“It’s not about money,” Dickerson-Neal, who filed suit against Diddy, 54, in New York Supreme Court in November 2023, told the outlet. “It’s about making sure the world sees that this man who rose to ‘icon’ status is actually sick and has left so many victims (in the wake of his) years of unpunished, disgusting behavior.”

According to Dickerson-Neal, Combs “drugged, sexually assaulted and abused” her during their meeting.

McKinney, 43, shared her own alleged experience with the outlet.

“I had a whole future (as a model) ahead of me that was stolen from me. To be sexually assaulted and not have a chance to fight back is so painful,” said the model, who filed suit against Combs on Tuesday, May 21.

McKinney claimed she met Diddy in 2003 at a Men’s Fashion Week event at Cipriani Downtown in New York City and that he then invited her to his music studio. She claimed that some of his colleagues were present in the studio drinking Hennessy and passing around joints. McKinney smoked a joint and claimed it felt “very strong” to the point that she felt like she was floating.

In the filing, McKinney said she believed the joint was laced with a narcotic or other drug. She claimed Combs then forced her to perform oral sex on him.

The report also included comments from a third woman, a then 17-year-old “Jane Doe from the Detroit area,” who accused Diddy of gang raping her in 2003.

Rolling Stone reported that it was “incredibly difficult” for Doe to go public with her story, but that she was “encouraged” to do so after hearing the “voices of other women.”

“It is important to remember that not only Combs, but all those who acted with him, remained silent and actively covered up his conduct must be held accountable,” she said.

Combs’ attorney did not respond to the specific allegations made by the three women mentioned in the report, but issued a statement to Rolling Stone.

“Mr. Combs cannot comment on concluded litigation, will not comment on pending litigation, and cannot respond to every allegation the press picks up from any source, no matter how unreliable,” said attorney Jonathan Davis told the outlet. “We are aware that the relevant authorities are conducting a thorough investigation and are therefore confident that all important issues will be addressed in the relevant forum where the rules distinguish fact from fiction.”

We weekly has asked Diddy’s team for comment.

The shocking report comes after several women made allegations against Combs.

Us confirmed in November 2023 that Cassie (real name Casandra Ventura) filed suit against Diddy, accusing him of rape and repeated physical abuse that lasted nearly a decade. Cassie and Diddy dated on and off from 2007 to 2018.
