Diddy sued by 3 accusers, including man alleging baby oil used during assault was drugged
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." In a statement to USA TODAY, Bloom said, "I am very proud to represent my brave client in this new case. We will not rest until we get justice for him."
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.
