A man who has accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of rape gave a shocking new interview on Wednesday, describing the music mogul as “abusive beyond belief.”
“I was screaming. I was telling him to stop. It was incredibly painful,” the accuser, referred to as John Doe, said during a CNN interview, where his identity was further protected by altering his voice and obscuring his face.
He alleged that during the assault, Combs, now 55, acted “like it was nothing,” and added, “He seemed to be disconnected from it. But it was abusive beyond belief.”
Doe recounted being so intoxicated that he “wasn’t able to stand,” stating, “It was just an amazing level of incapacitation that I had never experienced before and I felt powerless.”
The accuser claimed the assault occurred at a White Party hosted by Combs in the Hamptons in 2007. However, these details contradict those in his initial complaint.
The lawsuit, filed in October, alleged the assault took place in 2006 and claimed that Doe had never married due to the trauma he suffered. These assertions were also contradicted during the interview.
CNN reported that Doe’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, who represents over 120 other alleged victims of Combs, amended the complaint after being informed by the outlet of the inconsistencies.
Combs’ legal team responded to the interview by telling Page Six, “After Buzbee was exposed this week for pressuring clients to bring bogus cases against Mr. Combs, and after public records showed that—contrary to his allegations—there was no white party in the Hamptons in 2006, Buzbee amended this complaint to walk back the allegations and now claim a different day and wholly different year.”
Doe maintained his version of events, explaining that he had attended the party as an employee, having been hired to provide security.
The anonymous accuser claimed that at some point during the event, Combs personally gave him “really strong drinks,” and after the second one, he realized it was “already too late,” as he had lost control.
“Sadly, Sean Combs was waiting in the wings,” the accuser told CNN.
“He was watching from some sort of vantage point, and once I was in a helpless position and he was sure that he was in a position of power, then he took advantage of the situation.”
