Diddy Trial

7:15 PM PT -- Mr. Combs' legal team tells TMZ ... "As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false."

They continued ... "Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor."

A former bottle service attendant has just filed a lawsuit against Diddy, claiming she was raped by a club promoter at Diddy's direction ... and she says it went down at a Trump hotel.

The woman who filed suit anonymously as Jane Doe, claims in the late '90s, she attended an event hosted by Diddy at the Limelight nightclub in NYC. She says the club had 5 floors -- and the top 2 were reserved for sex parties.

She says nothing happened to her at Limelight, but she and a friend made their way to the Trump Hotel in Midtown. She claims she never wanted to go, but "Combs made it clear that they did not have a choice."

Diddy forced a male adult entertainer to coat his body with baby oil before sexually assaulting him ... and the guy says the substance made him incapacitated ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

The Bad Boy Records founder is being sued by a John Doe who claims Diddy trapped him in a "vortex of exploitation and fear" ... subjecting him to a "relentless pattern of drugging, sexual assaults, death threats, clandestine recording, blackmail and psychological manipulation."

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the guy claims he first met Diddy in 2007 when he was working as an adult entertainer in Las Vegas. He says Diddy would hire him through an agency to dance and strip, but claims their encounters went off the rails sexually once Diddy introduced baby oil.

Diddy's latest accuser says his career opportunity of a lifetime turned into a horrific night ... where he was drugged and sexually assaulted by Diddy ... TMZ has learned.

An anonymous man says he was an up and coming rapper/singer in 2015, when he landed a nightclub gig in L.A., and Diddy showed up with his entourage and a ton of Ciroc bottles for the crowd ... according to a lawsuit filed Monday by attorney Tony Buzbee.

The John Doe accuser says one of Diddy's associates told him if he did well, Diddy would talk to him about possibly signing with Bad Boy Records. After his performance, he claims he was invited to a VIP section with Diddy and other "well-known" artists, many of whom were taking drugs.

Diddy was admitted to a New York hospital last week after experiencing pain with his knee ... TMZ has confirmed.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the music mogul was taken to a Brooklyn hospital from the Metropolitan Detention Center on Thursday.

According to the NY Post, Diddy was at the hospital for a medical scan (MRI) because his "knee was bothering him." The rapper reportedly has a history of knee issues.

Jason Oppenheim is sounding off on federal prosecutors' latest allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, saying the indictment makes it sound like it's illegal for men to lavish significant others with expensive items.

Check it out ... the "Selling Sunset" boss said his piece on Friday's "TMZ Live" -- which he co-hosted -- and questioned the case against the mogul, specifically the feds' claim Diddy provided 3 women money to cover their living expenses, and gave them career opportunities.

Jason says that sounds like prosecutors are "criminalizing half the relationships in Hollywood" ... because that's just what rich men in showbiz tend to do for GFs. He says it sounds like the prosecutors' case is pretty "thin," if that's all they have.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing new allegations from federal prosecutors, who've now added 2 new victims to the case ... and accused him of a much longer reign of terror.

The new filing -- known as a superseding indictment -- adds "Victim-2" and "Victim-3" ... both of whom are women. Previously the feds had only listed "Victim-1," who is clearly Diddy's ex, Cassie, based on Diddy's own attorneys connecting her to the infamous hallway beating video.

According to the new docs, Diddy allegedly transported all 3 women to "engage in prostitution" ... which is one of the charges he was already facing from the original indictment.

Jay-Z's increasing his calls for a court to sanction Tony Buzbee -- the lawyer representing numerous people accusing Diddy of a variety of sexual misdeeds -- with Jay's side blasting him for not even meeting with his client before he filed the complaint ... but Buzbee isn't backing down.

The rapper's new legal docs in support of his motion were filed earlier this month asking for sanctions against Buzbee ... and, in it, Jay's team points out that Tony now admits he never met with the Jane Doe suing him before he signed off on the complaint.

Although Buzbee insists the case was appropriately vetted, Jay's lawyers are hammering him for never actually meeting the Jane Doe before it was filed -- which Jay and his side see as a huge lapse in his ethical responsibility.

The infamous raid on Diddy's cell in a New York City jail was spearheaded by the very federal prosecutors who charged the music mogul with sex trafficking and other serious crimes -- at least according to Diddy's lawyers, who say they have the proof!

Diddy's lawyers filed new legal documents flat-out accusing Southern District of New York prosecutors of directing the November 2024 sweep of Diddy's cell with the help of Bureau of Prison correctional officers inside Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

In the docs, Diddy's lawyers point to a meeting between BOP officials and other federal agencies on the morning of the second day of the sweep to discuss a potential search of Diddy's unit ... and they say supervisors from SDNY, including the Diddy trial team's unit chief, weighed in that a search of Diddy's cell was warranted.

