The latest woman to accuse music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs of sexual assault claims she preserved her unwashed clothing from the night of the alleged incident in a plastic bag for over two decades. Crystal McKinney, a former model and TV star from Georgia, has alleged in a lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York that she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Sean "Diddy" Combs in 2003. McKinney, who shot to fame after winning MTV's inaugural "Model Mission" beauty pageant show in 1998 at the age of 17, was an up-and-coming model when she was invited to a Men's Fashion Week event in New York in 2003.
McKinney filed a lawsuit against the 54-year-old rapper, who is also currently under investigation for sex trafficking and facing several other sexual misconduct lawsuits. The former model alleges that she was assaulted at his studio, according to TMZ. The then-22-year-old McKinney was told by a person referred to only as "the Designer" in the filing that Combs could help in "advancing her modeling career" and arranged a meeting, the New York Post reported.
According to the lawsuit, the designer ensured that McKinney had her roots touched up to appear "platinum blonde," arranged for her to get hair extensions, and dressed her in a revealing outfit to make her appear attractive to the rapper, the outlet reported. McKinney was dressed in "a black leather coat with a fur hood, a translucent chiffon beige v-cut shirt, fur-lined handbag, and jewel-encrusted jeans," according .
