Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sued by fashion designer for allegedly dangling her off 17th-floor balcony 

Days after a US judge rejected Sean “Diddy” Combs’s $77 million bail plea, another lawsuit was filed against the disgraced rapper and producer. 

Fashion designer Bryana “Bana” Bongolan filed a 17-page lawsuit against Combs this week in Los Angeles, according to Rolling Stone. 

The lawsuit accuses Combs of sexual battery, infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment, among other claims, with Bongolan seeking $US10 million ($15 million) in damages. 

Bongolan says she worked for Combs up until 2018 including on the 2016 Bad Boy reunion tour, album covers, music videos and a clothing line with Combs’s former partner Cassie Ventura. 

Among the claims in Bongolan’s lawsuit are accusations that Combs lifted Bongolan by her armpits and dangled her over a 17th-floor balcony at Ventura’s apartment. The suit says that Combs eventually brought her back over the balcony, at the insistence of Ventura, but not before allegedly slamming Bongolan onto the balcony’s patio furniture. 

The incident was also mentioned by Ventura in her sexual abuse and sex-trafficking lawsuit against Combs, which was settled in November last year. 

Bongolan alleges in the lawsuit that Combs cornered her at a photo shoot of Ventura’s and threatened her, saying, “I’m the motherf***ing devil. You have no idea what I could do to you. I could kill you.” 

Combs “firmly denied” Bongolan’s claims against him in a statement to Rolling Stone. 

Bongolan joins a group of 30 people that have filed civil suits against Combs for various instances of alleged abuse between the 1990s and 2022. 

Combs was arrested on criminal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking in September of this year. He is currently being held in a New York prison with a trial date set for May 2025.
