Sean 'Diddy' Combs Faces New Lawsuits Alleging Sexual Misconduct

Sean "Diddy" Combs is now dealing with a bunch of new legal trouble. On Monday, five lawsuits were filed in a New York federal court. These lawsuits are from three men and two women who say Combs sexually assaulted or raped them. The incidents are said to have happened between 1995 and 2021. One of the cases involves a woman who was a 19-year-old college student when she says Combs assaulted her in a Manhattan hotel room. The lawsuits were filed by a lawyer named Tony Buzbee, who is known for representing other high-profile accusers. He did this under a special law that gives victims of gender-motivated violence until March 2025 to file older claims. The lawsuits are against Combs and his businesses, and the accusers are asking for unspecified damages. Combs has denied these allegations before through his lawyers, saying they are false and people are just looking for money. These new lawsuits come as Combs is also fighting other serious charges. He's accused of racketeering and sex trafficking and is awaiting trial in Brooklyn.Buzbee said these lawsuits show that Combs thinks he can do whatever he wants. The details in these new cases are said to be similar to the criminal charges against Combs. Federal prosecutors are still going through data from devices seized from Combs. Combs has been denied bail twice and is trying to get those decisions changed. This isn't the first time Combs has faced accusations like this. His ex-girlfriend Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura sued him last year, and they settled the case quickly. But in May, a video showed Combs beating Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016. Combs' legal team says the government leaked information to the media, which could affect the case. They want a hearing about this. The judge might put a gag order on both sides to stop them from talking to the media. Since Ventura's lawsuit, more people have come forward with similar claims against Combs.
