Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sued again, this time for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman and dangling her from a 17th-story apartment balcony.
The lawsuit, filed by Bryana “Bana” Bongolan, alleges that the incident occurred at Combs’ then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura’s home in 2016.
Bongolan is accusing the disgraced rapper of sexual battery and false imprisonment, among other things.
According to the complaint, Bongolan was staying with Ventura, and Combs showed up late one night and began groping her.
When she rejected his advances, Bongolan says Combs dangled her over the balcony’s edge. After he eventually pulled her back up, she claims that he assaulted her and threw her into patio furniture.
“Mr. Combs firmly denies these serious allegations and remains confident they will ultimately be proven baseless,” Combs’ legal team said in a statement to Page Six.
“He has unwavering faith in the facts and in the fairness of the judicial process. In court, the truth will come to light, demonstrating that the claims against Mr. Combs are without merit.”
Bongolan is seeking $10 million in damages.
Combs is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, after being denied bail for the third time on Wednesday. Prosecutors argued that he poses a significant risk to his victims if he is released.
The music mogul has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs’ trial is scheduled to begin on May 5.
