Sean "Diddy" Combs houses were raided by Feds (Update: Diddy charged)

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a new wave of sexual assault lawsuits this week, with seven new complaints filed against the music mogul in New York courts Monday morning.

The recent deluge of lawsuits — including six filed last week, all by a team of lawyers led by Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, who promises up to 120 lawsuits in total over time — have all been submitted anonymously and accuse Combs of a range of sexual abuses.

Most of the complainants allege that they were drugged before being assaulted.


But these lawsuits stand out for another reason: The majority have been filed by men……

The eight anonymous men who have sued Combs allege that he assaulted them between 1998 and 2022.

They include teens hoping to break into the music industry, a man who worked for a rival clothing company, a security staffer at one of Combs’s famous “White Parties” and a personal trainer.

The youngest, who was 16 at the time of his alleged assault, said he was invited to Combs’s 1998 White Party — an annual star-studded event hosted by the hip-hop impresario from 1998 to 2009.

After a chance encounter with Combs at the party, the man said, the famed producer fondled his genitals.

According to court filings, Combs had persuaded the teen, an aspiring musician, to take off his pants by saying it was a rite of passage in the industry.

These claims are echoed in a lawsuit filed Monday to the Supreme Court of New York. According to the suit, the plaintiff was a 17-year-old with a desire to work in music when he was invited to an exclusive party hosted by Combs at a Manhattan hotel penthouse in 2022.


The lawsuit alleges that Combs offered the teen a beverage that left him dizzy and weak, and that while the teen tried to find the bathroom, he stumbled into a backroom where an orgy was taking place.

There, Combs pulled him toward the bed and fondled the alleged victim’s genitals, the filing says…….
