Another alleged victim of Sean "Diddy" Combs has come forward with a claiming the hip-hop mogul drugged and assaulted her in a new lawsuit filed Tuesday (May 21) in federal court in Manhattan, Rolling Stone reports.
The latest alleged victim was a 22-year-old aspiring model at the time. Crystal McKinney alleges that Diddy met her at a New York restaurant and talked her into going to his music studio and claimed he could help her career.
In the lawsuit, McKinney claims she was invited to a dinner in 2003 by an unidentified designer at Cipriani Downtown during Men's Fashion Week. The suit adds that the male designer dressed McKinney to appeal to Combs and had her sit directly across the table from the hip-hop mogul.
"Once seated, Combs made a very public display of coming on to plaintiff in a sexually suggestive manner which continued throughout the dinner," the lawsuit states, according to Rolling Stone. "Throughout their interactions, Combs was flirtatious, bordering on leering, as he leaned across the table towards her. Combs also plied Plaintiff with alcohol throughout the dinner as he repeatedly refilled her glass with wine."
The suit also alleges that Combs convinced McKinney to join him at his Manhattan recording studio, which she assumed would be safe since it was a place of business. Once there, Combs gave her a marijuana cigarette that she believed was spiked with a substance that made her feel like "she was floating."
He then allegedly led her to a bathroom where "Combs forced himself on plaintiff and began kissing her without her consent," the lawsuit claims, according to Rolling Stone. "Combs, then, shoved her head down to his crotch before commanding her to 'suck it.' Plaintiff refused, but Combs pushed her head down onto his phallus and forced her to perform oral sex on him."
McKinney claims the alleged assault left her "physically sick" and she eventually passed out. She regained consciousness "in shock to find herself in a taxicab heading back to the designer's apartment," the filing adds.
The new lawsuit comes after Combs took a lot of heat over the weekend for not mentioning Cassie in the apology video he released in response to hotel surveillance footage, shared by CNN, that captured him physically abusing his ex-girlfriend.
Diddy still faces five other lawsuits after settling a lawsuit with Cassie in November.
Prior to his video apology, in which he didn't mention any of the alleged victims' names, Combs had denied all the allegations, calling one victim's claims a "work of fiction."
