Crystal McKinney claimed the rap mogul assaulted her in 2003 when she was 22 years old Diddy has been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a former model. According to TMZ , Crystal McKinney has filed a lawsuit against the rap mogul claiming the incident occurred after a Men’s Fashion Week event in New York City in 2003. McKinney alleged she went back to Diddy’s (real name Sean Combs) apartment, where he and his friends were reportedly drinking Hennessy and passing around joints.
The former model claimed the joint was “very powerful”, as if she was floating, leading her to suspect it was laced with a narcotic. Afterwards, she claimed Diddy demanded she follow him to the bathroom, where she alleged he kissed her and initiated oral sex forcibly, despite McKinney refusing. The lawsuit states McKinney tried to walk away, but lost consciousness.
According to the lawsuit, she then woke up in a taxi, realising she had been sexually assaulted. The lawsuit does not make clear whether her realisation stemmed from the alleged forced oral sex or from another sex act that might have occurred when McKinney was passed out. McKinney claimed she was blackballed from the industry, leading to severe depression and a later suicide attempt in 2004.
She is seeking an unspecified amount of damages. NME have contacted Diddy’s representatives for comment. Diddy Combs (Photo by Shareif Ziyadat/Getty Images for Sean “Diddy” Combs) The new allegations from McKinney are the latest in.
