As he remains in jail on sex trafficking charges, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team has complained that anonymous accusations are creating “a hysterical media circus,” according to ABC News.
Because these claims continue damaging the disgraced music mogul’s character and reputation, his attorneys argued in a latter Wednesday that the judge force prosecutors to disclose the names. Combs claims he needs to know the identities of his alleged victims so he can prepare for his criminal trial, which is currently set for May 5.
“This case is unique, in part because of the number of individuals levying allegations against Mr. Combs due to his celebrity status, wealth, and the publicity of his previously settled lawsuit and the grand jury leaks and false inflammatory statements by the DHS agents,” defense attorneys Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos wrote. “This has had a pervasive ripple effect, resulting in a torrent of allegations by unidentified complainants, spanning from the false to outright absurd.”
The attorneys went on to say that they asked federal prosecutors to identify alleged victims referred to in the indictment, but they opposed.
This request from Combs’ legal team comes as more heinous allegations surface, including claims that some of the 1,000 bottles of baby oil seized from his properties were spiked to incapacitate his victims.
An attorney for Ashley Parham, one of Diddy’s alleged victims, told The Daily Beast of the disgusting allegations on Tuesday.
Ariel Mitchell, the lawyer who filed the complaint on behalf of Parham, alleges that Combs and other men violently raped her with a TV remote after she dissed the Bad Boy founder. This came after Parham allegedly told the rapper’s friend she didn’t want to meet him because she believed he may been involved with the murder of Tupac Shakur.
According to The Daily Beast, Mitchell believed the oil was spiked based on her client describing to her how she went “more and more limp” when Combs slathered her in oil both before and during the alleged gang rape. Mitchell then discovered from her own research that baby oil could be used as “a conduit” for date rape drugs such as GHB or Rohypnol.
“She said to me that she didn’t know what else it could have been,” The attorney told the outlet. “She said: ‘I felt every time they squirted the liquid on me, I went more and more limp. I didn’t know what was happening.’”
In her lawsuit, Parham claims that Combs threatened her with a knife before he “retrieved a bottle of liquid from a large fanny pack” and “then squirted a bottle of liquid on plaintiff which placed her in fear that she was being squirted with a chemical substance like acid. Plaintiff soon realized the substance was oil/lubricant. Plaintiff was squirted with this substance over the entirety of her naked body.”
The complaint goes on to allege: “Diddy then picked up a television remote that was near Plaintiff and violently inserted it into Plaintiff’s vagina. Defendant Diddy, while violently raping Plaintiff with a television remote, told Plaintiff that her life was in his hands and that if he wanted he could “take her” and she would never be seen again.”
The suit then claims that the rapper ordered his co-defendant Shane Pierce to turn her over and put a pillow over her head “because he didn’t want to see her face or hear her cries and instructed Defendant Shane to anally rape Plaintiff.” Parham goes on to allege that she was also raped by two other John Does, claiming that “her body was becoming more and more limp over the course of the violent rape until eventually she had no control over her body nor could she move her body.”
When she eventually recovered and told the Bad Boy founder she would report him to the police, Combs allegedly “told Plaintiff no one would ever believe she had been raped by him and if she did tell anyone such that they would harm her family.”
