Two additional women have recently come forward to accuse Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual abuse. These allegations come just one week after Combs settled a separate lawsuit with singer Cassie, which included accusations of rape and physical abuse.
Both of the new lawsuits were filed on Thursday, right before the expiration of the Adult Survivors Act. This New York law allows victims of sexual abuse a one-year window to file civil action, regardless of the statute of limitations.
The filings provide detailed accounts of sexual assault, beatings, and forced drugging that allegedly occurred in the early 1990s. At that time, Combs was a talent director, party promoter, and rising figure in New York City’s hip-hop community.
Joi Dickerson, one of the accusers, stated that she was a 19-year-old student at Syracuse University when she agreed to meet Combs at a restaurant in Harlem in 1991. According to the filing, Combs intentionally drugged her and then sexually assaulted her after bringing her home. The suit also alleges that Combs videotaped the assault without Dickerson’s knowledge and later shared it with several friends in the music industry. This public exposure led to severe depression and caused Dickerson to drop out of college.
In a separate lawsuit filed on Thursday, an unnamed woman accused Combs and R&B singer Aaron Hall of sexually assaulting her and a friend. The suit states that after a music industry event in 1990 or 1991, the accuser and her roommate went to Hall’s home with Combs. The woman claims she was coerced into having sex with Combs and was later forced by Hall to have sex with him. The suit also alleges that Combs and Hall assaulted the woman’s friend.
A spokesperson for Combs denied the allegations, accusing the two women of exploiting the temporary extension of the statute of limitations provided by the New York law. There has been no response from Aaron Hall regarding the allegations.
The attorney for the unnamed accuser stated that his client is in the process of gathering medical documents and witness statements to support her lawsuit. The suit was filed late Thursday to preserve the statute of limitations. The suit brought by Joi Dickerson mentions that she filed police reports in New York and New Jersey after the abuse, but it is unclear which other jurisdictions may have been involved.
After the filmed assault, Dickerson approached friends in the music industry for confirmation of the existence of the “revenge porn” tape. However, she was rebuffed due to fear of retaliation from Combs and potential harm to their careers. It is important to note that The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused unless they come forward publicly, as Dickerson has done.
In the years following the alleged assaults, Combs went on to found his own record label, Bad Boys Records, and became one of the most influential hip-hop producers and executives in history. These recent lawsuits follow a set of explosive allegations made by Cassie Ventura, who claimed that Combs subjected her to a pattern of abuse during their relationship. The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed sum one day after it was filed.
The new accusations against Sean “Diddy” Combs highlight the ongoing issue of sexual abuse and the importance of addressing it. These cases also demonstrate the significance of laws like the Adult Survivors Act in providing victims with an opportunity to seek justice. It remains to be seen how these lawsuits will unfold and what impact they will have on Combs’ reputation and career.
