Sean “Diddy” Combs accused of sexually abusing a model in new lawsuit

Another sexual assault lawsuit has been filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs. It is the latest in a series of allegations against the American rapper, who is increasingly coming under scrutiny for his treatment of women.

Former model Crystal McKinney said Tuesday that Combs forced her to perform oral sex on him at a party in 2003.

The attack occurred after she was “pressured to consume alcohol and marijuana,” including a joint that she believed was laced with another narcotic, the lawsuit says.

Combs is facing several civil lawsuits accusing him of being a violent sex offender who used alcohol and drugs to control his victims. This year, his homes were raided by federal agents.

Combs, who has denied previous allegations, did not comment on the latest allegations.

However, he apologized last week after a video emerged showing him physically attacking his then-girlfriend Casandra Ventura in 2016.

Footage released by CNN shows the rap mogul punching, dragging and kicking Ventura. Ventura claims in a recently filed lawsuit that Combs abused her with physical violence and drugs for over a decade and raped her in 2018.

Ventura sued Combs in federal court last fall. The case ended with a sensational decision, but was followed by a series of similarly sensational allegations of sexual assault against the hip-hop star.

McKinney cited Ventura’s case as well as four other cases against Combs in New York in her lawsuit, saying she “felt morally obligated to speak out” after seeing the other lawsuits.

“To this day, plaintiff suffers from depression, anxiety, body image issues, feelings of worthlessness and intimacy issues as a result of Combs’ assault,” the lawsuit states. At the same time, the rapper is accused of abusing his influence to hinder her career.