Diddy is going after a grand jury witness and a lawyer he claims have been spreading lies about him ... accusing them of fabricating stories for media attention.

The disgraced mogul is suing Courtney Burgess -- a man who appeared as a witness for the grand jury -- and Ariel Mitchell, Burgess' lawyer, for spreading what he says are "outlandish claims" and "baseless speculation" to feed the public's desire for "wild lies."

Diddy fired back at some specific claims in the lawsuit as well ... calling out Burgess for alleging he possesses video of the star sexually assaulting celebrities and minors.

Dave Chappelle returned to host "Saturday Night Live" this week, delivering a monologue tackling everything from Diddy’s legal troubles to his message to President-elect Donald Trump.

The comedian pulled no punches on the show this week first addressing the ongoing legal drama surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs. Chappelle noted he's never seen anything quite like what Diddy is currently going through saying, "I’ve been in a lot of trouble in my day, but this guy Puffy --  buddy, this guy is in an enormous amount of trouble. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this."

Chappelle’s poked fun at himself, recalling how friends of his have questioned his absence from Diddy’s infamous "freak-off" parties with Chapelle saying, "I thought about it for a minute and I said, oh my God -- I’m ugly. That was a tough way to find out. Can you imagine reading the newspaper and finding out everyone in Hollywood had an orgy behind your back? None of y’all called me?"

Wendy Williams made many shocking claims during her interview with "The Breakfast Club" this morning, and one of the biggest stunners came when she offered her dark prediction about Diddy's fate.

It all started at the end of the 30-minute discussion when host Charlamagne tha God brought up the long-held belief the disgraced music mogul got Wendy fired back in 1998 from her HOT 97 radio gig.

Wendy did not respond directly to the accusation ... but, instead, said she looks "wild" on TV before pivoting to Diddy, bluntly saying he's gonna spend the rest of his days behind bars.

Diddy says the "freak-off" videos the government is trying to use against him actually prove his innocence ... he says the tapes show consensual sex with Cassie and he even claims she appeared to enjoy herself.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy's defense team says they've seen the 9 so-called "freak-off" videos the feds are making a big stink about ... but his attorneys say the content on the tapes amounts to "private sexual activity between fully consenting adults in a long-term relationship."

Diddy's legal team says his ex-girlfriend Cassie "not only consented, but thoroughly enjoyed herself" and "is evidently happy, dominant and completely in control." The docs reference Victim-1, who we now know is Cassie.

Diddy made the most of his last summer as a free man ... living it up at a fancy resort in Wyoming ... but not without some drama.

The Bad Boy Records founder spent a few nights back in July at the Amangani luxury resort in Jackson Hole ... according to someone who worked at the hotel during Diddy's stay.

Diddy was traveling with a woman and another man, and we're told they spent their first day at the resort pool ... where Diddy was wearing a wetsuit with booties.

The accusations against Diddy keep stacking up -- he's now facing another sexual assault lawsuit by a Jane Doe who says she was underage when the alleged assault occurred.

In legal docs obtained by TMZ -- an unnamed woman has come forward and is suing Diddy and two John Does who she claims were with him.

The woman claims in 2000, when she was 16, she ran into Diddy and two men, who apparently worked for him, in an SUV after leaving a babysitting job in Manhattan. She says they offered her a ride home, and after much pressure from Diddy, she eventually agreed.

Jay-Z wants a piece of attorney Tony Buzbee's hide, legally speaking -- he's demanding a court sanction Buzbee for what Jay calls the false rape lawsuit that's damaged his reputation.

According to Jay's new motion, filed by his lawyer Alex Spiro, Buzbee did not conduct even the most rudimentary investigation into the shocking claims made by his "Jane Doe" client in her lawsuit. The woman alleged Jay-Z and Diddy drugged and raped her after the MTV VMA Awards in 2000 when she was 13 years old.

In his filing, Jay also points out Buzbee did not withdraw the lawsuit after an NBC News interview with the accuser aired, and cast doubt on most of the details in her allegations.

Nikki Glaser’s Diddy jokes at the 2025 Golden Globes aren’t getting any laughs from two lawyers representing several of the rapper’s accusers.

Attorney Ariel Mitchell -- who represents alleged Diddy rape victim Ashley Parham and other Diddy accusers -- blasted Nikki Glaser for making jokes at the expense of others. Mitchell tells TMZ she hopes Nikki herself has never been sexually assaulted or mocked for it.

Mitchell also pointed out that, as a woman, one would think Nikki would know better, saying that making light of this ugly situation is exactly why so many sexual assault victims never come forward and report their abuse.
