A personal trainer has accused Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of passing him “around like a party favour” in a new lawsuit.

In court documents obtained by Page Six and the Daily Mail, the alleged victim, identified as John Doe, claims Combs, 54, and others “drugged and repeatedly sexually assaulted” him at an awards show afterparty in June 2022.

Echoing claims made by Combs’ other accusers, the man says that he was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement and “instructed” to consume an alcoholic beverage that left him feeling “disoriented, dizzy and weak” when he was invited to the rapper’s home after he won a lifetime achievement award at the 2022 BET Awards. 

“Eventually, a business associate of Combs guided (the) plaintiff from a large room illuminated with red lights into a smaller room,” the suit reads. “There Plaintiff observed approximately a dozen individuals, including several well-known figures, who were engaging in group-sex activities.”

The suit goes on to claim that after he realized he was impaired, “Combs approached Plaintiff, removed his pants and began performing non-consensual oral sex onto him.”

Combs is accused of ordering the personal trainer to “perform oral sex on another celebrity in the room” who then “spit in his mouth.”

“While in and out of consciousness, individuals at the party forced Plaintiff into sexual acts with both men and woman,” the suit continues. “(The) plaintiff’s physical disposition made it impossible for him to reject their advances or otherwise control his body … “These individuals, including Combs, essentially passed plaintiff’s drugged body around like a party favour for their sexual enjoyment.”

In another suit, which was part of a growing list of legal claims filed against the music mogul earlier this week, a professional athlete allegedly stopped Combs from sexually assaulting a man at one of his celeb-filled parties in 2022.

In court papers viewed by the New York Post, the man, who heads up a Los Angeles-based business renting luxury cars and jewelry, claims Combs groped him and that the attack only came to a halt because an unnamed sports star intervened.

“Combs continued to move closer and then grabbed Plaintiff’s genitals through his pants, squeezing them in a rough and sexual manner,” the suit alleges. “Plaintiff, shocked and disoriented, frozen momentarily and did not know how to respond to the weirdly inappropriate sexual advance made by Combs.”

The alleged assault ended when the sports personality — who is identified as “Professional Athlete A” — came upon the scene and stopped the alleged attack.

A photo with Combs appearing alongside other “other high profile individuals” at the party was included as part of the lawsuit, but according to the Post, the faces of the individuals have been “blurred.”

According to another plaintiff, who was 16 at the time he claims he was abused in 1998, Combs allegedly asked him to “drop his pants,” calling it “a rite of passage.” 

The man, who is identified only as John Doe in his lawsuit, said that Combs told him “the only thing that mattered was having the right look for the industry,” the Washington Post reported.

Afterward, Combs said “his people would be in touch” before he returned to the party, which Doe said was filled with “countless celebrities.” 

In another allegation against the Bad Boy Records founder filed this week, a woman claimed Combs drugged and raped her when she was 13 years old as an unnamed “male celebrity” and “female celebrity” participated.

In the lawsuit, which was obtained by the Associated Press, Variety, Deadline and NBC News, the woman, identified as Jane Doe, claims she was assaulted after attending a party that followed the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000 when she was 13.

The woman says that she was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement and given a drink that made her “feel woozy and lightheaded.”

“Looking for a place to rest, Plaintiff entered what she believed to be an empty bedroom so she could lie down for a moment,” reads the lawsuit.

She alleges that Combs entered the room with “a male and female celebrity” and “aggressively approached Plaintiff with a crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her, and said, ‘You are ready to party!’”

Combs then threw the girl toward another male celebrity, who is referred to in the lawsuit as “Celebrity A.

The new claims were filed by Tony Buzbee’s Buzbee Law Firm, which announced earlier this month it is filing 120 lawsuits against Combs, who has been in federal custody since his Sept. 16 arrest at a Manhattan hotel after police charged him with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.

In a statement to the AP, Combs’ representatives slammed the latest lawsuits and called them “clear attempts to garner publicity.” They said Combs and his legal team “have full confidence in the facts, their legal defences, and the integrity of the judicial process.”

Combs “has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman,” they added.

The I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker’s notorious “White Parties” attracted a who’s who of Hollywood over the years since their inception in the late 1990s. 

In the days after Combs’ arrest last month, photos emerged on social media showing such notable names as Jennifer Lopez, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jay-Z, Ashton Kutcher and others attending his “White Parties.”

Celebrity PR expert Eric Schiffer says that celebrities are staying quiet about Combs’ bashes to preserve their own standing in Hollywood.

“Celebrities are silent because they are scared to death of their brands bleeding out with fans over ties to Diddy, and fear if they cross him, things could turn bad. Most are still best served by staying dark,” Schiffer, CEO of Reputation Management Consultants, tells Postmedia.

In a 2006 interview, Combs said his lavish parties were meant to bridge the worlds of hip-hop and Hollywood.

“I wanted to strip away everyone’s image and put us all in the same colour, and on the same level,” he said in a in conversation with Oprah Winfrey. “I had the craziest mix. Some of my boys from Harlem; Leonardo DiCaprio, after he’d just finished Titanic. I had socialites there and relatives from down South. There were 200 people sitting out here, just having a down-home cookout.”
