It's no secret that Diddy's life has been nothing short of drama-filled, but this latest accusation could take the cake! Kathi Steininger, a resident of Vienna, has made headlines by accusing the ageless music producer of a despicable crime [Puls 24].
The alleged event went down after Combs' spectacular performance at the now-defunct Libro Music Hall in March 2000. Steininger, who was only 19 at the time and working as a moderator for an online station, was present at the event professionally. After the concert, she opted to conduct an interview with the then Puff Daddy on the Olympia P9 club grounds.
But here's where things take a dark turn. With her cameraman presumably lost in the shuffle, Steininger found herself brushed aside by Combs' bodyguards and escorted onto his tour bus. Under the guise of it being too noisy to conduct the interview in the club, Diddy offered her drinks that he poured himself. Steininger suspects those drinks were laced with date-rape drugs or similar substances, leading to the alleged rape that followed.

Steininger has waged her battle on two fronts, contacting US lawyers and filing a complaint in Austria. The Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office has confirmed the lodging of the complaint to Puls 24. However, the investigations have hit a speed bump, with proceedings temporarily suspended.
Navigating the legalities of this case is a complex dance involving both Austrian and U.S. judicial systems. Pursuing foreign crimes in the U.S. is a rare occurrence, so there are no guarantees that the allegations will be put to trial here [ntv.de]. In Austria, the statute of limitations has long since expired on rape cases, but a conviction in the U.S. could put the Vienna case back on the table [ntv.de].
