Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has slammed the recent sexual assault allegations made against him, after being accused of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in a new lawsuit.
Last month, the 54-year-old was accused of rape and violent behavior in legal documents by his ex-girlfriend, Cassie – real name Casandra Ventura – but the claims were settled the next day, and he denied any wrongdoing.
He was then hit with a second lawsuit amid allegations that he drugged and date-raped a college student, and later shared a ‘revenge porn’ style video of the abuse.
An unnamed woman became the third to come forward, claiming that the rapper and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns taping her and a friend, before ‘choking her in a violent rage’.
In the fourth lawsuit in just a few weeks, another woman – known only as Jane Doe – alleged that she was attacked by the music mogul, when she was a teenager.
In documents obtained by Variety, she claimed that she was flown on a private jet from Michigan to Combs’ recording studio in New York in 2003, where she was given ‘copious amounts’ of drugs and alcohol.
The outlet reports that she alleged she was raped by Combs and two others, including Harve Pierre, the former president of his Bad Boy Entertainment company – who has been named in a separate lawsuit over claims of sexual assault and grooming.
She claimed that she went in and out of consciousness as the I’ll Be Missing You musician raped her, and then watched on as a third man also raped her.
Doe reportedly decided to come forward with the allegations after Ventura and another unnamed woman filed lawsuits against Combs and Pierre.
‘As a result of being raped by Mr Combs, Mr Pierre and the Third Assailant, Ms Doe suffered significant emotional distress and feels of shame that have plagued her life and personal relationships for 20 years,’ the paperwork states, via Variety.
‘Seeing two other women bravely speak out against Mr Combs and Mr Pierre, respectively, gave Ms Doe the confidence to tell her story as well.’
The documents have been filed in New York under the statute against gender-motivated violence – which was recently extended.
‘As alleged in the complaint, Defendants preyed on a vulnerable high school teenager as part of a sex trafficking scheme that involved plying her with drugs and alcohol and transporting her by private jet to New York City where she was gang raped by the three individual defendants at Mr Combs’ studio,’ her lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, said in a statement.
‘The depravity of these abhorrent acts has, not surprisingly, scarred our client for life.’
Combs has since shared a statement on social media, vehemently denying all allegations made against him.
‘Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,’ he wrote.
‘Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday.
‘Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.’
