Diddy faces a lawsuit from yet another former partner.
Several women have recently accused Sean "Diddy" Combs of drugging and mistreating them. In the last week alone, another woman is coming forward with charges against the renowned music producer.
The list of claims against rapper and music producer Sean "Diddy" Combs seems to never end. Only a few days ago, an ex-model named Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit against him. She claimed that he drugged and sexually assaulted her. As "NBC News" reports, another former lover is now accusing him of drugging and abusing her in the '90s.
The most recent woman to come forward with allegations against Combs is April Lampros, now 51 years old. On Thursday, she filed a lawsuit against the music mogul in the Supreme Court of New York County. In her lawsuit, she accuses him of drugging, assaulting, and abusing her on various occasions since 1995. Specifically, Lampros is suing Combs for assault, sexual assault, emotional distress, and gender-based violence.
"Aggressively" and "obsessively"
In her statement of claim, made available to "NBC News", Lampros describes how she first met Combs in 1994. At the time, she was studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. He had promised to connect her with industry contacts. But soon after, he began to behave "aggressively" and "obsessively" towards her. According to the lawsuit, Combs subsequently assaulted her sexually.
The first alleged sexual assault took place in a bar in 1995. In the claim, Lampros states that Combs urged her to drink. She expressed feeling "uncomfortable" after taking a few sips. She claims he then took her to a car to take her away with him. The lawsuit alleges he raped her in a hotel that night. Lampros states she begged him to stop before she passed out.
Lampros goes on to say that Combs sent her gifts and flowers for months after the incident. At that time, he had convinced her to give him another chance. However, Combs forced her to perform oral sex on him as they walked from his apartment to a parking garage in another incident. In another case, she was with his then-girlfriend, Kim Porter, at his Manhattan apartment, where he allegedly forced both women to take ecstasy and demanded sex from them.
"Justice will prevail"
According to the lawsuit, Lampros ended her relationship with Combs in 1998. Two years later, she encountered him at an event. Once again, he allegedly harassed her. She claims in the lawsuit that he called her for days afterward, and she eventually "reluctantly" met him to hear what he had to say. When they met, he suddenly rushed up to her, grabbed her, harassed her, and kissed and touched her without her consent. She managed to escape from his worst advances. In a statement on May 23, Lampros said: "I am confident that justice will prevail so that no other woman has to go through what I did." Representatives for Combs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Lampros' lawsuit is the latest in the series of allegations against the former rap star. In November 2023, he reached a settlement with his long-time partner, Casandra Ventura. Ventura had accused Diddy of various abuses during their ten-year relationship. Although he reached a settlement, he claimed it was not an admission of guilt. Some members of the public also had doubts about Ventura's claims before CNN published a shocking video from a surveillance camera from a hotel in Los Angeles. The video showed Combs storming through a hotel corridor, where he physically attacked Ventura, pushing, kicking, and dragging her across the floor. The 54-year-old later apologized for his actions in the surveillance footage in a controversial Instagram post.
