Sean Combs, also known as Puff Daddy or Diddy, is facing a growing number of lawsuits, with the latest one filed by a woman named Ashley Parham. Parham claims that Combs raped her in an apartment in Orinda, California in March 2018, as an act of revenge for linking him to the murder of Tupac Shakur. The lawsuit alleges that Combs and his associates threatened and assaulted Parham, leading to her requiring hospital treatment.
The charges against Combs are set to be heard in a trial starting on May 5, 2025, in New York. The first complaint against Combs was filed by his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie, accusing him of various abuses. This initial lawsuit opened the floodgates for numerous individuals, mostly women (including minors), to come forward with lawsuits over the past 11 months.
The legal battle against Combs continues to escalate, signaling a contentious legal showdown ahead. Stay tuned for updates as the case unfolds.
