Rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been hit with a third lawsuit alleging sexual assault.
The new complaint from an anonymous accuser alleges Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping the plaintiff and her friend in 1990 or 1991 – and that Diddy turned violent during a rage days later.
In the filing, Jane Doe alleges she and her friend met Diddy and Hall at an event hosted by MCA Records, the distributor of Uptown Records, at the company’s offices in New York.
“Combs and Hall were very flirtatious and handsy with Jane Doe and her friend, offering them drinks throughout the night,” the complaint reads.
As the event was winding down, Combs and Hall allegedly invited the women back to Hall’s apartment for an afterparty.
“While at Hall’s apartment, Jane Doe was offered more drinks and was coerced into having sex with Combs,” the filing claims.
The lawsuit claims that after Combs finished doing his business, Jane Doe lay in bed, shocked and traumatized, and as she was in the process of getting dressed, Hall barged into the room, pinned her down, and forced Jane Doe to couple with him.
The complaint says Jane Doe quickly got dressed and fled from Hall’s residence after the alleged rape. It alleges she later spoke to her friend and learned the other woman had been forced to have a coupling with Combs and Hall in another room.
“Upon information and belief, when Combs finished with Jane Doe, he and Hall switched,” the filing states.
A couple of days after the assaults, Combs allegedly visited the home where Jane Doe and her friend were staying and turned violent.
“He was irate and began assaulting and choking Jane Doe to the point that she passed out,” the complaint alleges. “Combs was searching for Jane Doe’s friend because he was worried that she would tell the girl he was with at the time what he and Hall had done to them.”
Alongside Hall and Combs, the suit names MCA Music Entertainment and Geffen Records as defendants.
The lawsuit, filed in New York County Supreme Court, alleges Jane Doe “informed her close friends and family about what had occurred.”
It claims she sought medical treatment “to heal from the trauma visited upon her by Combs and Hall.”
The complaint against Combs comes a week after he settled a lawsuit by his longtime partner, R&B singer Casandra Ventura, who once recorded for his label as Cassie, accusing him on Nov. 16 of physical and sexual abuse for over a decade. Combs had strongly denied all the allegations.
A second accuser, Joi Dickerson-Neal, filed a lawsuit earlier on Thursday that alleges Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her when she was a Syracuse University college student in 1991.
He is also accused of videotaping the crime and distributing the tape to others in the music industry. Through a rep, Diddy denied the allegation, calling it “made up and not credible” and “a money grab.”
The new filings are one of many filed this week against public figures under New York’s Adult Survivors Act that expired after Thanksgiving.
The law opened a one-year window to file sexual abuse claims that would otherwise be barred by the statute of limitations and allows such lawsuits to be filed in court even if the statute of limitations has run out.
