Sean “Diddy” Combs was accused Thursday of rape and sexual assault by three men in separately filed lawsuits alleging the rap impresario plied them with doctored drinks and then attacked them while they were unconscious.
The civil lawsuits, filed anonymously in New York state’s Supreme Court by lawyer Thomas Giuffra, involve incidents that happened between 2019 and 2022. All allege that Combs raped and sexually assaulted them.
One man alleged Combs’ associates threatened him into keeping quiet. Another alleged his assault was filmed and he was given cash after the attack. The third man alleged Combs and “his associates from Bad Boy Records” took turns sexually assaulting him.
The way Combs went after these men was “very consistent, frighteningly consistent, exactly consistent,” Giuffra told NBC News. “He would hit them with the drinks, knock them out.”
And when they woke up, “he’d be raping them,” the lawyer said.
The new complaints are the latest in the wave of lawsuits filed against Combs in recent months — all filed with complainants withholding their names — accusing Combs of assault and rape under similar circumstances with allegations going back to the 1990s. Combs has been behind bars since September when he was arrested by federal agents and accused of engaging in a years-long scheme to sexually abuse and exploit women.
