X blogger MDNews also shared some of the gruesome contents of her lawsuit, which reads:

"The victim, Joi Dickerson-Neal, is accusing Diddy of drugging and assaulting her in 1991. She says she and the music mogul went out to eat and believes at some point, he drugged her food. Afterwards, she began to feel the effects, but the two still went to a studio. From there, Neal says she was driven to a home where she was assaulted. The victim also accuses Diddy of recording the encounter."
