Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing mounting legal troubles as two more lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault were filed on Friday in federal court in New York.
These allegations span decades, with one tied to a tragic 1991 charity basketball event and the other involving a party hosted by the music mogul in 2006.
The first lawsuit, filed by a Jane Doe and represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, alleges that the assault occurred in December 1991. The plaintiff claims she attended a charity basketball game at the City College of New York, which featured Diddy and Heavy D as headliners. The event tragically ended in a stampede that left nine people dead.
According to the lawsuit, before the tragic incident, Diddy allegedly took the woman to a locker room, offering her a drink that made her feel disoriented. The complaint states that Diddy then blocked her exit, made inappropriate advances, and eventually assaulted her. The plaintiff alleges that after the assault, she was warned not to disclose the incident.
The second lawsuit, filed by LaTroya Grayson, details an alleged assault that took place in 2006 at a Diddy-hosted event. Grayson claims she won an all-expenses-paid trip to New York City through a radio contest to attend one of Diddy’s exclusive white-themed parties. She alleges that after consuming two premade drinks at the event, she lost consciousness and later woke up in a hospital, disoriented, with missing personal items and torn clothing.
Grayson also alleges she received a threatening call after the incident, discouraging her from pursuing any action against Diddy.
Diddy’s legal representatives have denied the allegations, describing them as baseless and opportunistic. They expressed confidence in the judicial process to uncover the truth.
