Sean 'Diddy' Combs accuser Crystal McKinney sues Harvey Weinstein for sexual assault in shocking trial crossover
Share and Follow

One of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sexual assault accusers is now suing convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein for the same crime.

In documents acquired by People, Crystal McKinney filed a lawsuit against a film producer in New York’s Manhattan Federal Court. She accused Weinstein of enticing her and a friend to his hotel room back in 2003.

The lawsuit stated that the former model was led to believe by Weinstein, who is currently imprisoned while awaiting a retrial for his previous sex crime convictions, that the meeting was regarding potential business opportunities in the movie industry.

McKinney and her companion reportedly first met with Weinstein at a nightclub before being invited to continue the discussion in his suite at the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park Hotel in New York City.

McKinney claimed the “Shakespeare in Love” producer “piled” booze on them before leaning into touch her chest.

According to the suit, she and her friend went to the restroom, where Weinstein later came in with his privates exposed.

McKinney claimed the “St. Vincent” producer made her and her friend engage in sexual acts with each other before he allegedly raped them.

Weinstein’s attorney, Imran H. Ansari, denied the claims in a statement to Page Six on Sunday.

“Harvey Weinstein categorically denies the outlandish and fantastical claims made against him by Crystal McKinney in her complaint,” Ansari told us.

“Made late in time and suspiciously on the heels of her complaint against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Mr. Weinstein is ready to refute and defend against the salacious claims, that are believed to have been made with an opportunistic motive.”

McKinney also accused Combs, 55, of assaulting her that same year in a lawsuit filed last May.

McKinney accused the “Act Bad” rapper of sexually assaulting her in 2003 following a Men’s Fashion Week event in New York City.

According to the lawsuit, she was 22 years old when she met the dad of seven at the celebrity hotspot Cipriani.

McKinney alleged she and several of Combs’ friends went back to his studio for drinks and to smoke weed.

Per the docs, she described the joint as “very powerful” and recalled becoming delirious, alleging it was laced with other drugs.

McKinney claimed Combs, who is currently on trial for sex trafficking and other charges, then allegedly ordered her to the restroom, where she claimed he forcefully came onto her and moved her head toward his private area. (Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges.)

He then allegedly told her to “suck it” and made her give him oral sex.

McKinney described the alleged situation, saying she lost consciousness while walking away and later woke up in a taxi.

McKinney is seeking damages, claiming she attempted suicide the following year and suffered from depression.

While Combs didn’t speak out about McKinney’s lawsuit, his lawyers have previously denied other allegations of sexual assault.

“No matter how many lawsuits are filed — especially by individuals who refuse to put their own names behind their claims — it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor,” the Bad Boy Records founder’s legal team previously stated.

“We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”
