Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing yet another sex trafficking lawsuit, this one accusing the hip-hop mogul of hiring an underage girl to work a sex party in Miami just a few years ago.
According to the lawsuit filed Friday and obtained by TMZ, an unidentified woman claims she was paid to attend a group sex event hosted by Diddy in or around 2020. She says she was only 15 at the time and had already been trafficked by various men for at least three years.
The woman claims she had already been drugged by a man described as her “trafficker” when she was taken to a warehouse, then into a curtained-off area with a bed in the middle. According to the legal documents, she was then forced to have sex with around 20 men for multiple hours.
While the woman says Diddy was not among those 20 men, she claims to have seen him having sex with another underage girl who was a part of her same trafficked group. She says she believes that girl was only 12 or 13 at the time.
The woman is seeking damages from Diddy and several John Does for sexual assault and aiding and abetting, according to TMZ.
The unnamed plaintiff is represented by attorney Tony Buzbee, who has filed dozens of lawsuits against Combs since last fall. On Friday, Buzbee said seven suits had been filed in New York State Court this week alone, accusing the rapper and several other defendants of sexual assault, battery and exploitation.
“The cases filed this week are being brought for conduct that allegedly occurred as far back as the year 1999 and as recent as 2022,” he wrote on Instagram. “The egregious conduct alleged in these filings occurred in Los Angeles, Miami and New York City. Three of the plaintiffs are male, and four of the plaintiffs are female.”
The latest lawsuit comes on the same day that a woman who accused Diddy and Jay-Z of raping her in 2000 filed documents to voluntarily dismiss the case. The woman, who alleged the assault occurred at a VMAs after-party when she was 13, previously admitted there were inconsistencies in her story.
Jay-Z has fiercely denied the allegations since the lawsuit was filed in December.
“Today is a victory. The frivolous, fictitious and appalling allegations have been dismissed,” the Roc Nation founder said in a statement on Friday. “This civil suit was without merit and never going anywhere. The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims. I would not wish this experience on anyone. The trauma that my wife, my children, my loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed.”
The 55-year-old Harlem native has maintained his innocence since his arrest in September.
“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,” Diddy’s legal team said in a statement to TMZ on Friday. “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.”
The federal trial against Combs is scheduled to begin May 5.
