Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused in a new lawsuit of dangling a woman from the 17th-floor balcony of an apartment during an altercation. The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles by fashion designer Bryana “Bana” Bongolan alleges the incident happened in 2016 while she was at the home of Mr Combs’ then-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.
The lawsuit filed in 2016, claims Mr Combs started shouting and banging on the front door, and after coming inside, he allegedly confronted Ms Bongolan, who was on the balcony at the time, grabbed and molested her. He then lifted her up and started dangling her from the balcony of the unit, the lawsuit alleges.
At the time of the incident, Ms Bongolan weighed about 100lb (45.3 kg), according to the lawsuit. It claims Ms Bongolan “attempted to resist him, throwing her weight back in a desperate struggle to avoid being thrown to the ground and likely to her death”, but Mr Combs “easily overpowered her”.
The lawsuit states that Ms Ventura came outside to intervene, and Mr Combs allegedly pulled Ms Bongolan back over the ledge by slamming her onto patio furniture.
Mr Combs has denied the allegations, and his representative said he “firmly denies these serious allegations” in the new lawsuit and “remains confident they will ultimately be proven baseless”.
Ms Bongolan is seeking $10m (£7.89m) in damages from the rapper. In the lawsuit, Ms Bongolan alleged that it was a “culmination of a series of threats, intimidation and violence that coloured many of Ms Bongolan’s interactions with Mr Combs from the day she met him”.
The allegations echo an incident noted in a separate lawsuit filed by Ms Ventura against Mr Combs. That lawsuit, which was filed in 2023 and settled the day after, alleged abuse, rape and sex trafficking. It noted an episode at Ms Ventura’s apartment when Mr Combs “picked up one of Ms Ventura’s friends like a child and dangled the friend over the balcony”.
