Los Angeles, California – A former model has filed a lawsuit against Diddy, alleging that the music mogul drugged and sexually assaulted her. Crystal McKinney claims that in 2003, when she was 22 years old, she was invited to a Men’s Fashion Week event in NYC where she met Diddy. He then invited her back to his studio, where she alleges he drugged her with a laced joint and sexually assaulted her.
McKinney states that after arriving at Diddy’s studio and consuming drugs and alcohol with him and his colleagues, she felt disoriented and was forced into a sexual encounter in the bathroom. Despite her refusal, she claims Diddy proceeded to assault her. She later woke up in a taxi, realizing she had been sexually assaulted. The lawsuit does not specify the exact nature of the assault while she was unconscious.
Following the incident, McKinney alleges that she was blackballed from the modeling industry, leading to severe depression and a suicide attempt in 2004. Inspired by other lawsuits filed against Diddy, including those by Cassie and others, McKinney felt compelled to come forward and seek justice by filing her own lawsuit against the music icon.
McKinney is seeking unspecified damages in her lawsuit against Diddy. This latest legal action adds to the growing list of allegations against the mogul, further highlighting the need for accountability and justice in cases of sexual assault and misconduct within the entertainment industry. The lawsuit serves as a reminder of the importance of speaking out against abuse and seeking legal recourse for survivors.
