Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs accused of raping man at music video casting
The accuser worked as an actor in the late ’90s and early 2000s.
Sean “Diddy” Combs is being accused of raping a man at a music video casting meeting in October 2001.
According to the complaint obtained by Page Six on Wednesday, the accuser also alleges an unidentified caucasian male, who was also at the meeting, used a metal device to then keep his mouth open.
“Plaintiff tasted metal and believes some sort of device was holding his mouth open, because he tried to bite down but could not,” the complaint alleges.
“Plaintiff later discovered he had a broken molar, requiring repair and a partial denture.”
The accuser, who worked as an actor in the late ’90s and early 2000s, allegedly went to the casting meeting at a Manhattan hotel near Central Park in New York to audition for the role of a police officer in a music video.
He notes in the complaint that aside from Combs, he saw a female casting director, a bodyguard and a dozen others in the hotel suite.
The “Bad Boy for Life” rapper allegedly interviewed him about his lifestyle, and at one point, asked him to take his shirt off and inquired whether he was “comfortable with potentially doing nude scenes.”
When the accuser affirmed he was, he was allegedly permitted to stay and then offered an alcoholic drink.
However, when he denied it, he was given a Diet Coke that “tasted strange” and was believed to have been laced with substances such as GHB or ecstasy, as it made the accuser feel “dizzy and nauseous.”
The alleged victim claims in the complaint that he passed out shortly after, and when he awoke in a “twilight state,” in which he was “semiconscious and disoriented,” his pants were pulled down.
“He felt a great deal of pain and realised, as he looked back, that he was being raped by Combs,” the complaint alleges.
“His vision was blurry, but he recognised Combs’ chest tattoo and the large gold chain with a jewelled cross on it that Combs wore during the interview.”
The alleged victim claims he tried to “fight off” the Bad Boy Records founder but felt too ill to do so.
“Additionally, Combs’ bodyguard was holding Plaintiff down by the arms,” the complaint further claims.
The accuser alleges that when Combs was done, he witnessed the rapper’s bodyguard putting a condom on himself but then passed out once again.
Once he “came to,” the alleged victim was being “held in a kneeling position” by the unidentified caucasian man who allegedly orally sodomised him, per the complaint.
The alleged victim claims the unnamed man verbally assaulted him by calling him a gay slur and a “pussy boy” who liked what was happening to him.
Following the alleged horrifying experience, the former actor claims he “vomited and cried all night” as he replayed the “trauma of what had just happened.”
The alleged victim claims he has also experienced “intense emotional pain and mental health issues,” including depression, following the incident.
The former actor’s complaint was one of five new lawsuits lawyer Tony Buzbee filed against Combs Tuesday, which also featured allegations from a Maryland woman who claimed she was drugged and raped by the disgraced music mogul and another accuser who was 17 when her crime allegedly occurred.
Combs’ lawyer Erica Wolff told Page Six in response, “The extortion lawsuit against Mr. Buzbee exposes his barrage of lawsuits against Mr. Combs for what they are: shameless publicity stunts, designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear having lies spread about them, just as lies have been spread about Mr. Combs.
“As his legal team has said before, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”
Combs, 55, has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty. His case is ongoing and police are continuing to investigate him and looking into additional charges, including witness tampering.
A trial date for the federal case has been set for May 5, 2025.
