Diddy is facing new developments in one of his sexual assault allegations as his lawyers have recently filed their formal appearances in a federal lawsuit set to go to trial. Accused of raping a 17-year-old back in 2003, the hip-hop mogul finds himself entangled in legal proceedings once again.
Diddy Set For Trial
In a recent post by court reporter Meghann Cuniff, it has been revealed that Diddy’s lawyers have filed their appearances in the new federal lawsuit concerning the rape accusations against him. The lawsuit alleged that Diddy sexually assaulted a 17-year-old and has now resurfaced after years of being dormant.
Diddy’s lawyers have outlined their legal strategy, planning to file their opposition to the plaintiff, who will proceed anonymously, on Dec. 27. They will then respond to the full lawsuit by February 20, 2024, as the case progresses.
The filing by Diddy’s lawyers has sparked reactions among social media users, with many expressing sympathy for the victim. @womaningoId commented,
“They’re trying to open this poor girl up to public scrutiny and harassment as if she already hasn’t endured enough,” while @lovemusicreiss stated, “This is tasteless. Imagine trying to subject the victim to more public scrutiny, as if she hasn’t been through enough already.”
Cassie’s Best Friend
This lawsuit comes on the heels of Diddy being accused of sexual and physical abuse by his former girlfriend, Cassie. The lawsuit was eventually settled, but now Diddy is facing another serious legal battle that could potentially tarnish his reputation permanently.
In a recent interview with NBC News, Cassie’s friend, singer/songwriter Tiffany Redd, shed light on the Bad Boy CEO’s explosive behavior towards Cassie. Redd revealed instances where Diddy would become angry when Cassie refused to engage in sexual activities when he desired.
Shockingly, Redd stated that songs she worked on would play in the background during these assault incidents, leaving her feeling disgusted. Redd exclaimed, “To find out that I spent all these years writing these songs for him to rape my friend is just disgusting.”

Diddy Denies Sexual Assault Allegations As 4th Victim Comes Forward
Diddy has been hit with his fourth sexual assault allegation as a new lawsuit emerges. The accuser, a 17-year-old girl referred to as Jane Doe, claims that the hip-hop mogul, along with former Bad Boy president Harve Pierre and another unidentified man, trafficked and gang-raped her in 2003. Diddy has since taken to his social media to break his silence, denying the allegations.
Diddy Slammed With 4th Lawsuit
Diddy faces a fourth sexual assault accusation as a new lawsuit comes to light. In the 14-page lawsuit, Jane Doe alleges that she was introduced to the Bad Boy CEO through Harve Pierre, who claimed to be a close friend.
Pierre arranged for Jane Doe to meet Diddy and invited her on a spontaneous trip to New York aboard a private jet.
The lawsuit details how Jane Doe was transported to Diddy’s recording studio and subjected to non-consensual and violent sexual acts by Diddy (also known as Sean Combs) and the unidentified third man. There are photos included as evidence, showing Diddy with the teenage girl, as she was 17 years old, and he was 34 years old at the time.
Another ‘Trigger Warning’
In the legal document, numerous allegations implicate the three men. The lawsuit incorporates a “trigger warning,” akin to the previous filing by R&B singer Casandra Ventura, also known as Cassie.
Furthermore, Attorney Douglas H. Wigdor lodged the latest lawsuit on behalf of the teenager. Notably, he had previously represented Cassie in her high-profile lawsuit, which surfaced on Nov. 16.
The lawsuit leveled accusations against Diddy for sexual assault and trafficking. Following the filing of the lawsuit, both parties settled within 24 hours.
Pertaining to the document, it provides graphic details of Combs engaging in non-consensual intercourse with the woman, who did not consent to sexual activity with Combs. She described the incident as everything being a “blur,” and recounted that Combs removed her undergarments and penetrated her from behind with his penis while she was positioned over the sofa.
More Details Revealed
The lawsuit also claims that Diddy and his associates took turns sexually assaulting Jane Doe while she was barely conscious.
According to the filing, Diddy watched the assault from a nearby chair, while the men violated the young girl. After the assault, Jane Doe was left alone in the bathroom, unable to walk, until she regained enough strength to be taken back to the airport and flown back to Michigan.
The filing alleges that Diddy had connections with the Black Mafia Family, a reputed drug trafficking and money laundering operation in Michigan.
‘ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’
Diddy has released a three-sentence statement on Instagram addressing the allegations, where he stated:
“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, and destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
Fans were not here for Diddy’s statement where one user named @waterlilysam wrote, “Ummm…. Didn’t you just settle a case in TWENTY FOUR HOURS with a woman you tried to claim was extorting you? I wonder why you did that if you never did any of those awful things. The math ain’t mathing Sean.”
Another user named @chrxterino wrote, “Diddy, this ain’t the 90s nor 2000s, you can’t issue a PR statement regarding your reputation when many been saying this for years. You’re guilty & you’re upset at what you did.”
