Diddy Accused of Sexually Assaulting Three Men in Disturbing New Lawsuits, Will Smith Denies Connection to Scandal

Three new lawsuits filed Thursday in New York accuse Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting multiple men, adding to the avalanche of civil claims already pending against the music mogul.

The complaints, submitted to New York Supreme Court, detail alleged assaults between 2019 and 2022. Two of the plaintiffs say Combs “personally offered” them alcoholic drinks at parties, after which they lost consciousness and were attacked. A third man, who says he once worked for Combs, alleges the rapper drugged and assaulted him during a meeting about unpaid wages.

Combs, 55, is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He faces federal charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, has pleaded not guilty, and has been denied bail three times. A trial is scheduled for May 2025.

His attorneys, who have called the growing number of allegations “full of lies,” recently secured a court order allowing Combs daily access to a discovery laptop in jail, though under strict conditions. In a statement to the BBC, they said: “We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him.”

The men, who filed anonymously, say they fear Combs’ “reach and influence,” according to their lawsuits. Attorney Thomas Giuffra, representing the three plaintiffs, said his office has fielded inquiries from more than 60 people with claims against Combs.

In one case, an anonymous plaintiff said he felt disoriented at a private gathering in 2019 after Combs “personally offered” him a cocktail. He recalled moments of consciousness during which he was being recorded and assaulted. Another plaintiff alleges that, during a 2020 party at Combs’ East Hampton home, he began losing consciousness after drinking alcohol Combs provided, and “fading in and out” as Combs and others “took turns” raping him. The third man claims he was drugged and assaulted by Combs in February 2020 during a hotel meeting arranged to discuss unpaid wages.

Meanwhile, actor and musician Will Smith recently told a San Diego audience he has no connection to Combs, addressing online speculation by saying: “I don’t have s*** to do with Puffy, so y’all can stop all the memes.”
