Diddy's dark side: New lawsuits against Sean Combs have harrowing allegations. What's next for US music mogul?

US hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy Combs" is facing new allegations of rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse after a series of six new lawsuits were filed against him on Monday. At least six fresh lawsuits were filed in New York federal court by two women and four men which include allegations that span from 1995 to 2021. In a series of lawsuits, multiple accusers have come forward with allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, detailing incidents from various events.

The lawsuits were filed anonymously, two by women identified as Jane Does and four by men identified as John Does. John Does in lawsuit alleged that Sean fondled his genitals when he was 16 years at one of the music mogul's white parties in Long Island's Hamptons in 1998, reported news agency AP.

The man alleged Sean "Diddy" Combs ordered the then-teen to "drop his pants" when they were having a conversation about possibly breaking into the music industry. According to the man's lawsuit, Combs explained to him that it was a rite of passage to becoming a music star, at one point asking the then-teen: "Don't you want to break into the business?"

The man said he complied out of fear, anxiety and power imbalance he felt with Combs, only realising later that what had happened was sexual assault.

Until Monday's lawsuit, Combs had only been accused in civil cases and his criminal indictment of sexual activity with adults.

The other lawsuits filed against Sean "Diddy" Combs in Manhattan include allegations of rape, forced oral sex and drugging to incapacitate victims. One of Jane Does alleged that Combs raped her in a hotel room in 2004, threatening to kill her if she did not comply. The other Jane Doe alleges Combs violently attacked and raped her in a bathroom in 2005 at a party for the late rapper Biggie Smalls' music video, "One More Chance."

The woman alleged that Sean Combs brought the woman into the bathroom to talk and started kissing her unexpectedly to which she resisted. She alleged Sean slammed slammed her head against the wall, causing her to fall to the floor and when she tried to escape, Combs hit her again and raped her.

Afterward, according to the woman, Combs nonchalantly adjusted his clothing and told her: "You better not tell anyone about this, or you will disappear."

In another John Doe lawsuit, a man working as a security guard at Combs' Hamptons white party in 2006 alleged the star gave him an alcoholic beverage that he came to believe was laced with a drug that made him feel extremely ill. The man alleges that Combs then pushed him into a van, held him down and sexually assaulted him.

On Monday, additional lawsuits filed against Combs, accuse him of serious misconduct. One man alleged that Combs forced him to perform oral sex in the stockroom of Macy's flagship store in Manhattan's Herald Square in 2008. In another case, a man claimed he was sexually assaulted by Sean "Diddy" Combs at a party in October 2021. The second man, who believes he was drugged, recalls multiple men assaulting him and distinctly remembers seeing Combs naked above him during the attack, the lawsuit said.

Sean "Diddy" Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, has been detained since his arrest on September 16. Judges have denied his bail requests, considering him a potential danger to the community and a risk to tamper with witnesses.
