Rap and fashion mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing multiple civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and rape dating back 20 years. Six complaints were filed in the Southern District of New York by four men and two women, with the alleged abusive acts occurring between 1995 and 2021, according to NBC News.
One of the complainants alleges that Combs raped her in a Manhattan hotel in 2004 when she was a 19-year-old college student. The second female complainant alleges that Combs raped her in a bathroom during a video release party in New York City in 1995. One of the four male complainants claims he was 16 years old when Combs sexually assaulted him at one of his infamous Hamptons White Parties in 1998.
As The Wrap reported:
According to the then-teenage victim, he was invited to the party at Combs’ mansion by a mutual friend, where he bumped into the rapper (an apparent picture of the pair from the event in question is included in the legal documents). “Combs took an interest in John Doe” and they engaged in pleasant conversation about the entertainment industry, per the lawsuit. “When John Doe admitted his voice was not great, Combs assured him that did not matter. Combs made clear that the only thing that mattered was having the right look for the industry, and with it, Combs could transform Doe — or anybody — into a star.”
However, “Combs abruptly told John Doe that he needed to drop his pants. John Doe, caught completely off guard, confusingly asked Combs to repeat himself. Combs made himself clear. He instructed John Doe to drop his pants and expose his penis so that Combs could inspect it, explaining it was a rite of passage and the route to becoming a star, and also as a way to prove himself,” the suit alleges.
“Out of fear, anxiety and the imbalanced power dynamic between himself and Combs, John Doe then dropped his pants and exposed his penis as Combs previously instructed,” it continues. “Combs moved closer and grabbed John Doe’s penis and genitals with his hand. He firmly cupped and held onto John Doe’s genitals for an extended period of time. During this time, Combs moved his hand in such a fashion to manipulate John Doe’s genitals, squeezing and feeling them … Combs abruptly then let go of John Doe’s genitals and told him that his people would be in touch. Combs continued with his party as if nothing had happened, but for John Doe, everything had changed.”
One male complainant claims that Combs sexually assaulted him during one of the rapper’s “white parties” held in the Hamptons in 2006. Another male complainant, who was one of Diddy’s employees, alleges that Combs sexually attacked him in a clothing store in Manhattan in 2008 and fired him after reporting the incident. Still another male accuser claims that he was drugged against his will at a Diddy party in 2021 and was then sexually assaulted by Combs and several others after becoming disoriented.

Buzbee has indicated that he has more such cases in the pipeline, stating, “We’re going to just try to file cases that we feel are credible and legitimate.”
“There’s an overarching theme here, as you probably can see, which is basically Sean Combs feels like he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants to do it,” Buzbee added.

A recently resurfaced 2009 video shows Sean “Diddy” Combs and a then 15-year-old Justin Bieber talking about “getting some girls” during a weekend they spent together. The clip, originally posted on Bieber’s YouTube, has drawn new attention amid allegations of underage sexual assault of other males against Combs. In the video, Diddy offers Bieber his mansion and Lamborghini, with both hinting at girls being part of their hangout. The resurfacing has sparked controversy, with a recently converted Christian Justin Bieber reportedly “completely disgusted” by the scandal surrounding his former mentor Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Combs was arrested last month after being indicted by a grand jury on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains in jail as his case proceeds through the courts. The arrest has also led to a number of Hollywood elites being implicated for their attendance at Diddy’s celebrity-filled parties in the past.
Buzbee also claims that several Hollywood A-listers have been paying off alleged victims in order to keep them out of the public eye and away from the allegations against Combs.
