According to TMZ, April was a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology when she met Diddy, who offered to mentor her in the fashion industry.
In her lawsuit, April alleges that Diddy initially showered her with gifts and flowers before their first meeting at a SoHo bar in 1995. She claims he plied her with alcohol and took her to his room at the Millennium Hotel, where she began to feel ill and disoriented. Despite being conscious, April says she was unable to defend herself as Diddy allegedly raped her. The next morning, she woke up “nude, sore, and confused.”
Months later, April claims Diddy resumed contact, luring her with promises of access to music industry events. Believing his words, she decided to give him another chance. However, she alleges that while they were walking to his car in a parking garage, Diddy forced her to perform oral sex on him, with a garage attendant witnessing the act.
