LOS ANGELES (BN24) — Sean “Diddy” Combs and his son Justin Combs are facing new accusations in a lawsuit alleging they lured a woman from Louisiana to Los Angeles in 2017 with promises of a television job before she was held against her will and gang-raped.
Filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the civil suit claims Justin Combs contacted the woman — identified only as “Jane Doe” — through Snapchat and invited her to visit California with assurances of career opportunities. Once she arrived, she was allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted by Sean Combs, Justin Combs, and two unidentified men who wore masquerade masks.
The lawsuit details how Jane Doe was flown to Los Angeles on April 14, 2017, met at the airport by a black SUV, and taken to a Beverly Hills home known as “The Glass House.” According to the complaint, she initially believed she would be networking to secure a production job in Atlanta through the Combs family’s connections. Instead, she said she was kept inside the residence, provided liquor and marijuana she believed were laced, and later pressured to ingest additional pills.
“When asked if they were ever going to leave, Justin abruptly said ‘no,’” the complaint said.
The woman alleges that later that day, three masked men entered the home, including Sean Combs, whom she recognized by his “stature and mannerisms” and because Justin referred to him as “Pops.” She claims she was threatened — told “You better let this happen. Or else” — and then raped repeatedly over two days while incapacitated.
The lawsuit further claims Jane Doe was driven back to the airport on Monday and warned about explicit photos she had sent to Justin, which he allegedly retained and could use to intimidate her.
In a statement Friday, Combs’ media representatives denied all allegations, saying, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone.”
The suit names Sean and Justin Combs, Combs Enterprises LLC, Bad Boy Entertainment, and ten unnamed defendants, alleging sexual battery, gender violence, and negligent supervision. It also accuses Combs’ companies of enabling the abuse by facilitating the deception about job prospects.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents Jane Doe, said Friday, “We are proud of our client for having the courage to step forward and be heard. The details of the lawsuit speak for themselves. We will see that justice is done.”
Sean Combs, whose racketeering and sex trafficking trial is nearing a verdict in New York, has faced multiple lawsuits in recent years alleging sexual misconduct, including a high-profile claim by ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura that was settled out of court.
Jane Doe’s complaint states she has suffered severe trauma, physical injuries, anxiety, and emotional distress as a result of the alleged assault.
Combs’ legal team has not yet filed a formal response to the latest suit.
