Sean
“Diddy”
Combs
recently
settled
with
Casandra
“Cassie”
Ventura
after
the
ex-girlfriend
of
the
mogul
filed
a
lawsuit
alleging
a
series
of
crimes
including
sexual
assault
and
sex
trafficking.
Now,
two
more
lawsuits
have
been
filed
with
Guy
vocalist
Aaron
Hall
also
linked
to
Diddy
in
one
of
the
filings.
As
reported
by
The
Guardian
late
last
week,
Joi
Dickerson-Neal,
a
former
Syracuse
University
student,
claims
that
in
1991,
she
was
drugged
and
physically
assaulted
by
Combs
who
also
allegedly
filmed
the
assault
and
shared
the
footage
via
details
found
in
a
lawsuit
filing
from
last
week.
Dickerson-Neal,
who
starred
in
one
of
Diddy’s
music
videos,
says
that
the
shared
footage
of
the
assault
caused
her
to
suffer
from
a
series
of
mental
health
issues,
naming
the
act
a
form
of
revenge
porn.
According
to
Dickerson-Neal’s
legal
team,
she
was
encouraged
to
come
forth
about
the
assault
after
Cassie
filed
her
lawsuit.
In
Cassie’s
lawsuit,
the
singer
claimed
Combs
enacted
a
number
of
heinous
crimes
that
included
sex
trafficking,
physical
abuse,
and
more.
Ben
Brafman,
an
attorney
for
Combs,
said
of
the
settlement
between
his
client
and
Cassie
that
it
did
not
signal
“an
admission
of
wrongdoing”
and
maintains
his
client
is
innocent
of
the
claims
made
in
the
lawsuit.
In
another
report
from
Rolling
Stone,
the
third
such
lawsuit
filed
by
an
unnamed
woman
was
filed
by
way
of
the
Adult
Survivors
Act
last
week
with
the
complaint
from
Jane
Doe
alleging
that
Combs
and
Hall
raped
her
and
a
friend
in
the
early
1990s.
The
report
cited
the
years
1990
and
1991
when
the
alleged
rape
took
place.
According
to
the
filing,
the
unnamed
victim
claims
that
she
and
the
friend
met
with
Combs
and
Hall
at
an
event
hosted
by
MCA
Records,
which
distributed
Uptown
Records.
The
alleged
incident
took
place
at
Hall’s
apartment,
according
to
the
filing,
with
the
men
offering
the
women
drinks
and
taking
turns
assaulting
them.
Days
later,
the
lawsuit
claims
that
Diddy
went
looking
for
Jane
Doe’s
friend
and
physically
assaulted
her
out
of
concern
that
she
would
alert
the
woman
he
was
seeing
at
the
time
about
what
took
place
at
Hall’s
apartment.
The
suit
from
Jane
Doe
also
nanes
MCA
Music
Entertainment
and
Geffen
Records
as
defendants.
In
response
to
the
two
lawsuits,
a
spokesperson
for
Combs
sent
the
outlet
a
statement
that
read,
“These
are
fabricated
claims
falsely
alleging
misconduct
from
over
30
years
ago
and
filed
at
the
last
minute.
This
is
nothing
but
a
money
grab.
Because
of
Mr.
Combs’
fame
and
success,
he
is
an
easy
target
for
anonymous
accusers
who
lie
without
conscience
or
consequence
for
financial
benefit.
The
New
York
Legislature
surely
did
not
intend
or
expect
the
Adult
Survivors
Act
to
be
exploited
by
scammers.
The
public
should
be
skeptical
and
not
rush
to
accept
these
bogus
allegations.”
