Diddy Accuser Who Was Previously Anonymous Is Revealed as Hockey Star's Ex-Wife

A woman who accused Diddy and two associates of sexually assaulting her in 2003 has been revealed as Anna Kane, the ex-wife of Canadian professional ice hockey player Evander Kane, according to newly uncovered legal documents. Earlier this week, it was reported that she must proceed with her lawsuit against the rapper under her real name.

Anna, previously identified as a Jane Doe, filed her case in December 2023, alleging that the assault occurred at Diddy's New York recording studio when she was 17 years old.

The lawsuit, which also names former Bad Boy Records executive Harve Pierre and an unidentified third individual, claims that the assault happened after she was flown out on a private jet to New York City. The lawsuit was filed under New York City's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law (VGMVPL).

In a statement to TMZ made through her attorney Doug Wigdor, Anna says, "I had hoped to use a pseudonym in pursuing justice for what happened to me as a teenager. Defendants' demand that I use my name was an attempt to intimidate me, but I am not intimidated. I am prepared to proceed and hold accountable those who have harmed me."

Earlier, the legal team for Diddy, the hip-hop mogul otherwise known as Sean Combs, had sought to dismiss the case, arguing that the VGMVPL was invalidated by the expiration of other statewide laws, such as the Child Victims Act, which ended in August 2021. But U.S. District Judge Jessica G. L. Clarke rejected Combs' challenge and allowed the case to move forward under the VGMVPL.

However, the judge ordered that Doe must reveal her true identity to continue the litigation and dismissed corporate defendants Daddy's House, Combs' Manhattan studio, and Bad Boy Records from the case. Now, as TMZ uncovered on Friday (Dec. 6), we are learning that the accuser is Anna Kane, who was married to Evander, who plays for the NHL's Edmonton Oilers, from 2018 to 2021.

Combs currently faces about 20 lawsuits alleging various forms of sexual misconduct. The handling of Doe's case could influence how courts approach anonymity in these cases. Last month, another judge ordered accuser Candice McCrary to reveal her name in her lawsuit against Combs, which alleges a 2004 assault.

Anna's allegations, detailed in the Jane Doe filing from December 2023, claim that Pierre approached her at a Detroit-area lounge, claiming that Combs was interested in meeting her. That same night, she alleges she was flown to New Jersey and then taken to Daddy's House studio in Manhattan.

Once there, she says she was given large amounts of drugs and alcohol, causing her to lose consciousness. The lawsuit alleges that Combs, Pierre, and another man assaulted her while she drifted in and out of awareness, later waking up on the floor in pain. She claims she was flown back to Detroit afterward, with her underwear missing.

Combs has denied all allegations, calling them baseless in a public statement issued after the lawsuit was filed. "Enough is enough," he said. "For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation, and my legacy."

He added, "Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth."

Combs, 55, is also facing separate federal charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering. He was arrested in September and is being held without bail. He has pleaded not guilty and could face life in prison if convicted.
