In a shocking development, a woman has come forward with allegations of rape against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, adding to the mounting accusations against him.
According to TMZ, April Lampros has filed a lawsuit claiming that Diddy sexually assaulted her in the 1990s while she was a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Lampros alleges that Diddy offered to mentor her in the fashion industry, showering her with gifts before the alleged rape.
She recalls waking up the next morning feeling “nude, sore, and confused,” with a growing sense of horror about what had transpired.
According to the lawsuit, Diddy took advantage of Lampros’s ambition and desire for success, manipulating her into attending music events where he allegedly forced her to perform oral sex.
Lampros states that when she began to ignore Diddy’s calls and advances, he became angry and threatened to blackball her in the industry if she continued to avoid him.
The accusations further detail a harrowing incident in which Lampros claims Diddy ordered her to his apartment. There, she was allegedly coerced into having sex with Kim Porter while Diddy watched and masturbated before he raped her again.
Lampros asserts that she ended her relationship with Diddy in 1998, but the harassment did not stop there. She recounts an encounter with Porter at a diner where Porter allegedly forced the owner to fire Lampros or face retaliation from Diddy.
In her lawsuit, Lampros also alleges that during a subsequent encounter, Diddy attempted to assault her again, but she managed to fight him off.
She claims that sexual videos of her and Diddy have been shown to her boyfriends in attempts to embarrass and intimidate her.
April Lampros is suing Diddy for sexual assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, seeking justice for the trauma she endured.
April’s attorney is also representing Rodney Jones and Liza Gardner in the lawsuits they filed against Diddy late last year. Additionally, he’s representing Grace O’Marcaigh who sued Diddy’s son, Christian Combs, alleging sexual assault.
The Lampros suit comes on the heels of former model Crystal McKinney suing Diddy earlier this week for an alleged sexual assault in 2003.
These allegations come at a time when Diddy faces increasing scrutiny over his past behavior, with multiple women stepping forward with similar claims.
The legal and entertainment communities will be watching closely as this case unfolds, potentially impacting Diddy’s career and public image significantly.
