Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces fresh accusations of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed on Thursday in the Manhattan Supreme Court. This comes just days after the settlement of another lawsuit that accused him of rape and abuse.
According to court documents, Joi Dickerson-Neal alleges that Diddy, 54, drugged and raped her during her time as a college student at Syracuse University in 1991. Attorneys for Dickerson-Neal assert that she became a victim of "revenge porn" when the music mogul purportedly recorded the incident and shared the tape within the music industry.
Diddy vehemently denies the allegations, asserting that Dickerson-Neal fabricated the entire story.

Navigating Allegations
As per the allegations outlined in the complaint, Dickerson-Neal was acquainted with Diddy through mutual friends and had appeared alongside him in a music video. Jonathan Goldhirsh, Dickerson-Neal’s lawyer, mentioned in a press release that the victim was already aware of Diddy’s purported mistreatment of women at the time they crossed paths and approached their interactions cautiously.
During a date, which Dickerson-Neal claims she reluctantly agreed to, she asserts that she was drugged after leaving her drink unattended at the table with Diddy, subsequently finding herself unable to stand or walk independently.
The documents claim that days later, a male friend disclosed that he had seen the alleged sex tape along with other individuals. Disturbed by this revelation, Ms. Dickerson inquired about the number of people who had seen it, to which he allegedly responded, "Everyone."
