Sean "Diddy" Combs faces two new sexual assault lawsuits following his recent settlement with ex-partner Cassie Ventura. These allegations emerge under New York's Adult Survivors Act, which allows legal action for historical sexual assault claims.

The First Lawsuit: Joi Dickerson-Neal alleges Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her in 1991 while she was a Syracuse University student. She claims he filmed the incident and shared it without consent, leading to her hospitalization for depression.

The Second Lawsuit: A Jane Doe filing alleges that both Combs and singer Aaron Hall sexually assaulted her and a friend in 1990/1991 after an MCA Records event. The lawsuit claims Combs later attacked her at her residence, causing her to lose consciousness.

Legal Response: Combs's representatives strongly deny all allegations, stating they are "fabricated claims" and "a money grab." They argue that Combs's fame makes him a target for false accusations seeking financial gain.

Context:

• These lawsuits follow Combs's recent settlement with Cassie Ventura
• Filed under New York's Adult Survivors Act before its expiration
• Part of broader wave of lawsuits against entertainment industry figures

The Adult Survivors Act, passed in 2020, provided a one-year window for filing historical sexual assault claims typically barred by statutes of limitations. Multiple entertainment industry figures face similar lawsuits under this legislation.
