New Allegations Surface Amid Ongoing Legal Battles
A New York woman has come forward with disturbing allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, claiming she was drugged and abandoned on a Manhattan street after attending his concert in 2011. This accusation adds to the growing list of legal troubles faced by the once-celebrated music mogul, who is currently behind bars awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
The woman, whose identity remains protected, recounts a harrowing experience that began backstage at a Diddy-Dirty Money concert. According to her account, she was given a drink and subsequently blacked out, only to regain consciousness on a sidewalk near her car. The gravity of her claims is underscored by medical evidence: a sexual assault examination at a hospital revealed the presence of date rape drug in her system, though thankfully, no signs of penetration were found.
A Pattern of Accusations
This latest allegation is far from an isolated incident in Combs’ recent history. The music industry titan has been served with 18 civil lawsuits, encompassing a range of serious accusations including physical assault, rape, and various other charges related to his business ventures. Notable accusers include his former long-time partner, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, whose lawsuit settlement opened the floodgates for other claims.
“The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning. Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past,” Ventura said.
The severity of these allegations has not gone unnoticed by federal authorities. In a decisive move, federal agents raided Combs’ properties as part of an ongoing investigation into abuse accusations. The gravity of the situation was further emphasized when a judge denied Combs bail, citing him as a threat to the community.

Combs’ Defense and Public Response
Despite the mounting evidence and accusations, Combs has maintained his innocence. Through his legal team, he has vehemently denied all allegations, characterizing them as baseless attempts to tarnish his reputation for financial gain. Combs himself has stated, “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged.” His lawyer echoed this sentiment, asserting that Combs “didn’t do these things.”
U.S. Attorneys disagree. “Simply put, he is a serial abuser and a serial obstructor,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson
However, the sheer volume and consistency of the accusations paint a troubling picture. The alleged incidents span decades, with some dating back 30 years, as in the case of April Lampros, who filed a lawsuit claiming Combs subjected her to an abusive relationship that included multiple instances of sexual assault.
