Diddy sued once more: Disgraced rapper, 54, hit with sexual assault go well with

A woman named April Lampros says Diddy sexually assaulted her on numerous occasions decades back in New York City.

The woman, who publicly identified herself as April Lampros, said that the assaults took place in New York City during the 1990s and early 2000s, according to court docs obtained by Dailymail.com.

Lampros said Diddy attacked her on multiple occasions throughout the years, once directly involving his late ex-girlfriend Kim Porter in 1996, and on another occasion during the timeframe he was seeing Jennifer Lopez in 2001.

The latest lawsuit comes days after the embattled hip-hop mogul was sued by a former model who claims he drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2003.

The latest allegation of sex assault against the musical artist comes less than a week after Diddy said he was ‘truly sorry’ he beat his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016 after CNN released video of the attack.

Lampros said in court docs that she was attending the Fashion Institute of Technology when Diddy volunteered to be a mentor for her, according to the court docs. 

Lampros told the court that during a 1995 meeting at the SoHo bar, he got her very intoxicated, and then took her back to a room he had at the Millennium Hotel.

Lampros said that in the encounter – before which Diddy gave her ‘gifts and flowers’ – she felt sick and like ‘the walls were closing in on her.’

Lampros said she was conscious but not able to physically prevent Diddy from sexually assaulting her, and the next day was ‘nude, sore and confused.’

Lampros told the court Diddy contacted her months later in an effort to romantically pursue her, the outlet reported.

Lampros was described as a ‘hopeful yet naïve college student’ who took Diddy ‘at his word and believed that the first rape was a possible mulligan and decided to give him a second chance.’

Diddy used his entrée into to exclusive music industry events to lure Lampros into seeing him again, her lawyers said in the suit.

Lampros told the court Diddy again turned sexually predatory in his behavior, as he forced her to engage in oral sex with him while in a parking garage headed to dinner. A garage attendant was witness to the exchange, but that did not deter Diddy from continuing with the assault, Lampros said in court docs. 

Lampros told the court that she subsequently spurned further invitations to get together with Diddy, who ‘was not good at accepting rejection’ and ‘became angry, threatening and forceful’ in his communications with her.

Diddy ‘developed this mobster persona’ and ‘began calling Lampros incessantly and would often call her just to say, “If anyone is in your apartment, I will beat your a** and theirs,”‘ Lampros told the court.

Lampros said she felt personally and professionally by Diddy, as ‘would also threaten to blacklist her in the industry if she tried to mess with him in any way.’

Lampros told the court that in a 1996 incident, Diddy ‘ordered Lampros to his Manhattan apartment’ where his late ex-girlfriend Kim Porter and ‘and two other people were present.’

Lampros said Diddy forced both her and Porter to take the drug ecstasy and ‘forced the pill down their throats to ensure the pills were swallowed.’

Diddy’s ‘hands were so far down Lampros throat she gagged,’ Lampros said in court docs, adding that Diddy ‘even checked under their tongues.’

Diddy ‘then demanded’ Porter and Lampros ‘have sexual intercourse,’ Lampros said in court docs, noting that while she ‘vocally opposed this idea … Combs quickly reminded her that she had no control over the situation as he could make her lose her job.’

Lampros said in court docs that as she and Porter were engaged in sexual acts, Diddy ‘sat close by, masturbating for some time before pushing Kim Porter off Lampros … and raping her.’

Lampros ‘felt disgusted, ashamed, and embarrassed and couldn’t believe what had happened,’ she said in court docs.

Crystal claims that before the alleged assault she took a hit from a 'very powerful' joint, and felt as if she was floating. She believes it was laced with another drug

Earlier this week, model Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit against the rapper, 54 — who is currently facing a sex trafficking probe and multiple other sexual misconduct lawsuits — alleging that she was assaulted at his studio, as per TMZ

McKinney says she was 22 when she was invited to a Men’s Fashion Week event at Cipriani Downtown in New York City, where she met Diddy, who then asked her to go back to his studio. 

