Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl with the assistance of two other celebrities at an afterparty for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
The now-37-year-old woman filed a lawsuit against Combs in New York federal court on Sunday, claiming the incident took place after she went to an empty bedroom to rest for a moment due to feeling “woozy and lightheaded” from a drink she had during the party on Sept. 7, 2000.
“Shortly after, Combs, along with a male and female celebrity, entered the room,” the 19-page filing, obtained by Deadline, states. “Combs aggressively approached the plaintiff with a crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her, and said, ‘You are ready to party!’”
Combs, who was 30 at the time, allegedly “threw” the girl, identified only as Jane Doe in the court documents, toward another male celebrity referred to as Celebrity A, who then removed the teen’s clothing as she became “more and more disoriented.”
“The plaintiff was held down by Celebrity A, who vaginally raped her while Combs and Celebrity B, a female, watched,” the lawsuit claims.
“After the male celebrity finished, Combs then vaginally raped the plaintiff while Celebrity A and Celebrity B observed.”
The complaint also alleges that Combs tried to force the victim to perform oral sex on him, but she resisted by hitting him in the neck, causing him to stop.
She then escaped the room and had her father pick her up from the party.
“After the assault, Plaintiff fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life,” states the lawsuit filed by Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee.
Buzbee filed at least five new civil lawsuits in the Southern District of New York on Sunday.
Although the plaintiffs are not named in the court documents, they are described as two men and three women, including one who was 13 at the time of the alleged VMAs rape.
Buzbee also sensationally claimed that several A-list celebrities were involved in Combs’ assaults.
Combs has maintained his innocence through his lawyers after facing a wave of accusations in recent months.
