Former Model Crystal McKinney Claims She Kept ‘Unwashed’ Clothes Worn When Diddy Allegedly Assaulted Her In 2003: Lawsuit
As assault allegations continue to surface against Sean "Diddy" Combs, Crystal McKinney claims she was drugged and assaulted by the rap mogul in 2003 at his New York studio.
In a shocking turn of events, the former model and TV star claims she kept her clothes "unwashed" since the night he allegedly sexually assaulted her wrapped in a plastic bag for what's now been over two decades.
The then 22-year-old was told by an individual — who was listed as "designer" in the court filing per the 'New York Post' — that the Bad Boy Records' boss could "advance her modeling career" before arranging a meeting.
According to documents obtained by the news outlet, the designer beautified McKinney by reportedly touching up her roots to platinum blonde, adding hair extensions, and arranging her a "revealing outfit" so she'd look more attractive to the rap star.
McKinney brings the suit against the 54-year-old via the NYC Gender Motivated Violence Act to "redress the substantial and lifetime injuries she has suffered as a result of being drugged and sexually assaulted by Sean Combs, or "P. Diddy," the filing declares.

The document mentions the alleged persuasiveness of the super producer, claiming he told her she was "beautiful" and whispered in her ear that she would "make it big one day." She also claimed that he was "flirtatious, bordering on leering," and continually filled her cup with wine.
According to McKinney, later that night the two reunited at his West 44th street studio in NYC, where his alleged advances became more egregious. Allegedly, Combs and other men were drinking and smoking before eventually pressuring her to continuously do the same.
McKinney claims she felt like she was "floating" before Diddy allegedly pulled her into a back room and forcibly kissed her, per the lawsuit. Then, despite her protests, Diddy allegedly forced her to perform fellatio on him. She claims she was led back to the studio and lost consciousness. The model alleged she realized she had been abused when she woke up in a taxi, already heading back to the designer's apartment.
According to the 'New York Post,' McKinney attempted suicide in 2004 when her modeling career "began to dwindle and evaporated entirely." She suspects the "I'll Be Missing You" rapper "blackballed" her and has demanded a trial by jury.
Diddy's ex-girlfriend of over a decade, Cassie Ventura, broke her silence regarding the abuse she endured at the hands of the rap icon following video footage of him brutally assaulting her in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel. She expressed that she finally feels "safe," and urges people to believe DV victims "the first time."
"Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously. My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time," Cassie, 37, expressed. "No one should carry this weight alone."
Sean Combs is considered innocent until proven guilty, and denies the claims against him.
