In a troubling new development, music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs faces fresh allegations in a civil lawsuit accusing him of using baby oil laced with the powerful date rape drug GHB (Gamma hydroxybutyrate) to assault victims.
According to a report from multiple media sources, the lawsuit claims that bottles seized from Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami residences contained the drug, which can be absorbed through the skin, incapacitating victims.
The allegations follow previous accusations that Diddy orchestrated “freak-offs”—allegedly drug-fueled parties where ecstasy and GHB were reportedly found among other party supplies.
Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, previously noted that these gatherings could last for days, with substances being used to impair individuals.
These claims add to a growing number of legal battles Diddy faces, with victims claiming to have been doused with GHB and subjected to sexual assault.
GHB is commonly known as a “date rape” drug because it renders victims unconscious or vulnerable to manipulation.
Legal experts are closely watching the case as it unfolds, as it may lead to further legal scrutiny of high-profile individuals accused of exploiting their positions of power to commit sexual misconduct.
The lawsuit has prompted a larger conversation about the abuse of power and the use of substances to enable assaults.
