Sean "Diddy" Combs was indicted last month on charges involving s*xual misconduct, and on Monday, he was accused of assaulting a 16-year-old boy, a John Doe, at one of his white parties in the Hamptons in 1988, according to Fox News. According to Doe, things took an "unexpected turn for the worst" when Diddy escorted him to a more private area and instructed him to "drop his pants."
Per the outlet, the lawsuit stated,

"John Doe, caught completely off guard, confusingly asked Combs to repeat himself. Combs made himself clear. He instructed John Doe to drop his pants and expose his p***s so that Combs could inspect it, explaining it was a rite of passage and the route to becoming a star, and also as a way to prove himself. ‘Don't you want to break into the business?'"
Diddy took advantage of John Doe knowing he came from a place of "power and influence"
According to Fox News Digital, the now-disgraced mogul took a keen interest in the boy, claiming "the look" and could make him "into a star." John Doe, at the time, thought it was going to be his big break into the music industry.
He recalled noticing "countless celebrities and A-Listers who form the music and entertainment industry. He recognized faces he had seen on TV and on the big screen."
The lawsuit stated,
"Mr. Combs’ legendary white parties in the Hamptons were well known by many, including John Doe. The kind where countless celebrities would attend. In 1998—when John Doe was only 16 years old—he was recruited out of New York City, and indeed while residing in New York City received an invitation to one of Combs’ parties through a mutual connection. When he received the invitation, he felt like he finally had the opportunity to rub shoulders with the who’s who of the industry. He thought it could be his chance to break into the music industry."
However, at one point in the party, Diddy took him somewhere quieter and asked him to undress himself. That's when John Doe "immediately felt uncomfortable, froze and did not know what to do," while the Bad Boy Records billionaire allegedly "remained calm and stood in front of him and stretched out his hand in a cupped position."
The lawsuit continued, describing in detail how the event unfolded: Doe felt like he was in no position to deny the influential figure in front of him, and gave in to his demands.
Diddy then "moved closer" and abused the minor "with his hand" for "an extended period of time." He then let go, and told him that "his people would be in touch." Diddy allegedly went about with the party "as if nothing had happened."
Per the lawsuit, John Doe eventually came to realize what had happened to him, that Diddy used his "power and influence over John Doe because he knew John Doe wanted to become a star."
Tony Buzzbee, an esquire from Houston, brought forth the case against Combs. He also represents other victims in the same case, all of whom filed the suits on Monday.
Just last week, the attorney revealed that over 100 purported victims had come forth against the rapper, claiming he had abused them. Reportedly, several more minors have yet to file their suit.
John Doe is seeking restitution for the alleged pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, and emotional torment. Diddy is being sued under New York City’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act.
Combs' legal team has denied all charges against the mogul, noting that he has never abused anyone, "adult or minor, man or woman."
