Los Angeles, CA – Sean Combs, better known by his stage name Diddy, is facing new allegations of sexual assault from a male music producer.
The lawsuit, filed in New York federal court, alleges that Diddy drugged and assaulted the producer after a party in 2017.
The producer, who is seeking $30 million in damages, claims that Diddy invited him to his home after a party at the Playboy Mansion. He says that he was given a drink that made him feel “loopy and disoriented,” and that he then passed out. The producer woke up to find Diddy on top of him, allegedly assaulting him.
Diddy has denied the allegations, calling them “baseless and frivolous.” His lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said in a statement that “Mr. Combs has never engaged in any wrongdoing, and he will vigorously defend himself against these scurrilous claims.”
The new allegations against Diddy come just months after he was sued by singer Cassie Ventura, who accused him of sexual assault, battery, and emotional distress. Ventura, who dated Diddy for over a decade, alleged that he subjected her to years of abuse, including physical violence, sexual coercion, and threats.
Diddy has also been accused of sexual misconduct by several other women, including former Bad Boy Records artist Misa Hylton and model Gina Huen. He has denied all of the allegations.
The allegations against Diddy are part of a larger pattern of sexual misconduct in the music industry. In recent years, dozens of high-profile music figures have been accused of sexual assault, harassment, and other forms of misconduct. These include R. Kelly, Russell Simmons, and Dr. Luke.
The #MeToo movement has helped to raise awareness of sexual misconduct in the music industry and other workplaces. As a result, more women are coming forward to share their stories and hold their abusers accountable.
The allegations against Diddy are serious and should be investigated thoroughly. If the allegations are true, Diddy should be held accountable for his actions. No one is above the law, not even a powerful music mogul.
