Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing six new civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and rape spanning over two decades. Filed on Monday in a federal court in Manhattan, the lawsuits accuse Combs of sexually assaulting six individuals, including two women and four men, between 1995 and 2021. One accuser claims he was 16 years old when Combs allegedly assaulted him at a White Party in 1998. The allegations include drugging, rape, sodomy, molestation of a minor, and threats of violence, including threats to kill. According to one lawsuit, Combs told the then-teen, "Don't you want to be a star?" and suggested that the acts were a rite of passage to becoming a music star. The lawsuits assert that Combs abused his position in the music industry to exploit and harm his victims.
