Diddy slams claims he threatened to kill fashion designer by ‘dangling her off balcony’

Sean Diddy Combs is facing a fresh lawsuit containing a series of shocking new allegations against the music mogul.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has slammed claims that he dangled a woman over an apartment balcony while threatening to kill her.

Bryana “Bana” Bongolan is suing the Bad Boy Records founder for a list of claims over an incident at the rapper’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura’s home in 2016.

Ms Bongolan claims Combs came over late one night and began groping her and alleges he held her over a balcony 17 stories from the ground when she rejected his advances.

The clothing designer said Combs referred to himself as the “motherf***ing devil”, accusing him of physically assaulting her by slamming her into the patio furniture.

She is now seeking $US10m ($A15.3m) in damages.

“Mr Combs firmly denies these serious allegations and remains confident they will ultimately be proven baseless,” the musician’s team said in a statement to Page Six.

“He has unwavering faith in the facts and in the fairness of the judicial process. In court, the truth will come to light, demonstrating that the claims against Mr Combs are without merit.”

The latest lawsuit comes after the music mogul was denied bail for a third time after a New

York judge rejected the rapper’s lawyers’ attempt to challenge his detention.

Manhattan federal court Judge Arun Subramanian said in a ruling that “there is evidence supporting a serious risk of witness tampering”.

“The court finds that the government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community,” he said.

The judge also referenced the horrific 2016 footage showing Combs beating up his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway, as “direct evidence of Combs’ violence”.

Combs, who has been charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, will remain at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn until his trial, which is scheduled for May, The New York Post reports.

The 55-year-old rapper, who had asked to be released on $US50 million ($A77 million) bond, has been detained since his arrest in September after a 10-month federal investigation.

COMBS’ WILD BEHAVIOUR ON SNL

A comedian who worked on hit US show Saturday Night Live almost three decades ago revealed how the cast and crew got their revenge on Combs in a new interview.

Ana Gasteyer, who is also known for her role in the original Mean Girls movie, told the Las Culturista podcast on Wednesday about how they recruited fellow guest Will Ferrell to take the mickey out of Combs after his demanding behaviour on the show back in 1998.

Gasteyer described Combs as an “a**hole” who demanded “a totally closed set” during his 1998 appearance – something she said was normally only reserved for presidential candidates.

“He, of course, shut down the whole building,” Gasteyer said.

“You can tell the five a**holes in the six years that I was there when they would be like, ‘So-and-so is in the building, everybody stay in your dressing rooms!’”

Gasteyer gleefully recalls how Ferrell made Combs “very uncomfortable” after gatecrashing his rehearsal while in character as Anchorman’s Ron Burgundy.

“They were like, ‘Wouldn’t it be so funny if Ron just went in?’” Gasteyer said.

“And he did. He went on down the stairs and he marched right in. And I have the video from the control room where Sean Combs is rapping ‘Come With Me,’ and behind him Ron is just walking around looking really disoriented.

“It is the greatest thing that’s ever happened, because what a deserved person to have their ‘Kashmir’ moment interrupted by Ron.”

Ferrell also recalled the incident in a 2020 SNL flashback special which is still available to watch on their YouTube channel.

“There was one moment where we were in this writers room watching Puff Daddy rehearse and someone said, ‘Ron should go up on stage’,” Ferrell said.

“And before everyone had turned to see I had sprinted out the door.”

TWO NEW LAWSUITS AGAINST DIDDY

It comes as two more lawsuits have been filed against Sean Diddy Combs for allegedly drugging and raping one man and drugging and forcing a woman to perform oral sex.

The alleged victims claimed the rapper drugged them with a laced drink.

The US lawyer leading the prosecution for 120 of Diddy’s alleged victims, Tony Buzbee, filed two more lawsuits against the rapper, who has been held in jail for months following allegations of years-long horrific abuse.

TMZ reported a Florida man, claims he met Combs at a Miami nightclub and was invited to an after-party where he alleged Combs drugged him with a laced drink.

The man, who goes by John Doe, claimed he woke up naked and saw Combs raping him.

Diddy allegedly continued to rape him while wearing a ‘disturbing smile’. John Doe said the drugs in his system made it impossible to fight back.

He said he woke up the next day, was handed his clothes back and was escorted out of the residence to be dropped off at the nightclub he and others were partying.

She claimed that she wasn’t allowed to leave until she gave everyone oral sex, and that throughout the assault Diddy kept calling her derogatory names and sprayed champagne on her.

Both victims are reportedly suing the founder of the Bad Boys movie franchise for damages.

Combs has been charged with three counts of sex trafficking and racketeering. The rapper is simultaneously facing more than two dozen civil cases by men and women accusing him of sexual assault, rape and sexual exploitation.

The latest lawsuits follow the release of shocking footage from a birthday party Combs hosted for his friend Meek Mill in April 2014.

The celebration took place at a luxurious Parisian-style palace in Las Vegas, which Combs, 55, rented for $US25,000 ($A38,200) to honour the Dreams and Nightmares rapper, 37, according to the Daily Mail.

However, after the event wrapped up, the property manager Jason Haight, is said to have faced a “disgusting” mess left behind to clean up.

“There were broken bottles of alcohol, used condoms, blood on the bedding, powder, hundreds of razor blades, and lubricant on the dressers and marble floors,” Mr Haight told the outlet.

He also claimed to have discovered “panties, bras, and even two iPhones in the bushes behind the bowling alley.”

Haight said he was contacted by the rapper’s personal assistant about renting the mansion for the birthday party.

Combs’ assistant relayed specific requirements that were needed from the property manager for their stay.

“They requested that all interior bedroom door locks were to be ordered new and left unopened for their arrival for security purposes as they would need to supervise the installation,” Haight said, as per the Daily Mail.

“And both keys were to be given to Mr Combs directly and nobody else.”

‘MALICIOUS’: HIGH-PROFILE STAR SUES DIDDY ACCUSERS’ LAWYER

A prominent figure is suing the lawyer representing more than 120 of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ alleged victims.

The plaintiff, who is identified only as “John Doe”, describes himself as a “high profile individual” who knew Diddy and attended events with the music mogul.

The man said Mr Buzbee and his firm threatened to unleash “entirely fabricated and malicious allegations of sexual assault — including multiple incidents of rape of a minor, both male and female — against Plaintiff if he refuses to comply with their demands.”

The suit claimed that Mr Buzbee’s demand letters alleged the plaintiff raped the males and females while they were under the influence of drugs at parties hosted by Diddy.

The plaintiff referred to past lawsuits Mr Buzbee has filed against other celebrities, including NFL star Deshaun Watson. The man claimed the lawyer tried to “shake down” Watson and others by making “dubious claims he knows would not stand up in court.”

Cleveland Browns quarterback Watson last month resolved the latest civil lawsuit filed against him by a woman claiming sexual assault and battery.

Mr Buzbee, the plaintiff’s lawyer, said at the time his client’s claim against Watson had been settled confidentially.

In a statement to Billboard, Mr Buzbee said he and his firm “won’t allow the powerful and their high-dollar lawyers intimidate or silence sexual survivors” and warned of a lawsuit against the plaintiff.

“It is obvious that the frivolous lawsuit filed against my firm is an aggressive attempt to intimidate or silence me and ultimately my clients,” Mr Buzbee wrote.

“That effort is a gross miscalculation. I am a US Marine. I won’t be silenced or intimidated. Neither will my clients. Since our professional efforts at resolution obviously have failed, we will instead disclose the demand letters we sent at the time we filed suit.”
