A timeline from the 1990s to 2024

1990s

• Liza Gardner, 1990 or 1991: Claimed Combs and Guy singer Aaron Hall took turns raping her and a friend they met the pair at an MCA Records event in either 1990 or 1991. She initially filed her lawsuit anonymously.

• John Doe, 1998: A man who says he was 16 when he attended a White Party in the Hamptons hosted by Combs. At the soiree, the man alleged, Combs instructed him to expose himself as a “rite of passage.” Combs then allegedly grabbed the man’s genitals.

Unraveling old lawsuits, allegations: Diddy’s history of legal troubles before 2023

2000s

• Jane Doe, 2000: A woman who alleged Combs sexually assaulted her when she was 16 years old and babysitting for a tenant in a lower Manhattan building, where his romantic partner also lived.
• Sara Rivers, 2002-2004: “Making the Band 2” alum and Da Band singer who accused Combs of “unwanted touching,” creating a hostile work environment and fraud while filming the MTV show in a February 2025 lawsuit, filed the same day she appeared on Peacock’s “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.”
• Thalia Graves, 2001: Claimed Combs and his then-bodyguard, Joseph “Big Joe” Sherman, “viciously raped her” at the Bad Boy Records studio in New York City, and that Combs recorded and shared footage of the alleged 2001 assault. Sherman is suing Graves for defamation.
• Jane Doe, 2001: A New York woman who alleged Sherman, a friend’s love interest, offered her a ride after partying at a nightclub, then raped her at gunpoint after stopping at his NYC apartment. She names Combs in the February 2025 lawsuit, claiming Sherman was “directed and encouraged by Combs.”
• Anna Kane, 2003: A then-17-year-old who alleged Combs, former Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre and an unidentified third assailant “gang raped” her at Combs’ Daddy’s House Recording Studio. Though she’d filed her 2023 lawsuit anonymously, she later identified herself in the case after a judge ruled she must reveal her identity.

• Crystal McKinney, 2003: A model, then 22, who says Combs assaulted her and forced her to perform oral sex at his New York City studio. She alleges he had her “blackballed” in the modeling industry afterward.
• Candice McCrary, 2004: A then-19-year-old college student who said Combs assaulted her after a Manhattan photoshoot in 2004. Since her motion to proceed under a pseudonym was denied, she has revealed her name.
• John Doe, 2005: A California man who was 10 years old when he allegedly auditioned for Combs at a hotel in 2005. He claimed Combs, who would have been around 36 at the time, drugged and sexually assaulted the aspiring child actor and rapper.
• Dawn Richard, 2005-2012: Former Danity Kane and Diddy – Dirty Money singer who accused Combs of stealing her work, withholding payment and subjecting her to “inhumane” working conditions throughout their decade-long professional relationship – which allegedly included assault, groping, false imprisonment and multiple instances where she claimed to have seen him assault Cassie.
• John Doe, 2006: A man who says he worked as a security guard at Combs’ 2006 White Party in the Hamptons. The man claimed he was given two drinks that were drugged, and Combs “forcibly pushed” him into a van, holding him down to sexually assault him.
• Latroya Grayson, 2006: Said she was hospitalized after Combs allegedly sexually assaulted her at a “black party.” She claims she won a radio station contest to attend one of his New York City parties in 2006.
• Kendra Haffoney, 2007: An “I Want to Work for Diddy” cast member who said Combs drugged and assaulted her at a 2007 party after she moved to New York to begin filming the first season of the series.
• John Doe, 2007-2012: A male entertainer and musician who said Combs trafficked and coerced him into performing strip shows from 2007 to 2012. The man also accused the record producer of drugging, raping and threatening him on multiple occasions.
• Casandra “Cassie” Ventura Fine, 2007-2018: Combs’ former longtime girlfriend and Bad Boy recording artist who accused him in a November 2023 lawsuit of trafficking, raping and viciously beating her over the course of a decade. The relationship, which began a few years after she signed to his label in 2006, involved “a certain level of toxicity and drug use” but not sex trafficking, Combs’ lawyer said in a 2024 TMZ documentary. The “Me & U” singer’s lawsuit, settled just a day later, seemingly triggered the chain reaction of lawsuits and an investigation that ultimately led to federal criminal charges for Combs. Also, she appears to be a star witness for prosecutors in Combs’ case.
