Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Accuser Speaks Out: “It Affects Every Single Thing You Do”
An anonymous accuser, identified only as John Doe, has detailed the alleged sexual assault he endured at the hands of Sean “Diddy” Combs nearly two decades ago in an interview with CNN.
This is the first time a civil accuser has spoken publicly about their experience with the music mogul.
Doe’s account, corroborated by an amended civil lawsuit filed this week, alleges that in 2007, while working security at one of Combs’ infamous White Parties in the Hamptons, he was drugged with what he believes were GHB and ecstasy and subsequently sodomized by Combs. The initial complaint contained inconsistencies, including the year of the alleged assault and Doe’s marital status, which his attorneys have since corrected.
Doe described feeling “extremely ill” after consuming two alcoholic drinks provided by Combs. He claims Combs then forcibly pushed him into a vehicle where the assault occurred, despite Doe’s pleas for help.
“I wasn’t able to stand,” Doe said, describing the incapacitating effect of the alleged drugs. “It was just an amazing level of incapacitation…I felt powerless.”
He further said that after the alleged assault, he struggled to leave the party due to the lingering effects of the drugs and the pain he was experiencing. He reported the incident to his supervisor, but claims he was subsequently dismissed from his security job and “blacklisted.”
The trauma, Doe explained, has had a devastating impact on his life. His marriage ended, and he struggles with lasting emotional and mental health issues. He also revealed, for the first time, that a high-profile celebrity witnessed the alleged assault, describing their reaction as “amusing.”
Doe’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, who is representing at least 120 accusers against Combs, has filed 20 civil suits against the music executive. Combs, currently in federal custody awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges (to which he has pleaded not guilty), has denied all allegations of wrongdoing in the numerous civil lawsuits filed against him.
While Combs’ representatives declined to comment specifically on Doe’s allegations, they previously issued a statement asserting Combs’ innocence and confidence in the judicial process.
Doe’s decision to remain anonymous reflects his desire for privacy, saying “I would prefer what little is left of it to be left alone.”