After they arrived, Diddy and several of his friends were drinking Hennessy and smoking joints. Crystal claims that when she took a hit from one of the ‘very powerful’ joints, she felt as if she was floating, and believes it was laced with another drug.

McKinney claims Diddy then demanded that she come with him to the bathroom, where she alleges he forced her to perform oral sex on him.

McKinney says while in the bathroom Diddy began kissing her and then shoved her head down to his crotch before telling her to ‘suck it.’

When she refused, she claims he pushed her head down and forced oral sex. Afterwards she began to walk away but felt dizzy and at some point lost consciousness.

McKinney says she then woke up in a taxi, and realized she had been sexually assaulted.

It’s not clear whether she is referencing the alleged incident in the bathroom, or another sexual assault that could have occurred while she was passed out.

McKinney says she was then blackballed from the modeling industry, and went into a severe depression before attempting to commit suicide in 2004.

Crystal also states that after seeing Diddy’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and other women file lawsuits against the disgraced hip hop mogul she ‘knew she had a moral obligation to speak up.’

She is seeking unspecified damages. 

Diddy is currently involved in an ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation in addition to multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct.

On Sunday Diddy broke his silence after shocking video of him beating up his former girlfriend Cassie surfaced last week.

He took to Instagram to apologize, saying: ‘I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses.’ Looking into the camera, Diddy said: ‘So difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you got to do that. I was f***ed up.

‘I mean I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I’m disgusted.

‘I was disgusted then when I did it, I am disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab.

‘Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I am committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness, I’m truly sorry.’

Sources said Diddy went to rehab following the 2016 incident and continues to seek both therapy and spiritual work.

The shocking surveillance footage of Diddy violently attacking his ex-girlfriend in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 emerged last week.

The video, obtained by CNN, shows the rapper shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hall at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City.

As she tried to get into an elevator, he grabbed her by the back of the head and slammed her to the ground.

He then kicked her as she lay on the floor motionless, before grabbing the two designer bags she’d tried to escape with. Diddy stood over her, kicked her again, and then dragged her back to their room by the hoodie.

Cassie claimed in a since-settled lawsuit that Diddy had paid the same hotel $50,000 for the footage after the attack.

Speaking on Sunday, Cassie’s attorney Meredith Firetog, said: ‘Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt.

‘When Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday.

‘That he was only compelled to “apologize” once his repeated denials were proven false shows his pathetic desperation, and no one will be swayed by his disingenuous words.’

It comes after the LA County District Attorney said they would not be able to prosecute Diddy for the assault as the statute of limitations had passed.

California’s statute of limitations for simple assault is one year, though aggravated assault is three years. Based on the timeline, neither charge could be levied against Diddy.

Cassie sued Diddy last year alleging rape and a range of other offenses. They settled out of court in November for an undisclosed amount. 

The pair dated between 2007 and 2018, after meeting in 2006 when she was 19 and he was 37.

The footage of the March 2016 incident comes just two months after Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by Homeland Security as part of a sex trafficking investigation.

He is also fighting lawsuits from other accusers who allege sexual misconduct and abuse.

In February, a music producer filed a lawsuit alleging Diddy coerced him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.

Another of Diddy’s accusers was a woman who said the rap producer raped her two decades ago when she was 17.

The Jane Doe claims that the rapper flew her to his New York studio in 2003 and plied her with ‘copious amounts of drugs and alcohol.’

He and two pals then took turns violently raping the teen as she drifted in and out of consciousness, leaving her in so much pain that she could barely stand or remember how she got home, the complaint alleges.

Diddy immediately sent out a tweet denying the accusation and saying the all allegations made against hm in recent days are from people ‘looking for a quick payday’.

Diddy and his attorneys have denied all of the lawsuits’ allegations.

The investigation is continuing. Diddy has not been charged. 

The rapper is among the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the past three decades.

Formerly known as Puff Daddy, he built one of hip-hop’s biggest empires, blazing a trail with several entities attached to his famous name.

He is the founder of Bad Boy Records and a three-time Grammy winner who has worked with a slew of top-tier artists including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans and 112.
