Woman Claims She Desperately Tried to Text Husband Her Location Before Diddy Assaulted Her for Hours: Suit

A woman is suing Sean “Diddy” Combs, accusing the mogul of sexually assaulting her after a party in 1999.

The plaintiff, who is not named in the complaint obtained by PEOPLE, says she was 23 and working as a model and promotional employee when she attended a VIP party hosted by Combs in New York City.

The plaintiff claims she was introduced to Combs, and as the night wore on, the Bad Boy Records founder invited her to stay at his home so she wouldn’t have to worry about catching a train.

The plaintiff says she told Combs she was married and that in response, he promised there would be no inappropriate conduct.

Combs then allegedly took the woman back to his home in a car, according to the complaint. At that point, the plaintiff claims she started feeling extremely drowsy and “suspected she had been drugged.”

Inside the car, the woman saw several pieces of mail and began texting the address on the envelopes to her husband, in an effort to alert him to where she was going, the complaint states. The plaintiff claims the driver of the car saw her do this and attempted to move the mail out of view.

Once at Combs’ home, the woman says she was helped inside by the mogul, who, she claims, tried to pressure her into drinking more.

The woman alleges that Combs then led her to a bed and began making “unwanted physical advances,” according to the complaint.

The woman alleges she told Combs she was married and that she’d texted her husband the address, but that the defendant groped her and at one point penetrated her with his fingers over the course of about four hours.

In response to PEOPLE’s inquiries about the woman’s complaint, attorneys for Combs wrote: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed — especially by individuals who refuse to put their own names behind their claims — it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”

Combs has now been accused of sexual misconduct in several dozen lawsuits. He has consistently denied the allegations.

The mogul is currently behind bars in New York after a federal judge denied his bail following his September indictment on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He has pleaded not guilty.
