Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been accused of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl with another unnamed celebrity while another ‘female’ celebrity watched.
Since being arrested and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been hit with over 100 lawsuits accusing the rapper of sexual misconduct.
And seven more were filed against the rapper last night (October 20), with one alleging that Combs ‘drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl at a house party’.
The incident is alleged to have occurred on September 7, 2000 when the teenager tried to get into the Video Music Awards (VMAs) at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
The lawsuit states the 13-year-old didn’t get into the awards ceremony, but was told by a limo driver Combs ‘liked younger girls’ and she ‘fit what Diddy was looking for’ and invited to an after-party instead.
The victim claims she was driven to the party, signed an NDA agreement and given a drink which was spiked.
When she began feeling unwell, growing ‘woozy and lightheaded’ she went to find a bedroom to lie down in however, she says Combs and two celebrities – who remain unnamed in the lawsuit – followed her into the room.
In the lawsuit, the victim says Celebrity A – a male celebrity – ‘held her down and vaginally raped her while Combs and Celebrity B, a female, watched’ and when Celebrity A ‘finished,’ Combs came over.
“Combs then vaginally raped Plaintiff while the Celebrity A and Celebrity B watched,” the lawsuit continues.

The victim says what happened to her led her to ‘f[a]ll into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life’.
Other of the seven new lawsuits filed yesterday involve a 17-year-old boy, an unidentified man who was told Combs ‘could make him a star’ and claims he was also drugged and sexually assaulted.
Another man is stated as being a personal trainer and also claims to have been drugged and sexually assaulted and a man from New York said he was aged 21 working for a private security firm when he was allegedly assaulted by Combs.
Combs remains behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn in New York, he’s pleaded not guilty to the charges of racketeering snd sex trafficking and his trial is currently expected to take place in May next year.
Combs’ attorney Erica Wolff previously told UNILAD: “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.
“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.

“He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
In response to the latest allegations, Combs’ lawyers have filed a motion seeking to prohibit ‘further extrajudicial statements from prospective witnesses and their lawyers that substantially interfere with Mr. Combs’s right to a fair trial’.
Combs’ representatives told UNILAD in the latest statement: “The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity.
“Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.”
