Sean “Diddy” Combs has been named in three new New York lawsuits from alleged sexual assault victims.

An anonymous John Doe on Tuesday filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Southern New York, which was obtained by USA TODAY, that accuses Combs of forced labor, human and sex trafficking, sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment and breach of contract. John Doe, a former aspiring musician and entertainer in Las Vegas who says he was coerced into performing strip shows and sexual intercourse while under the influence due to “covert drugging,” believes “Combs had raped him” on “more than one occasion” and that he was blackmailed with footage captured by hidden cameras.

For around five years, Doe − represented by Los Angeles-based attorney Lisa Bloom − allegedly experienced “Combs instilling fear in (Doe), misleading (Doe) and manipulating him with promises that never materialized.”

Also on Tuesday, two Jane Does − represented by Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee − filed lawsuits in New York County Supreme Court alleging Combs sexually assaulted them in the 1990s.

When reached for comment, Combs’ legal team said, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted, or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor. 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 currently in jail after being denied bond multiple times and is scheduled to head to trial for his sex trafficking and racketeering charges on May 5. He has maintained his innocence amid more than two dozen civil lawsuits filed since November 2023 that have accused him of rape, trafficking and sexual abuse from the 1990s to 2024.

John Doe claims Diddy made ‘grandiose promises’ to help music career, coerced sexual performances

When he allegedly first met Combs in 2007, Doe was “one of the premier entertainers in the Las Vegas adult entertainment scene,” per his lawsuit. He claims Combs hired him through Doe’s agency “to perform a strip show in a hotel room in Las Vegas” and was requested two times after that. During these performances, Doe says, he consumed offered beverages and applied baby oil to his body while Combs and different women were in attendance.

The oil made Doe “unusually sleepy, disoriented, confused, exhausted, drowsy, weak, confused, sluggish, numb and alarmed by the sensation of being trapped in his own body,” his lawsuit states. While in this state, Doe was allegedly instructed by Combs to “engage in acts such as masturbating while Combs and the woman engaged in sexual intercourse.”

He says that after explaining he could not quit his work with the agency due to financial difficulties but hoped to be a musician one day, Combs “offered to listen to (Doe’s) music and expressed a willingness to help him advance his music career.” Doe claims he started accepting Combs’ invitations, issued “under the guise of listening to his music,” to travel to cities such as Las Vegas, New York City, Los Angeles and Miami “to impress Combs and earn the chance to become successful in the music industry.”

“At nearly every gathering, Combs issued grandiose promises of career assistance,” the lawsuit says, adding that Combs would pivot away from Doe’s music recordings each time and initiate encounters in which Doe would allegedly be directed to engage in sexual intercourse with women while experiencing effects from supposedly drugged baby oil, Viagra and “unknown substances.”

Doe says he felt “trapped” and “fearful” during these sessions, as Combs allegedly carried a firearm and “barricaded” entryways to confine participants in the room. After these alleged encounters, which Doe says could last at least 18 hours, Combs would pay “a sum of money that was substantially less than (Doe’s) rate.”

Around 2010, Doe says he realized “Combs had no intention of supporting” his career and attempted to distance himself for two years but “found himself trapped in an abusive cycle from which he felt he could not escape,” his lawsuit states. Their final alleged encounter was around November 2012, he claims, adding that these “traumatic experiences” have caused him “recurring and severe health issues” as well as “severe emotional and psychological trauma.”

“Combs’ conduct, which included rape, sexual assault, death threats, false imprisonment, covert drugging, covert surveillance, threats to disseminate the sex tapes resulting from the covert surveillance, and nonpayment or underpayments, was extreme and outrageous, going beyond all possible bounds of decency and utterly intolerable in a civilized community,” Doe’s lawsuit states.

Bloom, Doe’s attorney, also filed a lawsuit against Combs on behalf of Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard in September alleging sexual assault and battery, sex trafficking, gender discrimination and copyright infringement.

Jane Does sue Diddy, claiming non-consensual ‘group sexual activity’

Also on Tuesday, Tony Buzbee – who has said he is representing more than 100 alleged victims of Combs – submitted two complaints in New York state court on behalf of two women who claim they were sexually assaulted in incidents coordinated by Combs in the ’90s.

In one lawsuit, a Jane Doe who lives in New York City says she “suffered several incidences of sexual assault at Combs’ hands.” In one of these alleged encounters, she worked as a bottle service attendant for one of Combs’ white parties in 1997 and allegedly was “vaginally raped by Combs’ associates, at Combs’ direction, while Combs was present,” after drinking a supposedly drugged beverage.

A second alleged incident occurred in “the late 1990s” after encountering Combs at his Limelight nightclub party. Doe claims he took her and her friend against her will to a penthouse suite at the Trump Hotel, where the women “were drugged and forced to participate in group-sex activity.

In the second lawsuit, a Jane Doe who lives in California claims she was “forced to participate in group sexual activity” at Combs’ “private ‘shadow party’” in New York City in the 1990s. She alleges a second assault took place while she was dating one of the mogul’s security guards. Per her lawsuit, Doe was at Combs’ party at the Limelight and allegedly argued with the security guard before she and a friend were detained, then taken to the Trump Hotel.

In a penthouse suite, she says, the guard “assaulted her physically and sexually” while Combs watched before she and the friend “were forced to engage in a group sex activity that she did not want to participate in.”
