Last week, Mr. Combs stepped aside as chairman of Revolt, his cable TV network. Diageo, the alcoholic beverage giant that Mr. Combs is suing over allegations that it treated unequally the brands he has promoted because he is Black \u2014 which the company denies \u2014 told a New York judge that its DeLe\u00f3n tequila brand could not continue to feature Mr. Combs in promotional material. The company said in a court filing that his \u201cnow-toxic image\u201d made it \u201cimpossible for him to continue to be the \u2018face\u2019 of anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the most recent suit, the unidentified woman says she was with friends at a lounge in the Detroit area when she met Harve Pierre, Bad Boy\u2019s former president, who is also named as a defendant in the case and is accused of taking part in raping the woman. The woman, according to the court papers, said Mr. Pierre told her that Mr. Combs \u201cwould love to meet\u201d her and then, in a bathroom at the lounge, Mr. Pierre \u201cdemanded\u201d oral sex, before asking her to accompany him on a private flight to New York City.<\/p>\n
While at the recording studio, according to the suit, the woman met Mr. Combs and took a photo sitting on his lap, which was included in the complaint with her face obscured. \u201cMs. Doe became more and more inebriated,\u201d the complaint reads, \u201ceventually to the point that she could not possibly have consented to having sex with anyone, much less someone twice her age.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eventually, the lawsuit says, Mr. Combs directed her into the bathroom, where he raped her, and then sat in a chair outside the bathroom watching as an unnamed man raped her. The suit says Mr. Pierre assaulted her last.<\/p>\n
