Woman Accuses Sean 'Diddy' Combs of Assault and Links Him to Tupac's Murder: Lawsuit Claims. Sean "Diddy" Combs Faces New Sexual Assault Allegations Linked to Tupac Shakur Murder

Introduction to the Lawsuit Against Sean "Diddy" Combs

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the renowned music executive, is once again facing legal trouble. In a new lawsuit, a woman has accused Combs of sexual assault, alleging that he raped her in March 2018. The plaintiff, Ashley Parham, claims the assault occurred shortly after she suggested Combs was involved in the 1996 murder of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur.

Details of the Allegations

According to the complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for Northern California, Parham asserts that Combs assaulted her at an apartment in Orinda, California. The incident followed a FaceTime call in February 2018 between Parham, Combs, and a man also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. During the call, Parham shared her belief that Combs was connected to Tupac’s murder, a remark that allegedly enraged Combs. The music mogul reportedly warned her that she would "pay" for making such a statement.

The Incident Leading to the Assault

In March 2018, Parham claims she was at the home of the second defendant, assisting him with cancer medication, when Combs arrived with several individuals, including his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram. Khorram, who is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit, has been previously involved in other allegations against Combs.

Parham alleges that Combs brandished a knife and threatened to harm her, while Khorram intimidated her by stating she could be "sent anywhere in the world" and would never see her family again. The lawsuit also accuses Khorram of aiding in the intimidation.

The Assault With a Remote Control

According to Parham, after Khorram and another defendant left the apartment, Combs violently assaulted her using a remote control, making her feel as though her life was under his control. Parham claims she reported the alleged assault to the Contra Costa Sheriff but mentioned that her efforts to include Combs' name led to her feeling dismissed by authorities.

Combs’ Legal Team Responds to the Lawsuit

Combs' representatives have yet to publicly comment on the new lawsuit. However, in a motion filed in federal court, Combs’ legal team argued that the latest allegations were part of a growing list of lawsuits aimed at damaging the music mogul’s reputation. The motion highlighted that over a dozen lawsuits have been filed against Combs, many of which have allegedly been discredited.

Combs’ attorneys expressed concern over the "chaotic media frenzy" surrounding the lawsuits, warning that this could prevent him from receiving a fair trial. "These ongoing allegations, if not addressed, will prevent Mr. Combs from receiving a fair trial, if it hasn’t already," his lawyers stated.

Plaintiff's Attorney Vows to Seek Justice

Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, Parham’s attorney, released a statement, saying, "I was appalled by the allegations my client shared with me and will fight diligently to ensure she receives justice."

This lawsuit adds another chapter to Combs' ongoing legal challenges, which have continued to make headlines.

Combs’ Ongoing Legal Troubles

In September 2023, Combs was indicted on federal charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution. The charges stem from an indictment that alleges Combs orchestrated events known as "freak offs," which prosecutors claim were highly organized sexual performances.

Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges and has been incarcerated in Brooklyn after being denied bail by two judges. His trial is scheduled for May 5, 2025.

Previous Allegations of Misconduct Against Combs

The latest lawsuit follows a series of legal battles for Combs, who was first thrust into the spotlight over sexual misconduct allegations in November 2022. His former partner, singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual abuse. While that lawsuit was resolved the following day, it opened the floodgates for additional allegations of misconduct against the founder of Bad Boy Records.

As Sean "Diddy" Combs continues to face mounting legal issues, the latest sexual assault lawsuit from Ashley Parham has added further complexity to the music executive’s legal battles. With a federal trial set for May 2025 and growing public scrutiny, the ongoing lawsuits are shaping the narrative around one of hip-hop's most influential figures.
