An anonymous man, identified only as “John Doe,” broke his silence in an exclusive CNN interview, detailing the harrowing trauma he claims to have endured at the hands of Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The accuser alleges that the music mogul drugged and assaulted him nearly two decades ago at one of Combs’ infamous White Parties.
The civil lawsuit, originally filed on October 14, describes how Doe, then a private security worker, attended the 2007 event at Combs’ East Hampton estate.
According to the complaint, Combs offered Doe two alcoholic drinks that were allegedly laced with drugs, rendering him incapacitated.
Doe claims Combs then forced him into a vehicle and assaulted him despite his pleas for help.
“The full gravity of it lives with me to this day,” Doe told CNN. “It affects every single thing you do for the rest of your life.”
Doe, who spoke anonymously on camera, admitted he kept the incident a secret for years, even from his now ex-wife, due to feelings of shame.
He says the trauma has negatively impacted his personal and professional life, forcing him to leave his job in security and contributing to the breakdown of his marriage.
Adding to the gravity of the allegations, Doe revealed that a celebrity witnessed the alleged assault but chose to laugh rather than intervene. The name of the witness remains undisclosed.

Legal Challenges & Inconsistencies
The case isn’t without controversy. Initial discrepancies in the lawsuit, including the date of the alleged assault and John Doe’s marital status at the time, led his attorneys to amend the filing.
While the original claim stated the incident occurred in 2006 during a White Party in St. Tropez, the updated complaint places the event in 2007 at the Hamptons.
Doe’s legal team, led by attorneys Tony Buzbee and Andrew Van Arsdale, represents dozens of accusers alleging abuse by Combs.
Currently, over 30 civil suits have been filed against the music mogul, with allegations ranging from sexual assault to racketeering.
Combs, who is in federal custody facing charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy, has denied all accusations and pleaded not guilty.
In response to the allegations, Combs’ legal team issued a statement: “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman.”
A Life Forever Changed
For John Doe, speaking out is a step toward healing, though he remains resolute about maintaining his anonymity. “I have a semblance of a life, a very quiet life,” he said. “I would prefer what little is left of it to be left alone.”
As the case develops, the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs continue to cast a shadow over the music icon’s career and legacy. Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds.
