One of six new lawsuits filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs goes a bit further than other claims in trying to hold some of the music mogul’s celebrity friends accountable for the alleged sexual exploitation and other depravity that took place at his infamous parties.
The lawsuit filed in federal court in New York comes from a now-37-year-old woman who alleges that, as a 13-year-old girl, she was raped by Combs at a party he hosted in 2000 — with the help of an unnamed “male and female celebrity,” Deadline and TMZ reported. The 19-page filing gets a bit specific in that it says that the rape occurred at a party he hosted after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, which took place that year at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Not surprisingly, the reference to the 2000 VMAs has set off an online guessing game over who the two unnamed celebrities might be, while many online have expressed frustration that the accuser and her attorney are holding back from identifying the stars.
The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe in the court documents, said that on Sept. 7, 2000 she tried to go to the awards ceremony but couldn’t get a ticket, TMZ reported. Hanging around outside Radio City Music Hall, she said she was noticed by a driver working for Combs and brought to the party. She said the assault occurred after she went to an empty bedroom to lie down, because she felt “woozy and lightheaded” from a drink she had been given.
“Soon after, Combs, along with a male and female celebrity, entered the room,” the filing said, according to Deadline. “Combs aggressively approached Plaintiff with a crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her and said, ‘You are ready to party!’”
Combs, then 30, allegedly “threw” the girl toward another male celebrity, referred to as Celebrity A, who removed the teen’s clothing, Deadline reported.
“Plaintiff was held down by Celebrity A who vaginally raped her while Combs and Celebrity B, a female, watched,” the lawsuit said. “After the male celebrity finished, Combs then vaginally raped Plaintiff while the Celebrity A and Celebrity B watched.”

The complaint also alleged that Combs attempted to force the alleged victim to perform oral sex on him, but she resisted by hitting him in the neck, so he stopped. The woman said she escaped the room and had her father pick her up from the party.
