Sean 'Diddy' Combs Issues Blanket Denial of Sexual Assault Lawsuits: 'I Did Not Do Any of the Awful Things Being Alleged'

The music mogul was hit with a fourth lawsuit on Wednesday

Sean “Diddy” Combs is speaking out for the first time to deny the mounting number of sexual assault claims he’s facing, as his fourth accuser in less than three weeks files suit in New York.

Combs, 54, and Harve Pierre, the former president of Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment company, were accused of sex trafficking and gang rape in a suit filed by an anonymous woman on Wednesday, prompting the music mogul to issue a statement vehemently denying the allegations.

“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” he wrote in the statement, which was obtained by PEOPLE. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday.”

The “Last Night” rapper was first sued by ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura for alleged rape, sex trafficking and domestic violence on Nov. 16. The two reached a settlement one day later — but shortly after, he was named in two more lawsuits.

In one, Combs was accused of drugging and raping a woman named Joi Dickerson-Neal while she was a Syracuse University student in 1991. In the other, a Jane Doe claimed Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall raped her and a friend in New York City more than 30 years ago.

In Wednesday’s suit, an anonymous woman alleged that she was a 17-year-old junior in high school when Pierre flew her out from Michigan to New York City, where she was allegedly plied with drugs and alcohol, then raped by Combs, Pierre and an unnamed third person (Pierre was also recently sued for allegedly grooming and sexually assaulting his former assistant).

“Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged,” Combs said in his statement. “I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”

Since Cassie’s suit, Combs has, through his representatives, continued to double down on his innocence, calling Dickerson-Neal’s allegations “made up and not credible” in a statement shared by his rep.

“This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head. Ms. Dickerson's 32-year-old story is made up and not credible,” the statement read. “Mr. Combs never assaulted her, and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more.”

He also denied the claims put forth in the suit involving Hall, calling them "fabricated" and "nothing but a money grab."

Combs previously reached a settlement with Ventura, saying in a statement at the time: “We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.”

In a statement of her own, Ventura said she’d “decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control.”

On Nov. 28, Combs stepped down from his position as chairman of Revolt, the music-focused television network he cofounded with Andy Schuon in 2013.

"Our focus has always been one that reflects our commitment to the collective journey of Revolt — one that is not driven by any individual, but by the shared efforts and values of our entire team on behalf of advancing elevating and championing our culture — and that continues,” the network said, in part, in a statement.
