- Nov 3, 2026Justice Stroth Signs Sher Tremonte’s Orders to Show Cause on Withdrawing as Combs’s Counsel in 14 New York Supreme Court Cases; Argument Set for Nov. 19
- Judge
- Justice Leslie A. Stroth
In September 2007, 18-year-old Jane Doe, a bartender and model from outside the Hamptons, was invited to Sean Combs' 'White Party' at his East Hampton, New York residence by an associate claiming celebrity ties. Accompanied by a friend, she arrived, signed a document without reading it, and entered. Pressured by waitstaff, she sipped a drink and soon felt unusually intoxicated, dizzy, and disoriented. After sitting by the pool and needing to vomit, she and her friend searched for a bathroom. Her friend left to call a taxi due to poor reception, leaving Doe on a couch. Fifteen minutes later, her friend returned to find Doe unconscious, partially undressed, surrounded by Combs and three men attempting to assault her—one on top of her, another trying to orally sodomize her. Her friend intervened, waking Doe, who was helped to dress and escape despite a man at the exit warning them about signed documents. Fearing retaliation and disbelief due to Combs' fame, they did not report the incident.
Compensatory damages for physical injuries, emotional distress, psychological harm, anxiety, humiliation, pain and suffering, and other harms; punitive damages; attorneys' fees and costs; pre- and post-judgment interest; and other relief deemed just and proper.
