Diddy‘s legacy has been tarnished beyond repair. Though rumors about the music exec’s deviant behavior have been floating around for years, the world got to witness it firsthand last week when CNN released footage of Puff assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016. The video mirrored an incident described by Cassie in her lawsuit filed against Diddy in November of 2023.

While seeing Diddy act like an animal onscreen has shocked the general public, the Bad Boy founder is being accused of more sick behavior that allegedly happened outside the prying eye of cameras in a handful of lawsuits he is currently facing. The latest accusations against the Bad Boy Records leader include drugging and rape.

Here are all the allegations against Diddy.

Cassie Ventura Sues Diddy for Sexual and Physical Abuse

On Nov. 16, 2023, Diddy’s longtime former girlfriend Cassie filed an extensive lawsuit detailing years of sexual and physical abuse at the hands of Diddy during their decade-long relationship.

The Allegations:

  • Diddy began coercing Cassie to engage in a fantasy of his called voyeurism. She was directed to have sex with numerous male prostitutes, while Diddy masturbated and recorded videos.
  • After a dinner in 2018, Diddy forced himself into Cassie’s apartment and raped her while she “repeatedly said ‘no’ and tried to push him away.’
  • In Los Angeles in 2009, Diddy became furious because Cassie was seen talking with another talent agent. He pushed her into a car and kicked her repeatedly in the face.
  • Diddy provided Cassie with “copious amounts of drugs” including ketamine and ecstasy.
  • Diddy allegedly grew so angry about Cassie dating Kid Cudi that he threatened to blow up his car.
  • During one “freak off” in 2016 at a Los Angeles hotel, an intoxicated Diddy gave Cassie a black eye. He then fell asleep, and Cassie attempted to leave, but Diddy pursued her into the hallway. Diddy allegedly was seen on security camera throwing glass vases at her, but the Bad Boy mogul paid the hotel $50,000 for the footage.
  • Diddy allegedly asked Cassie to carry his gun in her purse, and in one incident dangled a friend of the R&B singer’s over a 17th floor hotel balcony.

On Nov. 23, 2023, Joi Dickerson-Neal sued Diddy a week after Cassie filed and settled her lawsuit with the disgraced exec.

The Allegations:

  • Diddy recorded the incident without her knowledge
  • Diddy showed the recording to various people including Jodeci’s DeVante Swing.

Liza Gardner Files Lawsuit

On Nov. 23, 2023, Liza Gardner filed a third lawsuit against Diddy.

  • Jane Doe insists Diddy and R&B singer Aaron Hall took turns sexually assaulting her and one of her friends in 1990 or 1991.
  • A couple of days after the incident, Diddy paid the woman a visit in search of her friend out of fear that she would tell and, in a fit of rage, choked Jane Doe until she passed out.

  • Diddy forced the teen to take “copious amounts of drugs and alcohol” before sexually assaulting her.
  • The producer took a picture with the teen sitting on his lap that is being used as evidence.

Producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Accuses Diddy of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault

On Feb. 26, 2024, producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones sued Diddy in a bombshell lawsuit accusing Puff of several deviant acts that were allegedly witnessed by the beatmaker during his time working on Diddy’s latest LP Off the Grid: The Love Album.

April Lampros Accuses Diddy of Rape

On May 23, 2024, April Lampros, a former student at NYC’s Fashion Institute of Technology, sued Diddy for sexual assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress, claiming in a lawsuit that he drugged and sexually assaulted her several times between 1995 and 1998. Bad Boy Records, Arista Records, and Sony Music Entertainment are also part of the lawsuit.

The Allegations:

  • Diddy raped her for the first time after they went to dinner.
  • Diddy forced her to perform oral sex on him in a garage in a second incident, and an attendant watched.
  • Diddy forced her to swallow ecstasy and then demanded she have sex with Kim Porter while he masturbated. Then he raped Lampros.
  • Kim claimed Lampros tried to poison her at a restaurant where Lampros worked.
  • Kim requested the boss fire Lampros or Diddy would shut the restaurant down. Lampros was fired.
  • Diddy tried to rape Lampros again in another encounter, but she was able to fight him off.
  • Diddy took videos of the assaults and showed them to several people, but Lampros didn’t know he filmed anything until years later.

Diddy has vehemently denied all the allegations against him. However, he may have bigger problems on his hands than civil lawsuits. In March, his homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by the Department of Homeland Security as part of an alleged sex trafficking investigation. The embattled mogul has yet to be charged with a crime. However, some people with knowledge of the situation say an indictment is imminent.

The Allegations:

  • Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith claims Diddy provided Cardello-Smith with a drink that was not the initial glass Cardello-Smith was drinking from.
