Sitting in Brooklyn’s infamous Metropolitan Detention Middle after being arrested final week for sex trafficking and more, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is now going through yet one more sexual assault lawsuit, with dozens extra probably looming.
In an motion filed at the moment in New York Metropolis, a Florida-based former mannequin claims the ‘Unhealthy Boy For Life’ performer intimidated her, drugged her, raped her and impregnated her over a number of years beginning in 2021. Although Jane Doe claims that associates of Combs pressured her to have an abortion, she really misplaced the kid attributable to a miscarriage.
Nonetheless, allegedly pressured to take ketamine, booze, have intercourse with different women and men, the nameless plaintiff additionally says Combs tried to regulate her motion out and in of her and his properties. All of which sadly provides as much as an M.O. widespread to the accusations from almost one dozen different people in opposition to the Grammy winner since ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura went public in November 2020 along with her claims of assault, abuse, violence and vindictiveness from Combs.
In language additionally widespread to a lot of the different lawsuits and accusations in opposition to Combs, the brand new 14-page submitting particulars how after spending time with the rapper, the plaintiff ceaselessly “would get up with bruising and accidents however with no recollection of how she sustained her accidents.”
Represented by lawyer Joseph L. Ciaccio, managing companion of NYC-based agency Napoli Shkolnik’s Private Harm Apply, Jane Doe is in search of a swath of unspecified damages.
This newest go well with comes three days after Thalia Graves filed her personal motion within the Empire State courts allegedly that Combs and a bodyguard rape her in 2001 and have been selling footage of the attack for years.
As appears to be the case with nearly all of the allegations in opposition to Combs, it didn’t finish there. “Following the assault and a number of occasions through the years, each Combs and Sherman contacted Plaintiff and warned her to be silent, threatening repercussions together with Plaintiff probably shedding custody of her son if she ever disclosed the assault,” the three-claim civil go well with from the Gloria Allred-represented Graves says.
Arrested by the feds on Sept. 16 at a Manhattan resort, the continuing probe from US Lawyer Damian Williams’ workplace costs Combs with intercourse trafficking, racketeering and transportation to interact in prostitution. The allegations within the unsealed indictment may see the 54-year-old rapper in jail for the remainder of his life if he’s discovered responsible.
Denying nearly all claims in opposition to him over the previous few months, Combs has plead not guilty within the DOJ case. Late final yr, Combs initially known as Ventura’s claims a case of “blatant blackmail,” earlier than settling a day later for round $30 million. Nevertheless, when the 2016 safety footage of Combs beating Ventura within the halls of a LA resort emerged on Might 17, the rapper shortly took to social media to apologize for his “inexcusable” habits — an apology not too many individuals seen as real with different instances piling up.
To that, it seems the NYC grand jury heard testimony at the moment from a male intercourse employee who says he participated in Combs’ sordid “Freak Offs,” sources inform me. US Lawyer Williams has made it clear that the investigation into Combs is constant. This newest testimony may result in extra costs, although nothing has been determined but, I’m instructed.
Even within the unlikely occasion there aren’t extra costs coming from the feds, it appears there are extra costs coming from the Lone Star state.
In a social media publish Friday, Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee says his agency has been named “lead Counsel to pursue claims on behalf of greater than fifty people who suffered sexual assault and abuse by the hands of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his cohorts.” Promising a press convention “early subsequent week” and asking others to return ahead, Buzbee goes on to say: “This group of courageous people embrace each women and men; many had been minors when the abuse occurred. A few of these courageous people reported the incidents to the police, others didn’t.”
Neither Buzbee nor Ciaccio responded to request for touch upon the issues they’re dealing with respectively. Reps for Combs additionally didn’t reply to request for remark from Deadline on the allegations. If any of them do reply, this publish will probably be up to date.
Refused release on $50 million bond and residential detention on September 18, Combs has no trial date but within the federal case, but it surely seems each the prosecutor and the protection wish to transfer quick to get issues earlier than a jury.
