Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing new allegations of molestation from six additional individuals, including his first alleged underage victim and a man who worked at Macy's flagship store in New York City.
Attorney Tony Buzbee has filed six new lawsuits on behalf of two men and four women, adding to the growing list of accusations against Combs, who was indicted last month on sex trafficking and federal racketeering charges.
The two male victims are among the 120 individuals who have come forward with allegations of sexual assault by Combs between 1995 and 2021.
One of the men, who was 16 years old at the time, alleges that Combs molested him at a 1998 party in the Hamptons after he asked for advice on breaking into the music industry. Combs allegedly ordered the boy to drop his pants and molested him, telling him that such behavior was a "rite of passage" for aspiring musicians and saying, "Don't you want to break into the business?"
The victim claims he complied out of fear.
Another victim, identified as John Doe, alleges that he was "orally raped" by Combs in the stockroom of the Macy's flagship store in May 2008.
All six lawsuits were filed in the Southern District Court of New York under the city's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act.
John Doe claims that he was working in the Macy's concession of Ecko Clothing, a rival to Combs' clothing line Sean John, when Combs and three of his bodyguards entered the stockroom. He alleges that he was struck in the back of the neck and fell to the floor, at which point Combs began the alleged assault, saying, "Suck my d**k Ecko."
The lawsuit states that Combs proceeded to "forcefully, and brutally, orally rape the plaintiff."
After the alleged assault, the victim claims that Combs and his entourage made threats towards him, and Combs remained on the retail floor handing out Sean Jean merchandise "as if nothing happened."
