The new lawsuit was filed Tuesday evening in New York federal court.
It said: “’The event was lavishly decorated, there were live music performances and there was top quality food and drink, an atmosphere of opulence and luxury, full of celebrities.
“Many unsuspecting individuals, like Plaintiff, were recruited to attend these parties.”

The lawsuit went on to allege that the alleged victim was drugged with a spiked drink, causing her to lose consciousness, and that Combs and two of his bodyguards approached the young woman and threatened her.
It alleged, “Combs told plaintiff she would be in danger if she spoke about what happened,” and said he “ran New York and would ruin her.

“At this point, plaintiff acknowledged that Combs had at least sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious. She feared for her life.”
Court documents did not confirm how the victim was able to determine that Combs was the one who raped her.
However, they say she agreed not to talk to police about what happened in exchange for her cell phone and her bag, which were allegedly taken from her at the start of the party.

The girl was then reportedly escorted to a hotel in East Hampton afterward.
The new lawsuit is one of more than two dozen civil cases filed by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee on behalf of Combs’ alleged victims — two of whom also alleged they were sexually assaulted at White Parties in 1998 and 2006.
The hip-hop mogul is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transporting individuals for prostitution.

The latest charges against Combs come after Buzbee himself faced a new lawsuit earlier this week, accusing him of using false rape allegations to “take down innocent celebrities, politicians and businesspeople” with some connection to the disgraced fallen rapper.
The suit was filed Monday by an anonymous public figure in court in Los Angeles.

The celebrity, who claimed to have attended several events with the Combs, alleged that Buzbee and his firm threatened to bring “completely fabricated and malicious allegations of sexual abuse – including multiple incidents of rape of a minor, both male and female – against the plaintiff reveal if he refuses to meet their demands.”
In response, Buzbee said he and his firm “would not allow the powerful and their expensive lawyers.” [to] intimidate or silence sexual survivors” and warned that a lawsuit against the unnamed plaintiff was imminent.

He said in a statement: “It is clear that the frivolous lawsuit filed against my company is an aggressive attempt to silence me and ultimately my clients.
“That attempt is a gross miscalculation. I am a United States Marine. I will not be silenced or intimidated. Neither will my clients. Since our professional efforts to reach a resolution have clearly failed, we will instead issue the demand letters public that we sent at the time, we have filed a complaint.”

Buzbee’s more than two dozen civil lawsuits have accused other celebrities of involvement in assaults that occurred at Combs’ parties, although many of these individuals remain unnamed.
CombsAttorneys have denied the allegations, stating, “Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, male or female.”
