Several of the people who have accused disgraced former music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual abuse have spoken out for the first time in a new Rolling rock story detailing the alleged actions of the Bad Boy Records boss.
One of the women who sued Combs for sexual assault, Joi Dickerson-Neal, told the magazine that she didn't come forward for payment, but rather to make sure “people see that this man rose to the level of an 'icon.' He is really sick and has left so many victims inside [the wake of his] unpunished disgusting behavior for years.”
“A date with Sean Combs led to the trauma and pain of being sexually assaulted and to the bottom of an ocean of shame,” she claimed in the post, as well as “debilitating self-doubt and a lifetime of inner turmoil” after learning Combs allegedly to distribute an explicit video of her, as described in her lawsuit.
Combs is currently facing lawsuits from multiple people who accuse the disgraced music mogul of sexual abuse, with five of the women accusing Combs of either raping or violently sexually assaulting her in incidents dating back to 1990. After CNN obtained recently released a 2016 video of Combs attacking then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura — who sued him for rape and assault in November and settled soon after — the musician apologized and took responsibility for his actions in the video, but the others categorically denied all other allegations.
Combs' attorney told the magazine he can't comment on settled disputes and won't comment on pending legal action. Advertising sign has also reached out to its PR and legal teams for comment on its allegations Rolling rock history.
Dickerson-Neal, who appeared alongside Combs in a 1990 music video, filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy in November. He told the magazine that he “reluctantly” agreed to a dinner date with Combs in January 1991 while attending college and working at a restaurant to pay her bills. After allegedly being warned to stay away from Combs because of his “notorious reputation,” Dickerson-Neal said she asked them to dinner at the restaurant where she worked because she was afraid to be alone with him.
She claims in her lawsuit that Combs “intentionally drugged” her and then allegedly sexually assaulted her. Dickerson-Neal also claims Diddy filmed the alleged assault and showed the video to others “as a trophy.” Combs' attorneys deny the allegations and have moved to dismiss her lawsuit.
Also speaking was Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, a music producer who is also suing Combs, accusing him of “groping and touching” his anus and repeatedly forcing Jones to “solicit sex workers and perform sexual acts for the pleasure of Mr . Combs”. to RS. Jones told the publication, “He's a monster, nothing has changed… this guy has no soul. He has no duty to anyone, not even to his children.”
Model Crystal McKinney described attending a fashion show for Diddy's Sean John clothing brand in February 2003, and in her lawsuit, claimed Combs forced her to hit a “tied” joint after she said she was acting “too tight” . The suit alleges that Combs forced her to perform oral sex on him, an incident she said sent her into “anxiety and depression” that led to a suicide attempt.
“I had a whole future [in modeling] it was mapped as stolen from me. To be sexually assaulted and not have any recourse is so painful,” McKinney said RS. “I felt like I was dying every day because I still didn't have the strength to come forward. … I hope that by speaking out, I can help other survivors come forward and seek justice.”
A woman who filed a Jane Doe lawsuit against Diddy in December alleging that he and two other men drugged and raped her in 2003 when she was 17 — a lawsuit that Combs' attorney filed to dismiss, calling it ” decades of history. ” aimed at extracting “an unfair economic recovery” — he also spoke. She said RS that she hopes her legal action will sue “not just Combs, but everyone who acted with him, stood by and actively covered up his conduct.”
