Sean “Diddy” Combs is being accused of sexual misconduct by a contestant on his former reality show I Want to Work for Diddy.

In court documents obtained by Rolling Stone on Thursday, February 27, Kendra Haffoney alleged that the rap mogul sexually assaulted her while participating in the first season of his VH1 reality show.

On one occasion, Haffoney alleged that Diddy, 55, invited her to an afterparty where she was offered a drink that resulted in her feeling “delirious.”

According to the lawsuit, Combs allegedly “guided [Haffoney’s] head down to have her perform oral six on him.” Haffoney alleged the effects of whatever she ingested, along with the power dynamics of the situation, left her feeling powerless to resist.

Plaintiff wanted to leave, but as the oral six with Diddy continued, she felt her body getting weak and she ultimately passed out,” the lawsuit alleged. “She knew that she had been drugged with something, she felt weak, and her vxgina area felt sore. Plaintiff knew she had been sixually assaulted, rxped, but did not know what to say or who to speak with, was ashamed, confused, degraded, humiliated and shocked, so she suffered in silence and continued on the show.”

After the incident, Haffoney alleged that she flew with the cast to Los Angeles to continue filming. Without elaborating, she claimed Diddy subjected her to “additional acts of sixual assault and misconduct” in California.

I Want to Work for Diddy aired on VH1 in 2008 and featured contestants competing in a series of tasks for an opportunity to become Diddy’s assistant.

Haffoney’s lawsuit was filed in New York under the Gender-Motivated Violence Act. The act allows survivors whose claims were previously time-barred to file a suit against their abuser during the window period of March 1, 2023 and March 1, 2025.
