“Diddy” is being sued by another woman who claims the hip-hop mogul drugged and sexually abused her

A woman filed a lawsuit Thursday accusing music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting her after she met him more than 20 years ago while studying fashion in New York.

April Lampros claims in a lawsuit filed in New York County Supreme Court that Combs promised to mentor her and provide her with contacts in the industry before becoming “aggressive” and “coercive.” She is the sixth woman to detail assault allegations against Combs in a lawsuit, allegations that Combs has denied in previous testimony. (The Supreme Court is a trial court in New York state.)

Lampros, 51, says in the lawsuit that she met Combs in New York City in 1994 while she was studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She claims he sexually abused her four times, including once when he forced her to take ecstasy and have sex with Combs’ ex-girlfriend Kim Porter.

Years after she broke off ties with Combs, Lampros said, she learned that he had allegedly filmed the two having sex without her knowledge and shown the footage to others.

She is suing 54-year-old Combs for assault, sexual assault, infliction of emotional distress and gender-based violence.

Representatives for Combs did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday evening.

Allegations of four assaults

Lampros says in her lawsuit that Combs first sexually assaulted her in 1995 after they met at a New York bar. She claims Combs pressured her to drink alcohol.

After a few sips, she began to feel “uncomfortable” and was later led to a car to leave with Combs, the lawsuit says. They arrived at a hotel, where she continued to feel unwell. Lampros was lying on a hotel bed when Combs straddled her and began forcibly kissing her, the lawsuit says.

When Lampros turned her head, Combs grabbed her face and continued kissing her, the lawsuit says. He undressed her even though she indicated she was uncomfortable and begged him to stop, it says.

Lampros passed out when Combs raped her, the lawsuit says.

For months after the incident, Lampros said, Combs sent her gifts, cards and flowers in an attempt to lure her back. The lawsuit includes a photo of a card that was included with flowers Combs allegedly sent her for Valentine’s Day.

She agreed to meet with Combs to discuss business opportunities and give him a second chance, the lawsuit says.

Lampros claims she and Combs had just left his apartment to have dinner when another assault occurred in 1995. According to the lawsuit, they were on their way to the parking garage when a slightly intoxicated Combs forced Lampros to her knees.

According to the prosecution, he unzipped his pants and forced her to perform oral sex.

The lawsuit alleges that Combs became “angry, threatening and violent” after the encounter and rejected Lampros’ “decision to distance herself” by threatening her with physical violence and a blacklisting from the entire fashion industry.

The lawsuit describes a third sexual encounter in 1996. Combs claims Lampros forced him to perform sexual acts with Porter, who died of pneumonia in 2018.

Lampros claims she was with Porter at Combs’ Manhattan apartment after they returned from a nightclub. Combs ordered both women to open their mouths and forced Ecstasy down their throats, the lawsuit says.

He then demanded that Porter and Lampros have sex, telling Lampros she had no control when she refused, the lawsuit says. Combs is also accused of raping Lampros.

According to the lawsuit, Lampros ended her relationship with Combs in 1998.

She also claimed that Porter and Combs had her fired from a bar after Porter saw her working there. According to the lawsuit, Porter called Lampros’ manager and falsely accused her of trying to poison Porter. Lampros believes this was retaliation.

About two years later, Lampros said, Combs told her he missed her when they ran into each other by chance at an event. Combs called Lampros for days after she refused to go with him, asking if she would see him at his apartment, she said in her suit.

Lampros “reluctantly” agreed to have Combs come to her home to hear what he had to say, according to the lawsuit, which says he came with a security guard who was sitting in the stairwell. During that interaction, Combs grabbed her and forced himself on her, kissing and touching her without her consent, it says. She resisted him to the point where she was able to reach for her door and ask Combs to leave, it says.

Lampros said in a statement on Thursday: “I am confident that justice will prevail and the veil will be lifted so that no other woman will have to endure what I went through.”

The lawsuit, filed by Lampros’ attorney Tyrone Blackburn, names Combs, Bad Boy Records, Arista Records and its owner Sony Music Entertainment as defendants.

Representatives for Combs and Bad Boy did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A representative for Sony and Arista could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday evening.
