Sean Combs, popularly known as Diddy, faces new allegations of abuse from April Lampos in a recently filed lawsuit.
Lampos, who met Diddy in 1994 while a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, claims that Diddy offered to mentor her and help advance her career in the fashion and music industries. According to legal documents cited by In Touch, Lampos alleges that Diddy abused her multiple times over several years.
The lawsuit details accusations that Diddy coerced Lampos into sexual acts, including a 1996 incident where he allegedly forced her to perform oral sex in a parking lot and another occasion where he drugged her with ecstasy.
Lampos also claims that in late 2000 and early 2001, while Diddy was dating Jennifer Lopez, he attempted to have sex with her at her apartment forcibly. She reports she could fend him off and expel him from her property.
Lampos describes Diddy as being violent during their encounters and repeatedly threatening harm if she did not comply with his demands. This lawsuit marks Lampos as the sixth woman to come forward with allegations of sexual abuse against Diddy since late 2023, with one of the most notable previous accusations coming from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who alleges sexual abuse and trafficking.
