Sean “Diddy” Combs has been hit with one of the most inflammatory and disturbing accusations yet: A woman claims Diddy allegedly drugged her and raped her using a remote control in California in 2018.
In a teary-eyed testimonial for the Peacock documentary “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,” the woman known only as “Ashley” said Diddy and his crew showed up at the Oakland, Calif., apartment of a man she met.
According to the legal documents filed in U.S. District Court in Northern California and obtained by PEOPLE magazine, she was with a man who was FaceTiming Diddy at a bar. She said that she was “not impressed” with Diddy, adding that she felt he had “something to do with the murder of Tupac Shakur.”
Ashley claims that Diddy warned her that she would “pay” for that remark.
A month later, she said she was at the apartment of the man she met, who is also listed as a defendant in the suit. Suddenly, she said Diddy and his crew came into the apartment. She claims in the suit that Diddy held a knife to her face and then proceeded to rape her with a remote control.
Afterward, Ashley said Diddy’s chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, threatened her by telling her that she could be shipped off anywhere in the world and her family would never see her again.
Ashley filed suit in October. Her attorney, Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, said she later learned that the man Ashley met was a “scouter” for Combs. As a result of that traumatizing experience, Ashley said she has withdrawn from society and become hermitlike.
“I’ve become incredibly reclusive,” she testified. “I don’t trust anyone.”
Through his lawyers, Combs denied the woman’s claims.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Combs’ legal team wrote: “This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months. It is disappointing to see NBC and Peacock rolling in the same mud as unethical tabloid reporters. By providing a platform for proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations, the documentary is irresponsible journalism of the worst kind.”
Specifically addressing the woman’s claims, Combs’ legal team wrote: “As the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department confirmed, her report was thoroughly investigated and it was determined the claims were ‘unfounded.’ Mr. Combs was nowhere near Orinda, Calif., on the day she claims she was assaulted. There is no evidence that Mr. Combs was ever even in the same room as Ms. Parham. She is completely unbelievable and no sane person who views the evidence will credit her story.”
