusations as “frighteningly consistent.” The men claimed they were drugged and sodomized by Diddy on separate occasions between 2019 and 2020. The suits also reference incidents that occurred as recently as 2022.
One of the men claimed to have worked for Diddy from 2006 to 2018 and reunited with his former boss about two years later. The plaintiff said he had agreed to meet the music mogul at a Manhattan hotel to discuss payment for an “off-the-books” job.
The man said Diddy had given him a drink that he believed was spiked, as he immediately felt “very tired, very sleepy” after consuming it. The accuser said he fell asleep shortly after and woke up to find Diddy sodomizing him.
“‘I’m almost done,’” he recalled Diddy saying. “The phrase that just rattles in my brain all the time is, ‘I’m almost done. Just stop, just stop moving. I’m almost finished. Like, I’m almost done.’”
Another John Doe claimed he was sexually assaulted by Diddy in the summer of 2020 when he attended a party at the music mogul’s East Hamptons home. The man alleged had been drinking with Diddy during the event and began to black out. According to Rolling Stone, the man recalled fading “in and out of consciousness” as Diddy and others “took turns anally raping him.”
The third plaintiff said he had met Diddy in 2019 at a New York City nightclub and attended an “exclusive afterparty” at the Park Hyatt hotel, the same place where Diddy was taken into custody back in September. The man claimed Diddy had offered him a drink that left him disoriented and eventually unconscious. The accused said he later woke up to Diddy sodomizing him on a couch while an unidentified woman and man recorded the assault.
“These complaints are full of lies,” Diddy’s legal team said in a statement to NBC News. “We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him.”
The plaintiffs are seeking a jury trial as well as unspecified damages from Diddy and his businesses.
“All three of the men who were involved in these cases were all threatened after the assaults with harm, so they’ve been frightened to come forward,” Giuffra told Rolling Stone. “I think that’s part of how Sean Combs was able to do this for so long. They were afraid. [But] once there was publicity and people were aware there were others … you don’t feel like you’re the one who’s going to be on the hit parade.”
