Lampros claimed that in 1996, Diddy forced her and Kim to take ecstasy and engage in sexual acts. In her lawsuit, she alleged that she resisted but felt powerless when Diddy reminded her that he could ruin her career.
She further claimed that after coercing her and Kim into sexual activity, Diddy physically assaulted her. Lampros also stated that she faced retaliation from both Diddy and Kim, resulting in her losing her job.
