Increasing legal challenges directed towards Sean "Diddy" Combs
More legal troubles are headed for Sean "Diddy" Combs. A lady from Florida filed a civil lawsuit against the artist on Friday (local time) in New York, charging him with sexual misconduct. According to her legal team, she prefers to remain anonymous.
For years, she alleges, Combs exerted pressure on her and coerced her into non-consensual acts, as reported by U.S. media from the lawsuit. She asserts she was drugged and sustained injuries, including a bite wound. She also alleges that intimate scenes were recorded without her consent.
This wasn't Combs' first lawsuit this week. On Tuesday, a woman in New York accused the rapper and one of his staff members of rape, forced oral sex, and recording the brutal incident, which were later distributed and sold as pornography. The incident allegedly occurred in 2001 in New York. The then 25-year-old woman accuses in the lawsuit that she was deceived into visiting Combs' studio. There, after consumption of a drink that was likely drugged, she lost consciousness. She alleges she was bound and then assaulted brutally by both men.
More Lawsuits Threatened
A law firm in Houston is threatening more lawsuits. They claim they will represent over 50 women and men, the firm announced. "I expect many more victims to come forward," said lawyer Tony Buzbee in a statement. They plan to disclose more details next week.
Combs ("Bad Boy for Life", "I'll Be Missing You") was taken into custody in New York last week. The federal indictment against the rapper accuses him of abusing, threatening, and coercing women over decades to satisfy his sexual desires and maintain his reputation. The rapper pleaded not guilty. If found guilty on some or all counts, he faces life imprisonment. His lawyers failed in their attempt to secure his release from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on a million-dollar bail.
The filing of additional lawsuits against Sean "Diddy" Combs is being threatened by a law firm, aiming to represent over 50 women and men. Following the accusations of sexual misconduct and non-consensual acts, the entertainment industry is facing significant scrutiny with regards to Combs' conduct.
