Diddy Faces New Allegations of Violence and Sexual Harassment
Diddy is facing more allegations of violence and sexual harassment after a six-month investigation by Rolling Stone. The investigation included interviews with over 50 people connected to him throughout his career.
The article reveals that Diddy’s alleged abusive behavior dates back to his time at Howard University in the late 1980s. One incident described him allegedly hitting a woman with a belt, with a source saying he “really whupped her butt.”
Another claim is that Diddy beat up Def Jam executive Shakir Stewart in 2000 for dating his ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter. This incident reportedly happened at L.A. Reid’s wedding in Italy, where Diddy allegedly broke a chair over Stewart’s head, leaving him bleeding.
Stewart committed suicide in 2008, and Porter, who had three children with Diddy, died of pneumonia in 2018.
In 1994, Diddy allegedly attacked a woman in the Bad Boy Records office. Two employees reportedly had to pull him away after hearing screams and glass breaking.
Another woman, who worked as a graphic designer for Bad Boy, claims Diddy sexually harassed her at a party in 2001, celebrating his acquittal in a nightclub shooting case.
Diddy apparently tried to build a bond with Tupac, but the Death Row MC “didn’t have any kind of respect for Puff,” according to Bunn, who added that Tupac saw him as a “corny executive.”
Diddy was also allegedly disliked at both Bad Boy and his former label, Uptown. Ex-signee Ma$e reportedly nicknamed him “massa,” a term used in the southern dialect for a slave master.
Diddy declined to comment on the allegations made by the publication. His lawyer stated: “Mr. Combs cannot comment on settled litigation, will not comment on pending litigation, and cannot address every allegation picked up by the press from any source, no matter how unreliable. We are aware that the proper authorities are conducting a thorough investigation and therefore have confidence any important issues will be addressed in the proper forum, where the rules distinguish facts from fiction.”
These allegations add to the six sexual assault lawsuits already filed against Diddy, along with a federal sex trafficking investigation that led to raids on two of his homes in March.
Earlier this month, CCTV footage showing Diddy brutally attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie in 2016 leaked online, prompting an apology from the mogul.
