A woman accusing Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of sexual assault has claimed he cursed and said threatening words to her prior to her alleged attack, according to court documents.
The unnamed woman made the claims, which detailed her version of events that occurred in Los Angeles in 2016, in a complaint filed in the New York State Supreme Court and reported on by People on Thursday, February 13.
Per the complaint, the woman alleged that after being approached by Combs, 55, and his entourage at an L.A. club, she declined an offer of a drink only for the rapper to respond aggressively.
“Bitch, I’m not asking you. Drink that s– and shut the f— up,” he reportedly replied, per the legal document’s claims.
According to the complaint, the woman felt pressured to consume the drink, after which Combs allegedly placed his arm around her, then “shoved his left hand up her skirt, forcefully penetrating her with his fingers while telling the plaintiff, “Bitch, I do what I want, take that s—.”
The complaint also claimed Combs laughed at her attempts to rebuff him and appeared “amused by her distress.”

Combs’ accuser also alleged in the legal document that she felt “felt dizzy, light-headed, and unable to stand without support” after she returning to her hotel via taxi and the following morning discovered injuries such as tearing and bruising around her genital area, “likely resulting from the assault.” (Combs is not accused of spiking her drink in the complaint.)
Combs’ attorneys denied the music mogul has perpetrated any acts of sexual violence in a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday, February 13.
“No matter how many lawsuits are filed—especially by individuals who refuse to put their own names behind their claims—it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor,” the statement reads. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”
Combs is facing more than two dozen lawsuits and has been in jail since September 2024, when he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. A 14-page indictment claimed that Diddy “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him” for decades. (The rapper has denied all charges against him via his legal team.)
