A new lawsuit claims that a professional athlete allegedly intervened to stop a drunk Sean “Diddy” Combs from sexually assaulting a luxury car businessman at one of his celebrity-filled parties. The alleged victim,“John Doe,” states that the incident took place during a launch party for Combs’ vodka brand around 2022, according to court documents. The businessman, who operates a Los Angeles-based company renting luxury cars and jewelry, alleges that Combs took off his pants and exposed himself after inviting the guest into his private office during the event.

After further research about this claim I found it to be true, multiple news sites have collectively come to the same consensus that Sean Combs sexually assaulted a man. You did a good job summarizing the NY Post article with the key components of the claim with evidence.
