The legal storm surrounding music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs continues to intensify as more individuals come forward with allegations of sexual assault and rape. This week, a twelfth accuser stepped forward, adding to the growing list of claims against the Grammy-winning artist. The latest lawsuit alleges that Combs drugged, raped, and intimidated a former model for several years. The plaintiff details a disturbing pattern of behavior, claiming Combs forced her to consume ketamine and alcohol while subjecting her to sexual encounters with others. The lawsuit also states that Combs impregnated the plaintiff, who was then pressured to have an abortion by his associates. Ultimately, the plaintiff suffered a miscarriage. This lawsuit follows closely on the heels of accusations by Thalia Graves, who alleges Combs and his bodyguard raped her in 2001. The incident was reportedly filmed and circulated over the years. These recent accusations join a growing chorus of voices. Nearly a dozen individuals have publicly accused Combs of similar misconduct since his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura first came forward with allegations in November 2020. Beyond the individual lawsuits, Combs faces serious federal charges. The Department of Justice indictment accuses Combs of leveraging his “power and prestige” to manipulate women and male sex workers into participating in drugged-up sexual performances dubbed “Freak Offs.” These events, often filmed and lasting days, allegedly involved Combs himself. The indictment further alleges that Combs coerced and abused women for years, often with the assistance of associates and employees. The indictment claims Combs used blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson, and physical beatings, to silence potential accusers. Combs has denied most of the allegations and pleaded not guilty in the Department of Justice case. However, the investigation is ongoing, with potential for additional charges. Testimony from a male sex worker regarding Combs’ alleged activities has recently surfaced. In a significant development, Houston attorney Tony Buzbee has announced that his firm is now representing over fifty individuals who claim to have suffered sexual abuse at the hands of Combs. This suggests that the number of accusers and allegations against the music mogul could continue to grow. The legal and public scrutiny surrounding Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs shows no signs of abating as more victims bravely come forward with their stories.
