Sean 'Diddy' Combs hit with new $10 million lawsuit; dancer claims he was DRUGGED, given an STD
As jurors continue deliberations in Sean Diddy Combs’ high-profile federal sex trafficking case, the music has been slapped with a new legal battle.
According to a report on Variety, a new $10 million lawsuit has been filed against him in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging sexual abuse, drugging, and intentional transmission of a sexually transmitted disease.
The complaint, filed Tuesday night by Edmond Laurent, a former model, actor, and exotic dancer, accuses Combs and several unnamed individuals of assault, battery, sexual battery, civil conspiracy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and aiding and abetting.
Laurent, a native of Dominica who performed under the name “Islander,” claims the abuse began in the late 2000s after he was hired to perform at a private event at a Los Angeles hotel. According to the 32-page lawsuit, Laurent arrived at what he thought was a bachelorette party, only to find a masked man and woman waiting for a private dance. That man, he alleges, was Sean Combs .
The suit details multiple alleged encounters in which Laurent says he was manipulated into consuming spiked drinks and forced into non-consensual sexual acts, including one incident where he lost consciousness after drinking orange juice that was allegedly laced with Rohypnol and ketamine.
“When Plaintiff regained consciousness, he was lying naked on the bed, slathered in baby oil, and felt immense pressure and pain in his rectum,” the complaint states. Laurent alleges that he later contracted condyloma and began experiencing severe health issues, including uncontrollable vomiting and an inability to retain solid food. These complications, according to the lawsuit, led to gastric surgery and a subsequent diagnosis of stomach cancer.
The suit claims that Laurent, a heterosexual man once featured in music videos for Britney Spears , Tupac Shakur , Dr. Dre, Lil’ Kim, and even an episode of Baywatch, was targeted and silenced by fear and shame for years before deciding to come forward.
Combs is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits a verdict in a separate federal case involving charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution.
