• Sean “Diddy” Combs faces five new sexual assault lawsuits, including one involving a minor.

• Combs’ attorney has denied the allegations, calling the lawsuits “publicity stunts” by attorney Tony Buzbee.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing five new sexual assault lawsuits, including one that accuses the hip-hop mogul of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl on one of his famous Fourth of July dates. white parties in the Hamptons.

The plaintiff, now an adult identified only in court documents as “Jane Doe” of Texas, alleges in the lawsuit that as a teenage model, she attended a white-themed date with Combs on July 4, 2004, at his mansion in Hamptons.

“The event was lavishly decorated, featured live music performances and boasted top-notch food and beverages — an atmosphere of opulence and luxury, filled with celebrities,” the suit, filed late Tuesday in New York federal court, says . “Many unsuspecting individuals, like the complainant, were recruited to attend these parties.”

The woman claims that while at the party, she was drugged through a laced drink and eventually passed out.

“When she woke up, the plaintiff’s underwear was missing and she felt throbbing pains in her vaginal and anal areas,” the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit alleges that at one point Combs and two of his bodyguards approached the then-teenager and threatened her.

“Combs told the plaintiff that she would be in danger if she spoke about what happened, stating that he was ‘running New York and he was going to ruin her,'” the suit says, adding, “At this point, the plaintiff admitted that at least Combs sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious. She feared for her life.”

The lawsuit does not say how the plaintiff was able to determine that Combs was the person who assaulted her.

Erica Wolff, an attorney for Combs, denied the allegations in the lawsuits in a statement to Business Insider on Wednesday. She slammed the Texas attorney behind the latest batch of suits and others to be filed against the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper.

“As his legal team has said before, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process,” Wolff said. “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone – male or female, adult or minor.”

Tony Buzbee’s law firm has filed more than 20 lawsuits against Combs

Following Combs’ arrest and indictment in September on federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, Texas attorney Tony Busbee said at a press conference that his firm is representing 120 accusers with sexual misconduct allegations against Combs.

Since October, Buzbee’s firm has filed more than 20 lawsuits on behalf of anonymous male and female plaintiffs against Combs, some alleging drug and child rape. Two of those lawsuits allege the sexual assaults occurred at Combs’ white house parties in 1998 and 2006.

The five new lawsuits filed this week against Combs, who remains in prisonwere among those filed by Buzbee and his firm.

In one of those lawsuits, an unnamed Florida man claims he was drugged and raped by Combs at a 2022 party in Miami, where many of the 50 or so partygoers were “recognized public figures.” The plaintiff said that as she passed out, Combs “was wearing a disturbing smile” and told her, “this is what you want.”

An unnamed woman claims in a separate lawsuit that in 2001, when she was 18, she was drugged and ordered by Combs to perform oral sex on his bodyguards and then on him inside a limo after he attended at a Halloween party in a club in Manhattan.

Another unnamed man claims in a lawsuit filed this week that in 2001, as an actor auditioning for a role in one of Combs’ music videos, he was drugged, anally raped by Combs and orally raped by a member of his entourage in a new event. hotel room in York City.

Plaintiff, like others, accuses Combs of using his industry power and prominence to hip-hop mogul to draw it into its orbit.

Another male plaintiff claims in one of the lawsuits filed this week that in 2022, at a New York party hosted by Combs, he was drugged and sodomized by Combs.

“Plaintiff, in a state of shock and confusion, forcefully fought Combs off and fled the room, making his way to a nearby bathroom,” the suit says.

Buzbee said in a statement posted on Instagram Tuesday that it expects to file weekly filings “naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings.”

Meanwhile, a mystery celebrity sued Buzbee in a lawsuit this week of orchestrating an extortion plot designed to destroy his reputation.

“With Combs behind bars and payments not forthcoming, the defendants devised a scheme to obtain payments through the use of coercive threats from anyone connected to Combs,” according to Monday’s lawsuit against Buzbee.

Buzbee said the lawsuit was “not only without legal merit” but also “laughable.”

Wolff, Combs’ attorney, told BI on Wednesday: “The racketeering lawsuit against Mr. Buzbee exposes his barrage of lawsuits against Mr. Combs for what they are: shameless publicity stunts designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear lies are spread about them. , just as lies were spread about Mr. Combs.”
