Diddy, Harvey Weinstein We Got Something In Common ... The Same Sex Assault Accuser

Published | Updated

Update

6/2/2025 4:30 PM PT -- Michelle Caiola, attorney for Crystal McKinney, tells TMZ ... "MeToo exposed rich and powerful men in the entertainment industry who target and sexually abuse young women seeking a break. Crystal McKinney, a top model at a young age, fell victim to such predation -- twice. The facts stand on their own and our client looks forward to her day in court when she can present her evidence to a jury."

Sean "Diddy" Combs and Harvey Weinstein have more than one thing in common ... they’re being sued for alleged sexual assault by the same model.

Not only are Diddy and Weinstein currently on trial for sex crimes in unrelated trials, but Crystal McKinney has filed lawsuits against them in a New York federal court.

In her latest suit, filed Friday, McKinney -- through her attorney Michelle Caiola -- accuses Weinstein of raping her and a friend in a Manhattan hotel room in 2003.

Smokey Robinson Was Investigated For Alleged 2015 Sexual Assault ... But He Was Never Charged

Published | Updated

UPDATE

2:50 PM PT -- Attorneys John Harris and Herbert Hayden, who represent Jane Does 1-4 in the current lawsuit, tell TMZ ... "The statement released by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirms that charges were not filed against Mr. Robinson due to insufficient evidence—not because the claims lacked merit. This underscores the significant challenges victims face when reporting incidents of sexual assault, particularly when the alleged perpetrator is a powerful and well-known figure."

They continue ... "Moreover, this latest development further affirms that at least five women have now come forward with allegations of sexual assault against Mr. Robinson. Together, they are united in their pursuit of justice."

Prosecutors in Los Angeles are revealing for the first time Smokey Robinson was investigated for an alleged sexual assault back in 2015 ... but the probe did not result in criminal charges.

The L.A. County District Attorney's Office tells TMZ ... they discovered that in 2015 the D.A.'s office was presented with a sexual assault allegation against Smokey, and that the case was kicked up to prosecutors by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

The D.A. says prosecutors ultimately decided not to charge Smokey with a crime due to a lack of evidence.
