A former model who accused Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs of 𝑠e𝑥ual assault claims to have kept her unwashed clothes that she wore on the night the rapper allegedly attacked her.

Crystal McKinney said in a lawsuit she held onto the clothing wrapped in a plastic bag for over two decades, after she claimed to be drugged and 𝑠e𝑥ually assaulted by Combs in 2003.

According to her lawsuit filed this week in New York, McKinney said that she met Diddy because she was told he could ‘advance her modeling career’, but was plied with marijuana and alcohol before being forced to perform oral 𝑠e𝑥 on the rapper.

McKinney said she believes Diddy ‘blackballed’ her from the industry following the incident, and saw her career crumble before she attempted suicide in 2004.

Former model Crystal McKinney is the latest person to come forward with allegations against Diddy, claiming the rapper drugged and 𝑠e𝑥ually assaulted her in his studio in 2003

McKinney first gained attention as a model aged 17, when she won MTV’s first ‘Model Mission’ beauty pageant in 1998.

Her early success led her to be invited to a Men’s Fashion Week event in 2003 in New York City, where she claimed in her lawsuit that she was referred to Diddy to help her career.

Citing a person named only as ‘the designer’ in the lawsuit, she said they arranged for her to meet the rapper, and gave her a full makeover to impress him.

This included new hair extensions and roots to appear ‘platinum blonde’, and an eye-catching outfit that she claims to have held onto over two decades later.

She said the designer decked her out in ‘a black leather coat with a fur hood, a translucent chiffon beige v-cut shirt, fur-lined handbag, and jewel-encrusted jeans,’ per the lawsuit.

McKinney said she kept the clothes ‘due to the traumatic events to occur later’, and never washed them before storing them ‘in her closet where they remain in a plastic wrap.’

Early in the evening, she said she was taken to meet Diddy at the Cipriani Downtown restaurant in Manhattan, where he was eating and drinking with others, including the designer.

‘Once seated, Combs made a very public display of coming on to Plaintiff in a 𝑠e𝑥ually suggestive manner which continued throughout the dinner,’ the lawsuit said, adding that he would constantly refill her glass of wine.

Diddy allegedly boasted of his influence over the fashion world, and whispered in her ear that she was ‘going to make it big’ in her career – with his behavior described as ‘flirtatious, bordering on leering.’

After leaving the restaurant, the rapper told her to call him later, and she said she met up later that night at his studio in Midtown Manhattan.

McKinney said she arrived to find Diddy drinking and smoking weed with friends, and she joined them. After becoming intoxicated on both substances, she said she had enough, but Diddy allegedly continued to ply her with more.

She alleged that at some point, Diddy pulled her into a back room, before forcing her to perform oral 𝑠e𝑥 on him as she protested, which left her feeling ‘panicked and physically sick’, the lawsuit claimed.

The model said she passed out at the studio, and woke up in the back of a taxi heading to the designer’s apartment.

Following the incident, McKinney said she saw her career ‘dwindle and evaporate entirely’, and believes it was Diddy ‘blackballing’ her that cost her.

She attempted suicide in 2004 due to the alleged incident, and said she was constantly reminded of it through the years as Diddy ‘was an inescapable presence in music, television and film.’

The latest lawsuit comes a week after shocking footage emerged showing Diddy violently assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a California hotel

Diddy released an apology video following the video’s release, where he said he was sorry for his past behavior and said he ‘f***** up’

The lawsuit is the latest in a string of scandals and legal battles facing the embattled rapper, who was said to be ‘stunned’ by the release of surveillance footage last week showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

The footage sparked widespread outrage, and Diddy subsequently shared an apology video where he said he ‘f***** up.’

He has also faced raids by federal agents at his Florida and California properties over a reported investigation into human trafficking.

The rapper has denied the allegations against him and has not been charged.
