ORINDA, Calif. (KGO) — Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a disturbing new lawsuit from a Bay Area woman who claims he “gang-raped” her as revenge for saying he was involved in Tupac’s death.
The woman claims to have met Diddy over FaceTime in 2018 after running into one of his friends at a bar.

During that interaction, she told Diddy she believed he was involved in Tupac’s murder. Diddy allegedly told the woman she would pay for what she said.
About a month later, Diddy’s friend allegedly “set her up” to be raped when he invited her to his Orinda apartment.
She claims it was there that she was drugged, threatened with a knife, sexually assaulted, and raped by multiple people.
She is seeking $50 million in damages.
Diddy’s attorney has not responded to the allegations.
The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office says they received a report on March 23, 2018, and detectives thoroughly investigated the accusations. However, they determined the claims were unfounded.

On Tuesday, Diddy’s lawyers asked a New York judge to force prosecutors to disclose the names of his accusers in his sex trafficking case.
The lawyers wrote in a letter to a Manhattan federal court judge that the hip-hop music maker needs to know the identities of his alleged victims so he can prepare adequately for trial.
Last week, a May 5 trial date was set for Combs. He has pleaded not guilty.
