April Lampros’ Allegations Against Sean Combs

April Lampros

May 2, 2025: In May 2024, April Lampros filed a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs in New York State court, alleging sexual assault, battery, and emotional distress stemming from incidents between 1994 and the early 2000s. Lampros claims that after consuming a drink provided by Combs, she felt disoriented and was subsequently assaulted at a hotel. She further alleges that Combs threatened to derail her aspirations in the entertainment industry if she resisted his advances.

Wider Legal Challenges Facing Combs

This lawsuit is among numerous legal challenges Combs faces, including a federal trial set to begin on May 5, 2025, in New York City. The trial encompasses charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and related offenses, with multiple accusers expected to testify. Notably, a judge has ruled that jurors may view video footage allegedly showing Combs assaulting singer Cassie Ventura in 2016.

Combs’ Legal Response and Defense Strategy

Combs has denied all allegations and remains in custody pending trial. Legal experts suggest that his decision to testify could carry significant risks, given the breadth of accusations and evidence presented.
