Renowned music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been hit with a sixth sexual assault allegation, this time from April Lampros, a former student at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
Lampros claims that a series of assaults began in the 1990s after Diddy offered to mentor her in the fashion industry.
According to court documents, Lampros alleges that Diddy initially wooed her with gifts and flowers before meeting her at a SoHo bar in 1995.
She claims he gave her alcohol and took her to his hotel room, where she felt disoriented and unable to resist his advances. After she rejected his further advances, she alleges that Diddy harassed her with incessant calls and threats, adopting a “mobster persona.”
Lampros is suing Diddy for sexual assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, naming Bad Boy Records, Arista, and Sony Music Entertainment as defendants for allegedly enabling his actions. Diddy’s representatives have yet to comment on these allegations.
This lawsuit follows closely on the heels of similar allegations, including one from former model Crystal McKinney, who claims Diddy assaulted her in 2003.
Lampros’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, is also representing other individuals with lawsuits against Diddy, including Rodney Jones, Liza Gardner, and Grace O’Marcaigh, who has accused Diddy’s son, Christian Combs, of sexual assault.
