A professional athlete allegedly stopped a drunk Sean “Diddy” Combs from sexually assaulting a luxury car businessman at one of his celeb-filled parties, a new lawsuit claims.
The alleged victim, only identified as “John Doe,” claims the attack unfolded during a launch party for Combs’ Ciroc vodka brand around 2022, the court papers state.
The man, who runs a Los Angeles-based business renting luxury cars and jewelry, alleges Combs stripped off his pants and exposed himself after inviting the guest into his private office during the event.
“Combs continued to move closer and then grabbed Plaintiff’s genitals through his pants, squeezing them in a rough and sexual manner,” the suit alleges.
“Plaintiff, shocked and disoriented, frozen momentarily and did not know how to respond to the weirdly inappropriate sexual advance made by Combs.”
The alleged attack only stopped when the unnamed sports star — only identified in the suit as “Professional Athlete A” — came into the office and intervened, the filing charges.
The businessman allegedly fled the room and immediately left the party, according to court papers.
He claims he only decided to attend the event after Combs, who for years had been one of his customers, told him that other “high-profile guests in the music and entertainment business” would be there.
At one point during the party, the alleged victim said, he snapped a photo of Combs sitting on a couch with “other high profile individuals.”
