In court documents, a woman accusing Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of sexual assault has claimed that he used offensive language and made threats towards her before the alleged assault.
The woman, who remains unnamed, detailed the events that she says took place in Los Angeles in 2016, in a complaint submitted to the New York State Supreme Court and later reported by People on February 13.
According to the complaint, the woman stated that after she turned down a drink offer from Combs, 55, and his group at a club in L.A., the rapper reacted aggressively towards her.
“Bitch, I’m not asking you. Drink that s– and shut the f— up,” he reportedly replied, per the legal document’s claims.
According to the complaint, the woman felt pressured to consume the drink, after which Combs allegedly placed his arm around her, then “shoved his left hand up her skirt, forcefully penetrating her with his fingers while telling the plaintiff, “Bitch, I do what I want, take that s—.”
The complaint also claimed Combs laughed at her attempts to rebuff him and appeared “amused by her distress.”
Combs’ accuser also alleged in the legal document that she felt “felt dizzy, light-headed, and unable to stand without support” after she returning to her hotel via taxi and the following morning discovered injuries such as tearing and bruising around her genital area, “likely resulting from the assault.” (Combs is not accused of spiking her drink in the complaint.)
Combs’ attorneys denied the music mogul has perpetrated any acts of sexual violence in a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday, February 13.
“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,” the statement reads. “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 is facing more than two dozen lawsuits and has been in jail since September 2024, when he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. A 14-page indictment claimed that Diddy “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him” for decades. (The rapper has denied all charges against him via his legal team.)
