Music mogul and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently embroiled in multiple civil lawsuits alleging sex trafficking, sexual abuse, and rape. Federal agents with U.S. Homeland Security conducted raids on the rapper’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami on March 25 as part of the investigation. Combs, 54, has refuted all allegations, with his legal team describing the lawsuits as opportunistic attempts for monetary gain.
Combs faces accusations involving at least five women and one man.
CASANDRA ‘CASSIE’ VENTURA.
Last year, singer Casandra Ventura filed a lawsuit alleging that she was beaten, raped, and sex-trafficked by Combs on multiple occasions spanning a decade. She alleged the abuse began soon after they met. Combs signed Ventura to his label in 2005. She was 19, and he was 37. Ventura claimed that when she tried to end their relationship in 2018, Combs forced his way into her home and raped her.
RODNEY ‘LIL ROD’ JONES.
In February, music producer Rodney Jones filed a lawsuit against Combs, alleging he was “subjected to unwanted advances by associates of Diddy at his direction.” Jones worked for Combs from September 2022 to November 2023. He claims that during that time, Combs sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him. Jones’s suit also alleges that Combs hosted “sex-trafficking parties” featuring underage girls and illegal drugs.
JOIE DICKERSON-NEAL.
Dickerson-Neal filed a lawsuit in November 2023 alleging that Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her and secretly recorded the assault. The alleged assault occurred in 1991 when Dickerson-Neal was a college student. After “reluctantly” agreeing to go out to dinner with Combs on January 3, 1991, Dickerson-Neal alleges she was drugged, “resulting in her being in a physical state where she could not independently stand or walk.”
JANE DOE 1.
Also, in November 2023, an anonymous plaintiff filed a lawsuit against Combs, accusing him and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall of raping her and her friend in 1990 or 1991. The plaintiff alleges that after being invited by the two men to an afterparty, she “was offered more drinks and was coerced into having sex with Combs.” She then discovered that her friend was “forced to have sex with Combs and Hall in another room,” according to the suit. Days later, the lawsuit alleges, Combs visited the plaintiff and her friend at their residence, where he became angry “and began assaulting and choking Jane Doe to the point that she passed out.”
JANE DOE 2.
In December of 2023, another anonymous plaintiff accused Combs of drugging and gang-raping her in 2003 when she was just 17 years old. The plaintiff alleges she was plied with drugs and alcohol at his New York studio before Combs and two of his associates raped her. Her suit accuses Combs of engaging in a “sex trafficking scheme” in which she was flown to New York on a private jet from her home in Michigan.
THE MEIDAS TOUCH?
Kenny Meiselas, longtime attorney for Combs, is the father of Ben, Brett, and Jordan Meiselas, the brothers who founded MeidasTouch Network, a White-House linked media organization that created the Trump ‘bloodbath‘ hoax. Ben Meiselas got his start in politics by interning for Combs, who was involved in pro-Democrat get-out-the-vote efforts at the time. The extent to which the Meiselas patriarch — or his son Ben — knew of Combs’s alleged sex trafficking schemes and rapes is unknown.
