Mann accuses Sean Combs of drugging and raping him during a meeting at a New York hotel

Three men accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of rape and sexual assault in separate lawsuits filed Thursday. It claims the rap impresario gave them tampered drinks and then attacked them unconscious.

The lawsuits, filed anonymously in the New York State Supreme Court by attorney Thomas Giuffra, concern incidents that allegedly occurred between 2019 and 2022. All allege Combs raped and sexually assaulted them.

One of the men, a longtime employee of Combs, told NBC News that he was raped at a New York hotel where he met with Combs to discuss a “significant amount of money” he received as a result of his secret job debt.

The man said he worked for Combs running errands from 2006 to 2018 and that while they weren’t “buddy, buddy,” he also didn’t expect to become a victim when he first met him 2020 met. The man said Combs served him a drink and after “two minutes I just feel very tired, very sleepy.”

When he came to, he said, Combs raped him, and when he tried to stop him, he said, Combs told him, “I’m almost done.”

“The phrase that keeps ringing in my head is ‘I’m almost done,'” he said. “Just stop, just stop moving. I’m almost done. I’m almost done.”

Giuffra told NBC News that the way the men accused Combs of stalking them was “very consistent, shockingly consistent, exactly consistent.” He would hit her with the drinks and knock her out.”

And when they woke up, “he would rape them,” Giuffra said.

The new complaints are the latest in a wave of lawsuits filed against Combs in recent months – with the plaintiffs all withholding their names – accusing him of assault and rape in similar circumstances since the 1990s. Combs has been behind bars since September, when he was arrested by federal agents and accused of participating in a years-long scheme to sexually abuse and exploit women.

Prosecutors said Combs, among other things, used his business empire to coerce victims into elaborate, drug-fueled “freakoffs” with male sex workers that he arranged, directed and recorded.

Combs, 55, who is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

His lawyers said he was innocent of all charges. He was denied bail three times before his criminal trial, which is scheduled to begin in May.

The three men Giuffra represents are seeking unspecified damages and a jury trial from Combs and his companies. They also don’t reveal their real names.

“They are afraid that one night someone associated with him and hired by him could end their lives,” Giuffra said.

In addition to Combs, Bad Boy Entertainment Holdings Inc., Bad Boy Entertainment LLC., Bad Boy Productions Holdings Inc., Daddy’s House Recordings Inc. and Sony Music Holdings Inc. are listed as defendants in the three lawsuits.

“These complaints are full of lies. We will prove them false and seek sanctions against any unethical attorney who filed fictitious claims against him,” Combs’ legal team said in a statement Thursday.

All of the complainants are identified as John Doe in the new lawsuits and all allege that the abuse occurred under similar circumstances, when Combs took advantage of the men by luring them into hotel rooms or his private home with the help of his associates and plying them with drugged drinks and then harassing them sexual harassment and rape.

Another complainant said he met Combs at a Manhattan nightclub in 2019 and was “recruited” by Combs’ security guards to party with him “and the rest of his entourage at the Park Hyatt Hotel for an exclusive afterparty.”

There, the lawsuit says, Combs offered him a “cocktail” he had personally prepared and then invited him and the other guests into a bedroom.

“As plaintiff entered the bedroom, the room began to spin and his mouth became very dry,” the man said, according to court documents.

Combs eventually led him to a sofa, where he lost consciousness and later woke up to Combs raping him, the lawsuit says.

The man said in the lawsuit that he tried to resist and that before he lost consciousness again, he remembered “seeing a man and a woman sitting on the bed and the rape recorded with a camera”.

The next morning, he received $2,500 from the man who recorded the alleged rape and said it came from Combs, the lawsuit says.

In the third lawsuit, a man alleged that he was “the victim of one or more criminal sexual acts” by Combs “and his associates” from 2020 to 2022.

He said that one of Combs’ “employees” at Bad Boy Records invited him to a party at Combs’ mansion in East Hampton, New York, in the summer of 2020.

At the party, he “became unwell and subsequently lost consciousness” after drinking something, the lawsuit says. “Throughout the remainder of the night, plaintiff continued to lose consciousness,” the lawsuit states.

The man said in the lawsuit that Combs and “his associates at Bad Boy Records” alternately sexually assaulted and raped him.

Combs’ legal troubles have been mounting since last year, when an ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, filed an explosive lawsuit accusing him of assault and sex trafficking over the course of their relationship.

Combs denied the allegations but settled with Ventura for an undisclosed amount. Then, a few months later, CNN obtained security video from a hotel that showed Combs brutally beating Ventura in 2016. Combs later apologized for his actions.

Since then, several other lawsuits have been filed against Combs, including one by Dawn Richard, a former member of the girl group Danity Kane. She claimed Combs groped her, assaulted her, imprisoned her and threatened her life.

Combs has denied all claims against him, calling them “disgusting accusations” from people looking for “a quick payday.”
