Diddy, AKA Sean Combs, is under fire once again, this time facing sexual assault accusations from a new accuser who was allegedly a minor at the time of the incident. The claims were filed in a lawsuit reported by CNN on a recent Wednesday. Harvey Pierre, a former Bad Boy Entertainment president, and Harve Pierre, along with another unnamed assailant, are implicated in the lawsuit.
Speaking out against the defamatory claims, Combs declared, "Enough is enough. I've watched silently as people have tried to assassinate my character, tarnish my reputation, and destroy my legacy. Some of the outrageous allegations made against me by those seeking a quick payday. Let me be clear: I have not committed any of the heinous acts for which I am accused. I will fight for my name, my family, and the truth."
CNN reached out to Bad Boy Entertainment for comment on the accusations against Pierre.
The lawsuit, filed under the pseudonym Jane Doe, alleges that the alleged assault occurred in 2003 when she was 17 years old. The case was filed at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
"As the complaint in the indictment alleges, the defendants engaged in sex trafficking as part of a program to exploit a vulnerable high school teenage girl by supplying her with drugs and alcohol and transporting her on a private jet to New York City, where she was raped three times at a studio," said Douglas H. Wigdor, co-founder of Wigdor LLP, in a statement to CNN. "It’s no surprise that these abominable and morally-depraved acts have caught our attention. The client bears permanent scars."
As the legal saga unfolds, Diddy's entertainment endeavors continue to thrive. The highly anticipated Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour is set to take place in July 2023.

Despite ongoing legal proceedings, Diddy's team remains undeterred, with the Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour scheduled for July 2023. The importance of keeping personal issues separate from professional pursuits within the industry becomes increasingly apparent amidst these allegations.
Key points to note from the latest developments in the sexual assault allegations against Diddy include:
- A civil lawsuit accusing Jay-Z and Diddy of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 was dropped by the accuser in February 2025.
- Despite this, Diddy faces various other civil lawsuits and federal charges. As of October 2024, lawyers were preparing to file up to 120 more lawsuits, covering allegations of rape, sex trafficking, and other forms of sexual misconduct, spanning the 2000s and 2010s.
- In September 2024, Diddy was federally charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation with the intent to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty and was denied bail due to concerns about potential witness threats and intimidation.
- In January 2025, a woman sued Diddy, claiming he sexually assaulted her when she was a 16-year-old babysitter in September 2000. This adds to the more than 40 lawsuits against him, including allegations of raping and sexually assaulting multiple individuals, including minors.
- In March 2024, the Department of Homeland Security raided Diddy's properties in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami, confiscating electronic devices and narcotics. He was arrested on September 16, 2024, and remains in federal custody.
These developments underscore the complex and evolving nature of the allegations against Diddy.
