Sean “Diddy” Combs has found himself facing yet another serious accusation.
According to Deadline, a former associate of the music mogul, Bryana “Bana” Bonglan, has filed a lawsuit accusing him of assault and threats of violence during an alleged altercation on September 26, 2016. Bonglan, a close friend of Diddy’s ex, Cassie, claims the incident took place in a hotel room and escalated to terrifying levels.
Bonglan’s lawsuit paints a harrowing picture. She alleges Diddy physically attacked her in the room, shoving her, groping her, and making degrading comments. The most shocking part? She claims Diddy dangled her over the edge of a 17th-floor balcony while calling himself the “Devil.” According to the suit, the mogul made violent threats and left Bonglan fearing for her life. “He forcibly groped her breasts, dangled her from a balcony, and battered her,” the suit states. “She reasonably believed that Combs’ assault was him making good on his threats.”
The former designer for Diddy describes the incident as the culmination of months of intimidation, threats, and harassment. Her lawyer emphasized the “outrageous and abhorrent conduct” she allegedly endured, stating it violated her “fundamental dignity, bodily autonomy, and sense of safety.” Bonglan is seeking $10 million in damages for the trauma she claims she suffered.
The lawsuit includes photos of Bonglan with Diddy and Cassie, reportedly submitted as part of her evidence. Meanwhile, Diddy’s legal team has already responded, dismissing the allegations as false. His attorney issued a statement calling the claims baseless and asserting Bonglan has been attempting to profit from her connection to the Bad Boy founder for over a year. “Mr. Combs firmly denies these serious allegations and remains confident they will ultimately be proven baseless,” the statement read.
This latest lawsuit adds to an already growing list of legal troubles for Diddy, whose past controversies continue to surface. Whether Bonglan’s claims hold up in court remains to be seen, but this case is certain to reignite scrutiny around the hip-hop icon.
