Sean Diddy Combs Hit with New Lawsuit, Allegations Include Sexual Assault and Revenge Porn

Sean "Diddy" Combs faces a second lawsuit within two weeks, alleging that he drugged and sexually assaulted a woman who also claims to have been a victim of alleged "revenge porn" by the music artist. The civil suit, filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act, lists Combs and his companies, including Bad Boy Entertainment, and is part of a surge of cases against high-profile men as the window to file under the state's look-back law comes to a close this week.

The lawsuit filed in New York Supreme Court requests a jury trial and aims to obtain compensation for the significant and lasting harm the plaintiff has experienced due to being drugged, sexually assaulted, abused, and subjected to revenge porn created and distributed by Sean Combs or P. Diddy.

According to a spokesperson for Combs, the allegations are fabricated and lacking credibility, and they characterize the lawsuit as a mere attempt to obtain money.

The spokesperson described the last-minute lawsuit as a perfect example of how a well-intentioned law can be manipulated. They continued by stating that Mr. Combs never assaulted the plaintiff and that she is implicating companies that did not even exist. A representative for Bad Boy Entertainment was unavailable for immediate comment.

Joi Dickerson-Neal, the alleged victim of the 1991 incident, was a student at Syracuse University at the time. She had previously appeared in a few music video clips with Combs.

She claimed in the lawsuit that, while on a school break for the holidays in January, she reluctantly agreed to have dinner with Combs at a Harlem restaurant, and that he later pushed her to keep him company while he attended to some matters in the city. The lawsuit also alleges that during their date, he intentionally drugged her, resulting in her being in a physical state where she could not stand or walk independently.

She allegedly left her drink unattended while at dinner, according to the lawsuit. It also claims that she took a puff of a "blunt" in the car under pressure from Combs, after which her memory became incomplete.

The lawsuit claims that after driving the woman to a music studio where she was unable to leave the car, Combs then took her to a location where he was staying and sexually assaulted her.

The lawsuit also states that due to being drugged, the plaintiff was unable to physically or mentally resist Combs.

Combs is accused of filming the sexual assault, and a few days later, Dickerson learned from a male friend that he had seen the video.

Shocked, Ms. Dickerson inquired about the number of people who had seen it, and he replied, "Everyone."

Afterwards, Dickerson claims that her life spiraled out of control, leading to her hospitalization for severe depression and suicidal thoughts, as stated in the lawsuit. The lawsuit also states that Dickerson filed police reports with various agencies in New York and New Jersey and talked to "several prosecutors" in an attempt to press charges, only to be told that her "allegations would need to be substantiated."

The lawsuit claims that Combs had achieved "significant success" in launching the career of the late Notorious B.I.G., including his hit single Juicy charting on Billboard. Witnesses were allegedly "terrified" of retaliation from Combs and feared losing future business and music opportunities if they supported the accuser. Despite her allegations of "emotional pain," the accuser continued to work in the music industry at a DJ management company after the incident, according to the suit.

After Combs' fame continued to grow and his influence became widespread, she ultimately departed, as stated in the lawsuit. The court documents claim that it was the legal action taken regarding his mistreatment of Cassie Venture [sic] on November 16, 2023, that compelled her to confront his attack once more.

Ventura, Combs' ex-girlfriend, alleged in a lawsuit that the rapper and producer had subjected her to sexual abuse, rape, and trafficking over the course of several years. Combs stated that the lawsuit was settled "amicably" just one day after it was filed. His representative emphasized that the settlement did not imply any admission of guilt and did not weaken his strong denial of the allegations.
