Sean “Diddy” Combs is again under intense legal scrutiny amid his federal prosecution. Six new civil lawsuits were filed against the music mogul on Monday, October 14, in Manhattan federal court.
These lawsuits mark the beginning of a wave of cases promised by Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, who previously announced plans to file 120 suits against Diddy and others for various alleged misconduct.
The most notable of the new cases involves a man, referred to as John Doe, who claims that Diddy sexually assaulted him when he was 16 years old, just like Nick Cannon. The alleged incident occurred during one of Diddy’s infamous White Parties in 1998.
According to the lawsuit, Diddy met the teenager at the party, and what began as a friendly conversation took a disturbing turn. The complaint alleges that Diddy manipulated the young man’s genitals, framing it as a “rite of passage” for aspiring stars.
This accusation is just one of six filed on Monday. The cases cover incidents that span multiple decades, from a 1995 promotional event for the Notorious B.I.G.’s One More Chance music video to a 2021 party in New York. Among the claims are additional allegations from another White Party in 2006.

All of the individuals bringing forth these claims have chosen to remain anonymous. Four of the six plaintiffs are men, while two are women. The cases add further weight to Diddy’s already mounting legal challenges, who has been fighting off accusations in both civil and criminal cases in recent years.
Diddy’s legal team, led by attorney Erica Wolff, has firmly denied all allegations, emphasizing that the lawsuits are part of an orchestrated effort to attract media attention. His attorneys remain confident that the truth will come to light through the judicial process, asserting that Combs has never committed any acts of sexual assault against either minors or adults.
