Woman Claims Diddy Raped Her When She Was a Teen Babysitter

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of rape by another alleged victim in a new lawsuit.

In the complaint, which was filed in New York and obtained by Us Weekly, the woman claimed Diddy raped her in 2000 when she was a 16-year-old high school student. The plaintiff, who was identified as Jane Doe, said she was living in Manhattan with her parents and claimed to be working as a babysitter in an apartment building where Diddy’s partner also lived. (It is unclear who the romantic partner was.)

The accuser claimed she came across Diddy, now 55, and two other men who allegedly worked for him. Diddy repeatedly asked her whether she wanted a ride home, which she refused before ultimately getting in the car with him.

The woman alleged that she became concerned when she was not dropped off at her house, claiming that she was offered a drink to “calm her down.” The plaintiff alleged that the drink made her feel “groggy” and “unsteady.”

The accuser claimed she was taken to another location by Diddy and his two employees before he raped her. The woman was then taken to her home. (The other two employees are not named in the lawsuit.)

Diddy’s legal team denied the accusations in a statement to Us.

“No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor,” the statement read. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”

The new lawsuit is one of many against Diddy since his ex Cassie accused him of sexual abuse in a bombshell lawsuit in November 2023. Diddy’s lawyer Ben Brafman denied the accusations on his behalf at the time, and Cassie and Diddy settled out of court one day after her court filing. Last year, a 2016 video that showed Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel resurfaced. Diddy publicly apologized for his actions.

In March 2024, several of Diddy’s residences — including homes in Miami and Los Angeles — were raided by Homeland Security in connection to a sex trafficking investigation. Six months later, Diddy was arrested on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. As he awaits a criminal trial in May, Diddy has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

“Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process,” read a statement to Us in October 2024. “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman.”
