Sean “Diddy” Combs faces new sexual assault lawsuits levied at him by three male accusers Thursday.
The embattled music mogul is already embroiled in over two dozen civil lawsuits with accusers, including minors, who claim he raped, drugged and assaulted them over a decadeslong period.
Thursday’s allegations include claims that Diddy raped accusers at different venues in New York, including his Hamptons home and two Manhattan hotels, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY.
“These complaints are full of lies. We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him,” Combs’ team said in a statement to USA TODAY about the new allegations.
USA TODAY reached out to reps for the hotels — Hyatt Hotels Corporation and InterContinental Hotels Group — for comment.

Jay-Z’s lawyers claim his rape accuser’slawyer pressured a woman to lie about Diddy
In one of Thursday’s filings, an unnamed man claims that Combs and his “associates” took turns raping him at the Bad Boy Records founder’s East Hampton, New York, home during an incident in the summer of 2020.
The alleged assault took place after consuming a drink the accuser said was spiked by Combs, which caused him to fade “in-and-out of consciousness.”
Another male accuser, who worked running “errands” for Combs, claimed in a separate Thursday filing that he was raped at the InterContinental New York Times Square hotel in February 2020 after “his drink was drugged” by the “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker.
After the alleged rape, the accuser claimed that Combs said he would “look like an idiot” for reporting the incident because he is “Diddy.” During the alleged incident, Combs told the accuser to “stop” resisting his sexual advances.
A third male accuser claims that, in 2019, the room “started spinning” after Combs made him a drink before he was allegedly raped in a hotel suite by the “Only You” rapper, while a man and woman recorded the incident. The next morning, Combs was allegedly gone, according to the filing, but the man and women were still in the hotel room.
The filing claims that the man in the incident handed $2,500 in cash to the alleged victim, who was “disoriented and confused.” The alleged event took place at the Park Hyatt New York in Manhattan, where Combs was later arrested on federal sex crimes charges in September.
The lawsuits follow several filed by Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing several of the accusers who have accused Combs of sexual assault, abuse and rape.

On Sunday, Jay-Z was accused of sexually assaulting a teenage girl alongside Combs in the early 2000s.
In an amended lawsuit filed Sunday, an Alabama woman — identified anonymously as Jane Doe — claims the billionaire music mogul, born Shawn Carter, and Combs drugged and raped her at an after-party following the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000. The woman brought a lawsuit against Combs in October for the alleged assault.

Later, Combs’ fellow music mogul clapped back at Buzbee in a lengthy letter posted to his company Roc Nation’s official account, writing “I look forward to showing you just how different I am.”
“What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle,” Jay-Z said of Buzbee in the statement. “No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a very public fashion. So no, I will not give you one red penny!!”
