In a filing at the federal district court in Manhattan on Tuesday, former model Crystal McKinney shared her experience with Diddy.
The model said she met the rapper at a Men’s Fashion Week event at Cipriani Downtown in New York.
McKinney, who was 22 at the time, claimed Diddy invited her to join him and a group of men who were drinking and smoking marijuana.
She said she was offered a joint, which she later believed was laced with a “narcotic or other intoxicating substance”.
After she “insisted that she had enough,” McKinney said Diddy pressured her to keep drinking and smoking, then demanded she follow him to the bathroom.
The model alleged he forced himself on her, kissing her and pushing her head to his crotch, commanding her to “suck it”.
McKinney claimed that she refused, but Diddy “pushed my head down and forced oral sex”.
The model said she lost consciousness and woke up in a taxi, realizing she had been sexually assaulted.
She also claimed that after the incident, she was blacklisted from the modeling industry, suffered severe depression, and attempted suicide in 2004.
McKinney said decided to speak up after seeing lawsuits from Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura and other women.
“To this day, Plaintiff experiences bouts of depression, anxiety, body image issues, feelings of worthlessness and intimacy issues because of Combs’s assault,” the lawsuit says, while also accusing the rapper of using his influence to ruin her career.
This comes a few days after Diddy apologized after he was seen in a video physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016.
