Key takeaways:
- The lawsuit alleges that Sean “Diddy” Combs and R&B singer Aaron Hall assaulted the plaintiff and her friend at Hall’s apartment in 1990 or 1991.

- The filing of the lawsuit comes at a time when the #MeToo movement has brought increased attention to sexual assault and harassment.
Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing two new allegations of sexual assault, according to a lawsuit filed in New York Supreme Court on Thursday. The lawsuit was filed one day before the expiration of the New York Adult Survivors Act, which allows adult sexual assault survivors one year to sue regardless of when the original statute of limitations expired.
The lawsuit alleges that Combs and R&B singer Aaron Hall assaulted the plaintiff and her friend at Hall’s apartment in 1990 or 1991, following an event at the offices of MCA Records. The plaintiff claims that Combs and Hall subjected her to sexual assault, beatings, and forced drugging.
The lawsuit is the latest in a string of allegations against Combs. Last week, Combs settled a separate lawsuit with the singer Cassie that contained allegations of rape and physical abuse.
Combs has not yet responded to the new allegations. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and a jury trial.
The filing of the lawsuit comes at a time when the #MeToo movement has brought increased attention to sexual assault and harassment. The New York Adult Survivors Act has allowed many victims of sexual abuse to come forward and seek justice, regardless of the statute of limitations. It is unclear how the new allegations against Combs will be addressed.
