New York Woman Claims Drugging and Abandonment After Attending Diddy-Dirty Money Concert in Manhattan

A New York woman alleges she was drugged with a date rape drug and left on a Manhattan sidewalk after attending a 2011 Diddy-Dirty Money concert at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. Represented by Long Island attorney Bob Macedonio, the accuser shared her story in the wake of federal sex trafficking charges against Sean "Diddy" Combs. "We're investigating and potentially going to bring action," Macedonio told Fox News Digital. "We are in the process of obtaining any and all police and medical records and interviewing witnesses." The incident, dating back to April 22, 2011, began when the woman and a friend were invited backstage after chatting with one of Combs' security guards. "One of the girls I was close with was talking to [Combs'] security guard, and she got us backstage to speak to him and hang out," she recounted. She described the backstage setting as a room "covered in balloons and Ciroc from one wall to the other." While backstage, she recalls being handed a drink. "They handed us a drink, and literally that's all I remember," she said, recalling only the loud noise from the stage before blacking out. Hours later, she woke up near her parked car with no memory of the events that had transpired. Shaken and unwell, she attempted to drive home but called her mother for support, ultimately going to a hospital for a sexual assault examination. Tests detected date rape drugs in her system, although no signs of penetration were found. At the hospital, her mother confirmed the woman’s recollection, noting that her daughter’s underwear had been torn open, which she later provided to police. Despite her claims, Suffolk County police reported no records of the case. The woman tried to piece together what happened by contacting unfamiliar numbers added to her phone that night, but her attempts yielded minimal information. "This guy was like, 'Oh, you were fine,'" she said. "I said, ‘No I was not fine, somebody slipped me something’…Nobody wanted to say anything." Macedonio requested her medical records earlier this year, but the hospital reported that her general records had been "purged" in accordance with state laws. However, the attorney noted that sex assault examination records are stored differently, and he is working with his client to obtain them specifically. The woman said recent allegations against Combs prompted her to take legal action, as she has struggled with the lingering trauma of not knowing exactly what happened. "Not knowing what happened to me, that really messes with your brain," she stated. "Now, to hear all this stuff that came out, it's horrific, especially if this man did stuff to younger kids." Combs, currently held without bail, is awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, with additional civil lawsuits pending. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
