Three women are speaking out about their sexual assault lawsuits against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs for the first time. In a report by Rolling Stone, published on Tuesday, May 28, Joi Dickerson-Neal, Crystal McKinney, and an anonymous “Jane Doe” revealed insight into their individual experiences. “It isn’t about money,” Dickerson-Neal, who filed a lawsuit against Diddy, 54, in the New York Supreme Court in November 2023, told the outlet.
“It’s about making sure the world sees that this man who rose to the level of an ‘icon’ is actually sick and has left so many victims in [the wake of his] unpunished disgusting behaviour for years.” Dickerson-Neal starred alongside the music mogul in a 1990 music video and claimed he asked her on a dinner date in 1991. According to Dickerson-Neal, Combs allegedly “drugged, sexually assaulted and abused” her during their meeting.
Court documents obtained by Us Weekly at the time also include Dickerson-Neal alleging she was the victim of “revenge porn” that Diddy created and distributed. McKinney, 43, shared her own alleged experience with the outlet. “I had a whole future [in modelling] mapped out that was stolen from me.
Being sexually assaulted and having no recourse is so painful,” the model, who filed a lawsuit against Combs on Tuesday, May 21, said. McKinney claimed she connected with Diddy in 2003 at a Men’s Fashion Week event at Cipriani Downtown in New York City and he subsequently invited her to his music.
