Three more accusers who are male have come forward with sexual assault lawsuits against Diddy, who wants to “seek sanctions” on other lawsuits.
On Thursday (Dec. 12), three more male accusers filed sexual assault lawsuits against Diddy in New York’s Supreme Court. The plaintiffs all allege that Diddy drugged them and then sodomized them in incidents that took place from 2019 to 2022. These new suits add to the over 30 suits already filed against the embattled mogul.
Each of the three allegations made comes with certain nuanced differences – one of the accusers claimed that the alleged rape was filmed by Diddy’s associates and that he was paid $2,500. The others did not mention receiving any payoff after their attacks. Two of the accusers alleged that they were raped in hotel suites – one of them claiming that their attack took place at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan, where Diddy was apprehended by federal agents in September. The other plaintiff alleged that he was drugged and woke up to Diddy sodomizing him along with other Bad Boy Records members at one of his parties in the Hamptons.
In an interview with the BBC, the attorney representing the accusers, Thomas Giuffra, said that nearly 60 people reached out to his office wishing to file complaints against Diddy, aka Sean Combs. He said that he and his team reviewed the allegations made by each, then proceeded to move forward with the three cases, shielding the accusers’ identities for fear of reprisal from Diddy.
“These complaints are full of lies. We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him,” lawyers for Diddy said after the new lawsuits were filed. Diddy is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting his trial on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The trial is set for May 2025.
