The lawsuit alleges that Combs forced Lampros to perform oral sex on him while walking to Combs’ car in a parking garage on their way to dinner. A parking attendant witnessed the assault but did nothing. After that incident, Lampros declined his future invitations, which allegedly outraged Combs. He reportedly called her constantly in anger and threatened to blacklist her from the industry.
In 1996, Lampros alleges that Combs ordered her to his apartment where she was introduced to Combs’ late ex-girlfriend, model Kim Porter. Combs allegedly forced her to take ecstasy and commanded her to have sex with Porter while he watched and masturbated. Lampros claims that at one point, Combs raped her again.
Lampros and Combs cut ties in 1998, but she ran into Porter at a restaurant where she was working. Porter allegedly told the restaurant owner that Lampros had tried to poison her and claimed that if she wasn’t fired, Combs would have the restaurant shut down. Lampros was subsequently fired.
Combs has faced several other lawsuits accusing him of rape, sexual misconduct, and other crimes. In April, federal agents raided Combs’s California and Florida mansions as part of an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security team dealing with human trafficking.
