She then alleges that she was assaulted in a bathroom of the studio by Combs and the two other men while she slipped in and out of consciousness.
The plaintiff’s legal filings include several photos that she claims depict her posing inside of the studio, including one where she appears to be sitting in Combs’ lap, though her face has been intentionally blurred in the images.
The lawsuit was filed under New York City’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law, which was expanded to allow alleged victims to sue over offenses that are beyond the statutes of limitations,
Combs other accusers include his former longtime girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who claimed she was subjected to more than a decade of sexual abuse and trafficing at Combs’ hands and Joi Dickerson-Neal, who filed suit against Combs, alleging that he sexually assaulted her at Syracuse University in 1991.
A third alleged accuser, who is also identified only as Jane Doe, alleged that he sexually assaulted her and a friend in the early 1990s.
Combs has denied the allegations against him and in a statement shared via social media on Wednesday, he said:
“For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation, and my legacy.”
“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday.”
“Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
