Sean “Diddy” Combs faces a new accusation amid his ongoing legal issues. A federal indictment and several lawsuits claim that Combs once dangled a woman over a 17th‑floor hotel balcony. This new allegation appears alongside previous charges that include s*x trafficking and racketeering.
According to legal documents, the incident allegedly took place during a night of heavy intoxication. The accusations are part of multiple lawsuits that detail events dating back to 2015 and 2016.
As the case unfolds, Combs remains in custody in Brooklyn, and jury selection is set to begin later this month as the trial draws near.

New allegations and legal background are emerging in court filings against Diddy
Recent legal filings reveal that the claim about the balcony incident is mentioned in a federal indictment and is supported by similar accounts in two civil lawsuits. One suit, brought by Casandra Ventura in 2023, describes how Diddy allegedly used force and intimidation during a night out.
Another lawsuit, filed by Bryana Bongolan, provides comparable details, stating that the incident occurred in 2016 and involved an alleged aggressive physical behavior on a 17th‑floor balcony. Both filings portray a scenario where Diddy was reportedly highly intoxicated and aggressive. These legal documents have now added this specific allegation to the list of claims against him.

Lawsuit details and official statements include accounts from witnesses and media reports
Civil filings provide detailed descriptions that closely resemble one another. Ventura’s account states that during an evening celebration in August 2015, she was compelled to leave a party and later taken to a hotel suite, where Diddy reportedly engaged in harmful behavior.
In a separate lawsuit, Bongolan describes an incident on a balcony where Diddy allegedly grabbed her and lifted her over the railing. In a statement to Rolling Stone after the suit was filed, a legal representative for Combs said,
“Anyone has the right to file a lawsuit, regardless of the evidence.”
stressing that Combs remains confident the claims will be dismissed. Such statements continue to be a part of the media reporting on the case.

Legal responses and trial updates indicate a contested future
Diddy's legal representatives have consistently denied the allegations made in both criminal and civil cases. While Diddy has pleaded not guilty to most of the charges, his response to the latest allegations has drawn media attention.
His legal team argues that the claims are inconsistent with previous evidence and that several of the lawsuits may be driven by personal grievances. With jury selection underway and the trial scheduled to begin in May, further evidence is expected to emerge. Court hearings in the coming weeks will likely shed more light on the specific details of the events described in the filings.
As the legal process continues, new details about the balcony allegation and related claims keep emerging. Both criminal and civil lawsuits have added layers to a case that spans several years and multiple accusations.
Combs remains in custody, and his next court appearance is eagerly anticipated by media outlets and legal experts alike. While a number of these allegations have now been formally added to the federal indictment; the trial will be the venue where evidence and testimony are examined closely. The coming weeks will be critical in determining how these serious allegations are ultimately resolved or addressed.
