Disgraced American music mogul, Diddy, has been sued by another woman who accused him over multiple sexual assaults.
A TMZ report sighted by Africa Publicity reveals that the accuser, April Lampros, claims the sexual assaults started back in the 1990s after she and Diddy met in New York City. She claims at the time she was a student at Fashion Institute of Technology.
According to Lampros, Diddy offered to mentor her in the fashion industry. “Combs promised to mentor her and help her by introducing her to music and fashion industry executives as well as assisting her with finding work,” Lampros’ lawsuit states.
But after showering her with several gifts and flowers, she says she and Diddy met up in 1995 at a SoHo Bar, where he plied her with alcohol and subsequently brought her back to his room at the Millennium Hotel.
In the court documents, April claims she started to feel ill and as if “the walls were closing in on her” as Diddy allegedly started to force himself on her.
According to April, she was still conscious, but unable to defend herself when Diddy began touching her.
April in her suit, details one rape that allegedly occurred in 1995, as well as a sexual assault sometime after the first incident that took place inside a car, which she says a parking attendant witnessed.
Also, she alleges there was a 1996 incident during which Diddy, real name Sean Combs, forced her and his girlfriend Kim Porter (who died in 2018 and shared four children with Combs) to take ecstasy and have sex together before he raped her.
Furthermore, April Lampros alleges Diddy sexually assaulted her at her apartment in either 2000 or 2001. The lawsuit names Diddy, his label Bad Boy Records and Arista Records as defendants.
“She felt that if she disobeyed him, he would take away her dreams of pursuing a career in his world. Mr. Combs would also threaten to blacklist her in the industry if she tried to mess with him in any way,” according to the suit which includes several photos, including one of the two of them and “a friend” at Bad Boy Studios, an alleged Valentine’s Day card and Father’s Day celebration invite.
April Lampros is therefore suing Diddy for damages and attorney’s fees.
Several women have in the past accused Diddy of rape and his home has already been raided by US law enforcement officials as part ongoing investigations into his rape allegations.
