Diddy accuser speaks out for the first time on his sexual assault allegations: ‘I felt powerless’

An anonymous John Doe sat down with CNN on Tuesday to share, for the first time, what he described as the traumatic toll the alleged abuse he endured by Sean “Diddy” Combs has taken on his life.

An anonymous John Doe sat down with CNN on Tuesday to share, for the first time, what he described as the traumatic toll the alleged abuse he endured by Sean “Diddy” Combs has taken on his life. Doe initially filed his complaint against Combs on October 14, alleging that he was drugged and sodomized by the embattled music mogul at one of his infamous White Parties nearly two decades ago. Speaking anonymously on camera about his claims in his civil suit, the accuser said this week that he has harbored the secret of his alleged abuse from 2007 – not even telling his then-wife because of the shame he associated with the alleged incident. “The full gravity of it lives with me to this day,” Doe told CNN in an interview conducted at his home in New Jersey. “It affects every single thing you do for the rest of your life.” Doe is the first civil accuser of Combs to publicly speak to the media in an interview. According to his lawsuit, Doe was employed by a private security firm in 2007, when he was asked to work at one of Combs’ White Parties at the producer’s estate in East Hampton, New York.
