A reporter has accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of drugging and raping her after she tried to get an interview in the midst of his sex trafficking trial.

Kathi Steininger claimed she was set to tell her dark story on the stand, but broke her anonymity after she was dismissed, The US Sun reported.

Combs, 55, is accused of hiring prostitutes as perverse entertainment for his so-called “freak offs,” which were sex parties that had a roster of high-profile guests.

He would allegedly ply attendees and sex workers with drugs before filming them in compromising positions, and use the tapes as blackmail.

At the centre of the charges is his relationship with ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who broke the story wide open when she sued the mega producer in November 2023.

In that suit, she accused her ex-lover of raping and beating her, as well as forcing her to take part in the sometimes days-long freak-offs.

After the lawsuit was filed and settled out of court, dozens of alleged victims came forward with legal complaints of their own, where they described harrowing brushes with the rapper.

Now, Steininger, who is an Austrian national, has claimed in an interview that she was also targeted by the mega producer when she was just 19 years old.

In March 2000, the budding journalist scored an on-camera interview with Combs during his European tour, she told Austrian broadcaster PULS 24 on Monday.

 

But at some point during the chat, she claims she was separated from her cameraman and given a drink by Combs, which she believes was drugged.

The next thing she knew, the then-teenager was allegedly on the back of a tour bus being raped by the musician. She said she felt too out of it to move or cry for help.

“There was 100 percent something in it,” she said of the drink.

“I would never have gone to bed with that man.”

After the alleged attack, she said she felt too “ashamed” to tell anyone.

Steininger claimed she was going to take the stand as part of Combs’ ongoing trial, but said her story was out of the statute of limitations because she and Diddy were overseas.

After getting that news, she chose to break her anonymity and join the growing chorus of women and men urging for justice.

The accuser claimed the alleged attack left her with post-traumatic stress disorder and that she was unable to work.

She’s reached out to prosecutors in Austria to pursue charges, but because the alleged attack was so long ago, it’s also considered outside the statute of limitations.

However, she claims that state attorneys told her they would re-examine the case based on the results of Combs’ sex trafficking trial.
