Diddy got slammed with another lawsuit, this time by a former intern who says he was drugged and raped at a wild 2014 after-party thrown by the Hip-Hop heavyweight in Los Angeles – and then found out he had HIV. The accuser, going by “John Doe,” says he was trying to break into the entertainment biz when he ended up at a house in Val Verde for a music video shoot that rolled into one of Diddy’s infamous after-parties.
