A man who has sued Sean “Diddy” Combs for rape detailed the alleged assault in a bombshell new interview Wednesday, claiming the disgraced music mogul was “abusive beyond belief” toward him.
“I was screaming. I was telling him to stop. It was incredibly painful,” the accuser, known as John Doe, said in a sit-down with CNN, in which his identity was further concealed by masking his voice and face.
He claimed while Combs, now 55, allegedly committed the horrific act, he acted “like it was nothing,” adding, “He seemed to be disconnected from it. But it was abusive beyond belief.”
Doe said he was so intoxicated that he “wasn’t able to stand,” noting, “It was just an amazing level of incapacitation that I had never experienced before and I felt powerless.”
The alleged victim told the news program that the attack took place at a White Party Combs hosted in the Hamptons in 2007. However, those details contradict what was stated in his original complaint.
The suit, which was filed back in October, said the alleged assault occurred in 2006 and also noted that he had never married due to his alleged trauma. The latter claim was also contradicted in the sit-down.
According to CNN, Doe’s lawyer, Tony Buzbee, who is representing at least 120 others who claims to also be victims of Combs, amended the complaint once the outlet informed him of the mistakes.
Combs’ lawyers tell Page Six in response to Doe’s interview, “After Buzbee was exposed this week for pressuring clients to bring bogus cases against Mr. Combs, and after public records showed that—contrary to his allegations—there was no white party in the Hamptons in 2006, Buzbee amended this complaint to walk back the allegations and now claim a different day and wholly different year.”
Doe, meanwhile, has stood by his account of the events, sharing that he was at the party in the first place as an employee since he had been hired to work security.
However, the anonymous man claimed that at one point in the evening, Combs himself offered him “really strong drinks,” and by the second one, he felt it was “already too late,” as he had lost control of himself.
“Sadly, Sean Combs was waiting in the wings,” the accuser alleged to CNN.
“He was watching from some sort of vantage point, and once I was in a helpless position and he was sure that he was in a position of power, then he took advantage of the situation.”
Doe claimed that Combs assaulted him inside of an SUV and that there “was one high-profile individual who saw what happened and found it amusing.”
He did not disclose further details about who the celeb was, but his interview comes just days after Jay-Z was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at a MTV afterparty after Combs allegedly did so, as well.
The “Big Pimpin’” rapper, also 55, has denied the “heinous” allegations, claiming that Buzbee tried to extort him via a “confidential mediation” but then named him in the suit after refusing to pay up.
Jay has filed to dismiss the lawsuit and his lawyer, Alex Spiro, has since accused Buzbee of encouraging a woman to lie about what Combs allegedly did to her to fuel his alleged agenda.
Buzbee has denied the allegations made by the “Empire State of Mind” rapper’s legal team, and has maintained that he has been bullied and harassed.
His client, Doe, told CNN that although this is coming to light now, he has had to live out with the fallout from the alleged assault for years.
He claimed that when he informed his manager of what Combs allegedly did to him, he was “cut out” of everything and “totally blacklisted” from the security field. He has also struggled with mental health issues.
Doe said he has chosen to remain anonymous to “have a semblance of a life, a very quiet life.”
He concluded, “I would prefer what little is left of it to be left alone. Nothing could give me back the person I was before that evening.”
In response to the original lawsuit, Combs’ team previously said, “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.”
The “Bad Boy for Life” rapper is currently behind bars in Brooklyn, NY, waiting for his trial to start May 5.
In September, he was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution following a months-long probe by the federal government that included raids on his homes.
Combs has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
Aside from that case and Buzbee’s lawsuits, he is facing several other civil suits for sexual misconduct.
