The first woman to file a case was his ex-partner, Cassie, who sued him in November 2023 for sexual assault for more than a decade. Diddy’s legal team denied the accusations. However, the complaint triggered other women to come forward with their own accounts.
An unidentified woman joined the accusers by stating that she was attacked by the producer when she was a minor. Subsequently, Joi Dickerson-Neal, who appeared in some of the artist’s music videos, denounced the singer for sexual misconduct, sex trafficking and supplying drugs to minors.
Music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones has filed the most recent allegations of sexual harassment and assault. According to his testimony, Combs also harassed his eight-year-old daughter, as well as his ex-partners and loved ones.
