Diddy Faces New Lawsuit Alleging Battery and Sexual Assault

In addition to these accusations, Lampros claims Diddy assaulted her at her apartment around 2000 or 2001. The lawsuit names Diddy, his label Bad Boy Records, and Arista Records as defendants.

Lampros is the second woman to sue Diddy this week. On Tuesday, Crystal McKinney filed a federal lawsuit alleging Diddy assaulted her in his New York recording studio when she was 22. She also claims he promised to help her career but later “blackballed” her from the modeling industry.

Similarly, Lampros’ lawsuit states that Diddy promised to mentor her and help her connect with music and fashion industry executives, making her fear he would ruin her career if she disobeyed him. The complaint includes several photos, a Valentine’s Day card, and a Father’s Day celebration invite.

Lampros’ lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, also represents other accusers. Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, a producer on Diddy’s latest album, accused Diddy of sexual assault and harassment in a February lawsuit. Last month, Grace O’Marcaigh accused Christian Combs of sexually assaulting her in December 2022. The Combs family’s lawyers have denied all these claims.

Attorney Shawn Holley called Jones a “liar” seeking an “undeserved payday,” stating they have “overwhelming, indisputable proof” that Jones’ claims are lies. Holley said their attempts to share this proof with Blackburn have been ignored.

Diddy is also facing multiple other lawsuits, including one from an anonymous accuser alleging rape when she was 17 and another from his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie, accusing him of rape, sex trafficking, and physical abuse. Combs and Cassie settled for an undisclosed amount shortly after the lawsuit was filed.

In November, Joi Dickerson-Neal filed a lawsuit against Combs, alleging she was drugged, sexually assaulted, and the victim of “revenge porn.” Diddy has denied all claims against him.

In a separate incident, a surveillance video showed Combs physically assaulting Ventura in 2016. Combs posted an apology video on May 19, taking full responsibility for his actions in the video.

In March, Diddy’s homes in California and Florida were searched by U.S. Homeland Security as part of an “ongoing” federal investigation related to sex trafficking out of New York.
