Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was the subject of a fourth wave of sexual misconduct lawsuits filed on Tuesday night by Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee and his California co-counsel Andrew Van Arsdale, according to court documents obtained by Rolling Stone . Five more anonymous accusers — three men and two women — claim they were sexually assaulted, abused and/or exploited by Combs in incidents dating back to 2001 in New York and Miami. One woman claims she was 18 years old when she was drugged and forced to perform oral sex on Combs and his bodyguards in a limousine while attending a Halloween party in 2001.
Following a night out at a popular Miami nightclub in 2022, one man claims that he was invited back to Combs’ Florida mansion for an after-party, where he was allegedly drugged and led into a bedroom where a small group of men and women were waiting. The man claims that he lost consciousness and awoke to Combs allegedly sexually assaulting him. Combs denied all claims of sex abuse.
“As his legal team has said before, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process,” his media team said in a statement to Rolling Stone . Combs, 55, is already the subject of more than two dozen lawsuits alleging predatory behavior ranging from sexual harassment to drugging and rape.
He also is fighting a criminal prosecution and has been held in a federal jail in Brooklyn since his Sept. 16 arrest. The founder of Bad Boy Entertainment pleaded no.
