Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of sexual assault and rape amid a new wave of civil lawsuits.
NBC News reported on Sunday, October 20, that it had obtained “five new civil lawsuits” filed that day by a Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee in the Southern District of New York. The documents, which do not name any plaintiffs, contain allegations of sexual assault and rape against Diddy, 54, during “separate” incidents that occurred between 2000 and 2002.
The outlet reported that two of the plaintiffs are male and the remaining three were filed by women. One of the female accusers has accused Diddy of raping her when she was 13. It is uncertain how old the woman is now.
The outlet also reported that Diddy is accused of “drugging one of the men and the three women.”
We weekly has reached out to Diddy’s legal team for comment.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ infamous games are being called into question due to the rapper’s legal troubles. After facing several allegations of sexual assault and abuse from multiple people, Diddy, 54, was arrested in New York City on September 16 and later charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. In his fourteen-page indictment, Diddy was accused of orchestrating parties […]
Buzbee, who filed six separate lawsuits against the music mogul in a Manhattan federal court on Oct. 14, told the outlet that he planned to file a total of seven lawsuits on Sunday evening (including two additional lawsuits in addition to those filed by the outlet cited).
The lawyer said in a statement provided to the newspaper that day: “We will let the allegations in the complaints filed speak for themselves and will do our best to ensure that justice is served. We anticipate that we will continue to file cases naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants on a weekly basis as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the files.”
In Buzbee’s Oct. 14 filing, the allegations against Diddy include aggravated sexual assault, sexual abuse and the sexual assault of a 16-year-old boy. Diddy’s lawyers denied the allegations that same day, releasing a statement that read, “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defense and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, male or female.”
Diddy is currently incarcerated in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Celebrities are weighing in after the recent arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The music mogul was taken into custody in New York on September 16. The next day, a fourteen-page indictment was made public alleging that Diddy “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him.” The rapper has now entered a not guilty plea […]
The day after his arrest on September 6, a fourteen-page indictment was released accusing him of abusing, threatening and coercing women “to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his behavior.”
Diddy had pleaded not guilty to all charges. Through his legal team, he has also made three individual – and unsuccessful – requests for provisional release ahead of his trial scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025.
The new wave of lawsuits against Diddy comes after a woman named Ashley Parham filed a lawsuit on Tuesday, October 15, detailing allegations that Diddy and several other men assaulted her during a “forcible gangbang-style rape” in 2018 after she suggested Diddy was involved in Tupac Shakur‘s 1996 murder.
