Sean “Diddy” Combs Faces Second Sexual Assault Lawsuit in One Month
American hip-hop icon Sean “Diddy” Combs is embroiled in another legal battle this month as he faces allegations of sexual assault for the second time.
The latest lawsuit, filed by Joi Dickerson-Neal, accuses Diddy of drugging and raping her in 1991 during her college days at Syracuse University in New York.
In documents obtained by TMZ, Neal detailed her encounter with the rapper, stating that after a dinner date in Harlem, Diddy took her to a recording studio.
She alleges that he may have drugged her meal, leaving her barely conscious and unable to stand when attempting to exit his car.

Neal contends that after leaving the studio, Diddy drove her to a residence where the sexual assault occurred. Shockingly, she claims that not only did Diddy film the incident, but he also showed the footage to multiple individuals.
Filed on Thursday under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which allows sexual assault victims a one-year window to file civil lawsuits beyond the statute of limitations, Neal’s lawsuit must be submitted by Friday, November 24, 2023.
A representative for Diddy vehemently denied the allegations, branding the lawsuit as “a money grab.“
The statement read, “This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head. Ms. Dickerson’s 32-year-old story is made up and not credible. Mr. Combs never assaulted her and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more.”
This marks the second sexual assault case against Diddy this month. Last week, his ex-girlfriend Cassandra Ventura filed a lawsuit, accusing the artist of physical and sexual abuse throughout their decade-long relationship. While initially denying the allegations, Diddy reached a settlement just one day after the suit was filed.
