Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs was accused in a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit Thursday of sexually assaulting a woman he drugged on a date in 1991 in one of the last lawsuits brought under New York’s Adult Survivors Act.
The court complaint — which also accuses Combs of filming the attack — comes a week after Combs settled a bombshell rape and sexual assault lawsuit less than 24 hours after it was filed by his ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura.
The suit filed Thursday by a former Syracuse University student alleges Combs assaulted her after they had dinner at Wells Restaurant in Harlem, and he invited her back to his studio.
The lawsuit states that the drug Combs fed the woman put her “in a physical state where she could not independently stand or walk.”
Combs and the woman first went by vehicle “to a music studio where she could not get out of the car.” He then “proceeded to a place he was staying to sexually assault her,” the suit alleges.
“As was his practice … Combs video recorded the sexual assault. Days later, a male friend revealed to her that he had viewed the ‘sex tape’ along with other men,” the lawsuit says.
The woman asked how many other people had seen it, and the male friend responded, “Everyone,” the lawsuit says.
The Daily News could not immediately reach Combs’ lawyer for comment.
In her now-settled lawsuit, Ventura accused Combs of repeatedly raping her, forcing her to have sex with male sex workers while he watched and pleasured himself, and blowing up rapper Kid Cudi’s car in 2012 because he was jealous.
Ventura met Combs in 2005 when she was 19 and he was 37. They broke up in 2018. The settlement did not require Combs to admit to wrongdoing.
The case filed Thursday is one of the last brought under the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law that suspended for one year the statute of limitations for one year for victims of sex crimes to sue their alleged abusers.
