Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Sued by 2 Women Who Claim They Were Sexually Assaulted at Trump Hotel

Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of sexually assaulting two women on multiple occasions in the late 1990s.

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the separate lawsuits were filed in New York County’s Supreme Court on Tuesday, Feb. 4, by two women who identified as Jane Doe.

Both Jane Does allege that they were active in the hip-hop scene through the 1980s and 1990s, so they often crossed paths with Combs.

The first Jane Doe alleged in her filing that Combs sexually assaulted her in multiple states, including California. However, the specific allegations in Tuesday’s filing stem from alleged incidents that took place in New York.

In the first alleged instance described in the filing, Combs hired the first Jane Doe to provide bottle service for a party at his home in The Hamptons. When he arrived, he allegedly offered drinks to her and other staff. After her first drink, she “began to feel woozy, slipping in and out of consciousness” when Combs’ male associates allegedly sexually assaulted and raped her under “Combs’ direction” while he was present, the lawsuit alleged, adding that Combs was nude as “another man sodomiz[ed] him.”

The first Jane Doe suspected the alleged incident was captured on video, however, Combs refused to delete the footage, she claimed, per the complaint.

In a separate alleged incident that also took place in N.Y.C. in the late 1990s, the first Jane Doe was at Combs’ party at Limelight nightclub when he allegedly refused to let her leave, the lawsuit states.

Instead, per the complaint, he allegedly took her and one of her friends to the Trump Hotel in midtown Manhattan, where the first Jane Doe and her friend were allegedly held against their will, “drugged, and forced to participate in group-sex activity during which she [was] sexually assaulted over the next several hours.”

Combs then let the two women leave the following morning, court documents state.

The second Jane Doe made similar claims in her own filing against Combs. She claimed that “on numerous separate occasions,” Combs became “violent” and subjected her to “sexual assault, coercion, abuse and violence at the hands of or direction of Combs.”

On the evening of Combs’ party at Limelight, the second Jane Doe, who was dating Combs’ security guard at the time, alleged in court documents that she was physically and sexually assaulted as Combs watched. She and a friend were then allegedly “forced to take” what she believes was ecstasy or a similar drug and participate in “a group sex activity,” the lawsuit claimed.

Both Jane Does are suing for alleged violation of the New York City Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, and asking for compensatory damages for all physical injuries, emotional distress, psychological harm, anxiety, humiliation, physical and emotional pain and suffering, family and social disruption, and other harm.

They are also requesting punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.

Attorneys for Combs denied the allegations in the two Jane Doe lawsuits in a single statement to PEOPLE.

“As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false,” the statement began. “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”

The filings against Combs come the same day that a male accuser and aspiring musician alleged in a lawsuit that the disgraced music mogul drugged him at a 2015 party in Los Angeles so that Combs could allegedly perform oral sex on him.

Combs’ attorneys’ statement was the same response they gave for the male accuser’s lawsuit earlier in the day.

Combs is currently being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after being charged with sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering. His trial date is scheduled to begin on May 5.
