New Lawsuits Allege Diddy's 'Pervasive Pattern of Abuse Toward Women, Men and Minors': 'Shockingly Typical'

Six accusers — four men and two women — claim Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually abused them in separate complaints filed on Tuesday, Nov. 19, as the allegations against the music mogul continue to pile up.

Five of the latest plaintiffs, none of whom are named, are represented by high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee, who previously announced he was representing more than 100 people accusing Combs of misconduct.

The five complaints filed by Buzbee’s clients claim that the alleged abuse is part of a pattern of wrongdoing committed by Combs.

“For years Combs and his businesses engaged in a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women, men and minors,” the complaints all allege. “This abuse was, at times, verbal, emotional, physical and sexual. As part of his pattern of abuse, Combs manipulated both men and women to participate in highly-orchestrated performances of sexual activity with both commercial sex workers and unsuspecting partygoers.”

All five complaints claim the abuse allegedly committed by Combs was “shockingly typical,” and that the Bad Boy Records founder believed he was “above the law.”

The latest complaints date back to 2001, when an unnamed actor says he was sexually assaulted by Combs after flying to New York under the pretense of possibly starring in a music video.

The plaintiff alleges that after being asked to turn around, Combs said, “He’ll do.”

The actor says he was then offered Diet Coke, which he claims was drugged and caused him to pass out. When he awoke, the plaintiff alleges that Combs was sodomizing him. After losing consciousness again, the plaintiff claims he was raped by another man.

Another accuser alleges in a complaint that she was also sexually assaulted by Combs and other unidentified men after being drugged in a limousine in New York City. The woman, who was 18, at the time, said she was forced to perform oral sex and that Combs sprayed champagne on her while she did so.

In another complaint, a third plaintiff claims that she was drugged and sexually assaulted during Combs’ Fourth of July party on Long Island in 2004. The woman says she was 17 years old at the time of the alleged assault and that Combs threatened to “ruin her” if she spoke about the incident.

Two men claim that they were both sexually assaulted by Combs in separate 2022 complaints. One accuser, who was 39 at the time of the alleged incident, claims he was drugged and awoke in “dark bedroom with black walls, on a bed with black sheets,” as Combs allegedly sodomized him.

The other man says he was invited to a party in Miami after meeting Combs’ associates at a club. The man alleges that he was drugged and sexually assaulted by the mogul, who the plaintiff says had a “disturbing smile.”

Combs has been named as a defendant in scores of lawsuits accusing him of sexual abuse. 

Combs has denied committing any sexual abuse. His attorneys previously said in a statement following the first wave of complaints filed by Buzbee’s clients that the mogul “cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,” but that he “emphatically” denied sexually abusing anyone.

He is also currently behind bars after he was denied bail following his federal indictment on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. 

A third bail hearing for Combs is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 21.
