Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing new sexual assault and rape accusations, with four new civil lawsuits filed by attorney Tony Buzbee. Two of the suits allege Combs sexually assaulted two men in 2022, one accuses him of raping a woman when she was 13 in 2000, and the fourth alleges he raped a woman in 2022. Combs is also accused of drugging the victims in these incidents. Buzbee plans to file a total of seven suits against Combs. Combs’ team has not responded to the accusations. These lawsuits come a week after Buzbee filed six other suits against Combs, who denied all accusations. Combs is currently held without bail on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges, with his criminal trial set to begin on May 5. Prosecutors are going through data from over 90 devices seized from Combs’ properties. His legal team has requested that his accusers in the federal case be publicly identified to prepare a proper defense, and they are appealing the bail denial. Several individuals, including former girlfriend Casandra Ventura and Dawn Richard, have accused Combs of misconduct, all of which he has denied. Combs’ team continues to maintain his innocence and fight the allegations against him. Chloe Melas of NBC News and Dan Mangan of CNBC contributed to this report.
