Sean “Diddy” Combs and Aaron Hall III are the subjects of a civil lawsuit filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act. The plaintiff, identified in the lawsuit as Jane Doe, accuses Combs and Hall of raping her and a friend during an encounter in either 1990 and 1991. The plaintiff also accuses Combs of coming to her home and becoming violent days after the initial encounter.
The plaintiff says her interactions with Combs and Hall began in the early 1990s when she and a friend attended an event hosted by Uptown Records distributor MCA Records. The lawsuit depicts Combs and Hall as “very flirtatious,” “handsy” and “offering [the two women] drinks throughout the night.” After the event, the plaintiff claims they were invited back to Hall’s apartment.
“While at Hall’s apartment, Jane Doe was offered more drinks and was coerced into having sex with Combs,” the filing reads, according to Rolling Stone.
“After Combs finished doing his business, Jane Doe laid in bed, shocked and traumatized. As she was in the process of getting dressed, Hall barged into the room, pinned her down and forced Jane Doe to have sex with him.”
Days after the MCA Records event, the plaintiff alleges Combs came to her apartment “because he was worried that she would tell the girl he was with at the time what he and Hall had done to them.” During the encounter, the lawsuit alleges Combs was “irate and began assaulting and choking Jane Doe to the point that she passed out.”
After her second encounter with Combs, the plaintiff says she “informed her close friends and family about what had occurred.” She also says she received medical treatment “to heal from the trauma visited upon her by Combs and Hall.”
Combs nor Hall has issued a statement regarding this particular lawsuit.
