Diddy (real name Sean Combs) was sued yet again this week, and the case’s legal paperwork reveals that the defendant is in possession of what could be a decisive piece of evidence.
A woman named Crystal McKinney recently filed a lawsuit against the mogul for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting her during Men’s Fashion Week more than two decades ago. In addition to Diddy, the filing names Bad Boy Records, Sean John Clothing and Universal Music as defendants.

According to court documents, the plaintiff “saved the unwashed clothing from that night in her closet where they remain in a plastic wrap.”
McKinney was a model who began working at the age of 17 back in 1998. She claims she met the businessman in 2003 at the aforementioned event, where he apparently “made a very public display of coming on to Plaintiff in a sexually suggestive manner.”

Following dinner, they went back to his studio. There, she claims to have taken a hit of a “very powerful” joint that Diddy and his friends were sharing, adding that it was laced.
He then “physically led” her to a bathroom, according to the complaint, and forced her to “perform oral sex on him.”

After that, McKinney says she passed out and awoke in a cab.
“As her consciousness returned, Plaintiff realized that she had been sexually assaulted by Combs,” the complaint reads, following which she was allegedly “blackballed” her from modeling career. She claims this pushed her to attempt suicide the following year.

HipHopDX has reached out to Diddy’s representatives for comment, but have not heard back as of this writing.
This is not the only alleged assault from 2003 that Diddy is currently negotiating. Late last year, a different woman sued him over a separate alleged assault from that same time frame.

In that suit, the woman claims that Diddy, then-Bad Boy president Harve Pierre, and a third man raped her after she was plied with drugs and alcohol. The alleged incident, she says, took place when she was still in high school.
The embattled Bad Boy mogul has denied these charges.
He addressed the matter in a recent legal filing, which read in part: “Mr. Combs and his companies categorically deny Plaintiff’s decades-old tale against them, which has already caused incalculable damage to the reputations and business standing of the Combs Defendants, even before any evidence has been presented.
“Plaintiff cannot allege what day or time of year the alleged incident occurred, yet purports to miraculously recall the most prurient details with specificity.

“This case should be dismissed now, with prejudice, to protect the Combs Defendants from further reputational injury and before more party and judicial resources are squandered.”
