Trigger Warning: This article discusses alleged sexual assault, rape and sex trafficking.
Updated: December 2: A new lawsuit has been filed against Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs by fashion designer Bryana ‘Bana’ Bongolan, claiming the rapper threatened to kill her and dangled her over a 17th floor balcony in 2016.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles by attorney James R. Nikraftar, is seeking $10 million in damages for lasting emotional distress over alleged sexual battery, infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment.
“The only purpose of dangling someone over a balcony is to actually kill them or to intentionally terrorize them and rob them of any concept of dominion over their own bodily autonomy and safety” the claim reads per Rolling Stone.
“Ms. Bongolan refuses to allow this fear to control the rest of her life and brings this action to demand that Mr. Combs takes responsibility for the trauma he intentionally and maliciously.”
Bongolan was connected to Diddy through his ex, Cassie Ventura in 2014, before working for him for two years and claims she witnessed abuse of Ventura firsthand.
The designer had hoped Combs would help her career, but instead says in her lawsuit “it only led to terror and abuse at his hands.”
Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs Drug Accused Of Assaulting 10-Year-Old Boy
A further two anonymous lawsuits were filed against embattled rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in October, including the alleged sexual assault of a 10-year-old boy under the guise of making “him a star.”
In the lawsuit filings submitted by lawyers Andrew Van Arsdale and Tony Buzbee, the first claim details allegations from 2005, where parents of a 10-year-old boy hired a consultant to help with their son’s burgeoning career in the music industry. According to the lawsuit, Combs requested to meet with the boy in his hotel room – alone.
“Combs asked Plaintiff how badly he wanted to be a star, and what Plaintiff would do to get to be one. Plaintiff responded, as might any ten-year-old child, that he would ‘do anything,” states the claim.
The child was then allegedly offered a soda, which made the accused feel “a little funny.”
“After Plaintiff consumed his soda and began feeling its effects, Combs told Plaintiff to move closer to him, which Plaintiff did. Combs then abruptly pushed Plaintiff down and said words to the effect of ‘you have to do some stuff you don’t want to do sometimes,” according to the filed claim, which then goes on to detail the horrific events that allegedly occurred after this moment.
A separate claim alleges Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sexually assaulted a then-17-year-old during a three day audition for the reality show Making The Band.
According to the filing, Combs “emphasized his power to control Plaintiff’s future in the music industry.”
The lawsuit goes on to outline events that took place during a second interview, where the rapper “instructed Plaintiff to undress, explaining that Plaintiff needed to demonstrate the ability to embody a ‘sex idol’ persona, which was purportedly required for the band’s image.” It was this incident that allegedly escalated “into Combs forcing the Plaintiff to perform oral sex on him,” according to the court documents.
On the third day of auditions, the teenager was eliminated from the competition after allegedly refusing to perform oral sex on Combs’ bodyguard as a measure of commitment.
The two new filings are part of the promised 120 reportedly underway.
Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs Accused Of Assaulting 13-Year-Old Girl
UPDATED: This lawsuit has now been re-filed to also name Jay Z, as the second alleged abuser, read here.
As previously published, the claims come just a week after Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was accused of using drugs to incapacitate a 13-year-old girl before raping her, in an alleged incident involving two unnamed celebrities. The filing was made against the music mogul by Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee as part of the newest wave of allegations, following the submission of six additional claims the week prior.
One of the victims, who was just 13 at the time of the alleged assault, claims to have been sexually assaulted and drugged during a VMAs afterparty in 2000. The girl had allegedly approached several limousines in the hope that one would be able to secure her entry to the awards, and after coming across Diddy’s driver, was invited to the afterparty after being allegedly identified as “what Diddy was looking for.”
In the claims, obtained by NBC News, harrowing details include Jane Doe being made to sign an NDA before being brought inside. The suit claims that the girl was offered a drink, after which she “began to feel woozy and lightheaded,” causing her to seek out respite in a nearby bedroom.
However, shortly after the girl lay down, Combs and an unnamed “male and female celebrity” entered the room before allegedly raping the girl while the female celebrity watched.
The suit is one of several fresh allegations filed against the rapper claiming Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs used drugs to lace victims’ drinks before committing the assaults.
Another accuser – also a minor at the time – alleged the embattled rapper promised to “make him a star” before drugging him with a drink and later assaulting him with others present.
In a statement made to NBC News, Buzbee stated: “The allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves,” and vowed to “work to see that justice is done”.
“We expect to be filing cases weekly naming Mr Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings,” he added.
Combs’s legal team has reiterated their denial all allegations made in Buzbee’s suits. “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, man or woman,” they said in a statement.
Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs Drug Claims
Legal representatives for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have since responded with a gag order request from Marc Agnifilo, Combs’ primary lawyer.
The request seeks to block Buzbee and other potential witnesses and legal representatives from making statements about the media mogul.
Agnifilo has asked the judge residing over Combs’ case to order any witnesses and/or legal teams to remove online statements under their control, stating they were “aimed at assassinating Mr Combs’ character in the press.”
Following the March raids of Combs’ Florida and California properties, it was revealed that “more than 1000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” were seized. At the time, Agnifilo reportedly responded by saying his client “buys in bulk” and “I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home.”
The comments led to a representatives for Costco releasing a statement denying their stores stocked baby oil.
Out of the latest wave of suits, obtained by The Cut,, each make reference to the notorious baby oil and its alleged connection to Combs’ use of inhibiting drugs.
The complaints allege that Combs “particularly fancied the use of the popular date-rape drug Rohypnol, or GHB, to commit heinous non-consensual acts of sexual violence and rape against countless victims.”
The claims continue: “There are also allegations of Combs dousing victims in lotions or similar body oils, also laced with GBH [sic], so that the drug would be absorbed through the victim’s skin and make it easier to take advantage of, exploit, and assault him or her.”
Combs’ legal team also responded to the baby oil and drug-use claims, citing a Daily Beast article as evidence of “outlandish conspiracy theories.”
