Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in another lawsuit filed in New York.
The 12th and latest accuser alleges that after she became pregnant, she was harassed by one his associates to have an abortion and later miscarried.
Mr Combs was arrested last week and is currently in federal custody, facing criminal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
He continues to deny all allegations of criminal wrongdoing. The BBC has approached Mr Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, for comment on the latest civil lawsuit.
What does the latest lawsuit say?
In the latest lawsuit, filed against him in New York, a woman referred to as Jane Doe describes repeated physical and sexual abuse over a period of four years beginning in late 2020.
She says she first met the rapper, who paid for her travel, at an “overseas location” and the two began seeing each other “regularly” after that, according to the lawsuit.
In her legal complaint, the woman alleges she was drugged by Mr Combs, who would then engage in sexual acts with her without her consent while she was unconscious.
The sexual encounters were filmed by Mr Combs without the woman’s permission and she was pressured by him to engage in group sex with others, the legal document claims.
In one instance, alleged to have apparently taken place in July 2022, the lawsuit describes the woman being compelled to take the drug ketamine, which caused her to “black out” and “lose consciousness intermittently throughout the night”.
Shortly afterwards, it alleges, the woman found out she was pregnant. According to the lawsuit, when the woman informed Mr Combs of the pregnancy, an associate of Mr Combs harassed her to have an abortion. The woman later suffered a miscarriage, it says.
The woman further alleges that Mr Combs made threatening jokes that led her to fear for her safety, says he monitored her location and phone conversations, and says he discouraged her from working so he could pay her an allowance instead.
“No one is above the law. Fame and wealth do not protect Sean 'Diddy' Combs from serious allegations of sex trafficking and abuse," said the woman’s lawyers, Joseph L Ciaccio and Marie Napoli, in a statement provided to the BBC.
Mr Combs has faced a string of allegations in the past year following on from the lawsuit brought by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura last November alleging physical and sexual abuse. Ms Ventura’s lawsuit was settled by Mr Combs for an undisclosed sum.
The rapper is also facing criminal charges as federal prosecutors have accused him of "creating a criminal enterprise" in which he "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfil his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct".
The rapper has pled not guilty to the three felony charges against him.
The BBC has reached out to Mr Combs’ lawyer for comment about the allegations in this latest lawsuit.
Mr Combs has denied all allegations contained in the 11 previous lawsuits.
