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

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

Another sexual harassment lawsuit has been filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs, the latest in a series of allegations against the American rapper as he comes under increasing criticism over 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 drink alcohol and marijuana, including a joint that she believed was laced with another narcotic, the lawsuit says.

Combs is the target of several civil lawsuits that characterize him as a violent sex offender who used alcohol and drugs to subdue his victims, and his homes were raided by federal agents this year.

Combs, who has denied previous allegations, has not responded to the latest allegation.

However, last week he apologized after a video surfaced of him physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Casandra Ventura in 2016.

Footage released by CNN shows the rap mogul punching, dragging and kicking Ventura, who said in a recent lawsuit that Combs subjected her to more than a decade of coercion through physical violence and drugs, as well as a rape in 2018.

Ventura sued Combs in federal court last fall in a bombshell lawsuit that was settled out of court but was replaced by a series of similarly lurid sexual assault lawsuits against the hip-hop star.

McKinney’s lawsuit cited Ventura’s case as well as four others against Combs in New York and said she felt a “moral obligation to express her opinion” 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 the attack on Combs,” the lawsuit states, while accusing the rapper of using his influence to further her career to suppress.
