- The accuser will remain anonymous while Diddy’s motion to dismiss is pending
- Her real name will be added to all court documents if he loses his motion
- She was the fourth woman in quick succession to accuse Diddy of sexual assault
Diddy scored a legal victory in court on Thursday as he fights a lawsuit brought by a woman accusing him of sex trafficking and gang raping her with other men when she was a teen.
A judge overseeing the case has ruled that the woman — whose identity has so far been kept under wraps — will no longer be able to stay anonymous if the lawsuit continues, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ.
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed in December that the rapper-turned-music mogul was being sued by the woman, who said she was 17 when Diddy allegedly sexually assaulted her with two male friends.
The accuser was the fourth woman to accuse Diddy of sexual assault in quick succession last year after his ex, the singer Cassie, sued him in November 2023.
Diddy has vehemently denied the accusations of each of the women.

The woman accused Diddy of gang raping her with two other men when she was only 17 in 2003 after plying her with drugs and alcohol. He has denied the claim; she is pictured sitting on his lap in photos she claims were taken on the night of the alleged assault
Diddy has filed a motion to have the woman’s case thrown out, and she will reportedly remain anonymous until the judge rules on that motion.
If they opt to allow her suit to continue, then her name will be added to all court documents.
The so-far anonymous woman filed her lawsuit on December 6 thanks to New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which allowed accusers to sue alleged perpetrators during a one-time one-year window despite the statute of limitations passing.
