In another damning allegation against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, a new lawsuit has emerged claiming he drugged and repeatedly raped a New York City college student in the 1990s.
The latest accuser, April Lampros, alleges that she met Combs in 1995 when he offered to mentor her at the Fashion Institute of Technology. After a night of drinking at a Soho bar, Lampros claims Combs took her back to his hotel room, where he began forcibly raping her. She says she remained conscious but was unable to defend herself.
Months later, Lampros says Combs reached out and began inviting her to VIP industry events, convincing her to give him a “second chance.” However, she alleges that in a parking garage, Combs forced her to perform oral sex on him as a parking attendant witnessed the assault but did nothing.
The lawsuit also claims that in 1996, Combs “ordered” Lampros to his apartment, where he introduced her to his late ex-girlfriend, model Kim Porter. Combs allegedly forced Lampros to take ecstasy and have sex with Porter while he watched and masturbated.
Lampros cut ties with Combs in 1998, but she says she later ran into Porter at a restaurant where she worked, and Porter got her fired after claiming Lampros had tried to poison her.
This latest lawsuit comes on the heels of disturbing footage that emerged last week showing Combs viciously beating his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016. Combs has also been slapped with several other lawsuits accusing him of rape, sexual misconduct and other crimes.
The embattled billionaire has denied the allegations against him, but this new case from the 1990s adds to the growing list of women coming forward with accusations of predatory behavior by the music mogul. As the legal battles mount, Combs’ public image continues to be tarnished by these allegations of sexual assault and abuse.
