The hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing even more legal trouble as six new civil lawsuits have been filed against him in a federal court in New York. The accusations include sexual assault allegations from three men and three women who claim they were assaulted at various parties in Los Angeles, New York, and Las Vegas.
What makes these new cases particularly disturbing is that the youngest plaintiff was only 13 years old at the time of the alleged incident. Mr. Combs, who is currently in custody at a Brooklyn jail, is already facing federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, which he vehemently denies.
According to the lawsuits, Mr. Combs or his associates allegedly drugged the plaintiffs’ beverages at events, causing them to feel dizzy, nauseous, and disconnected from their bodies. Some of the plaintiffs claim they were raped, forced into oral sex, or aggressively groped by Mr. Combs.
His legal team has dismissed the lawsuits as attempts to gain publicity, maintaining that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone, regardless of age or gender. However, the allegations paint a troubling picture of abuse of power and influence in the entertainment industry.
One of the new cases alleges that Mr. Combs and another male celebrity raped a 13-year-old girl at a party, while another accuses him of drugging and raping an independent musical artist. The lawsuits also detail instances of sexual misconduct towards men, including exposing himself and grabbing a man’s genitals in a rough manner.
With more than 100 clients reportedly planning to sue Mr. Combs for various forms of sexual misconduct, the legal battle ahead looks daunting for the hip-hop icon. As he awaits trial for the federal charges next year, the allegations against him continue to mount, painting a disturbing picture of abuse and exploitation in the music industry.
