It's the latest twist in the saga of Sean "Diddy" Combs, and it's another shambling, disturbing one: Now, there's a new allegation of abuse being aired out, with intimidating behavior happening as we speak.

The unnamed plaintiff, identified as John Doe, recently filed new court documents, which claim that someone pretending to be a Diddy associate and his son, Christian Combs, called him on the phone and issued a chilling warning.

The call, Doe says, was from a blocked number. There was no identification made, but the voice said that the "friend of Christian and Puffy" wanted to meet Doe. Just the cryptic nature of that call and the secrecy that surrounded it was enough to shake Doe to his core. His lawyer, Antigone Curis, did not hold back.

"Combs and the people on his staffs are dangerous people," she said bluntly. "This call illustrates the kind of pressure and tactics they're willing to exert."

The purpose of the call seemed clear to Doe's legal team: intimidation. It's a chilling reminder of the trauma Doe says he's been carrying for decades.

Doe's lawsuit, filed earlier this year, claims that Diddy sexually assaulted him in 1997 when Doe was a high-profile barber based in Harlem who cut the hair of leading musical figures at the time. The complaint paints an unsettling picture: a night at a recording studio followed by a fog of alcohol and marijuana, and then waking up and sensing something terrible, his clothes were disrupted, his body wet with what he assumed was semen.

"Yo Puff, the f### is this funny s###?!" Doe reportedly yelled at him, to which Combs coolly replied, "You alright?"

Doe says he walked out of the studio humiliated and shaken, but not before Diddy attempted to patch things up with what McCollum remembers being a wad of cash around $1,000. That wasn't the last time the two would encounter one another. Through the years, Doe says Diddy would sometimes give him money at public events as a way of paying him back for the quiet.

Doe has insisted on keeping his identity concealed, and this latest move has further rallied his cause. His team contends going public would increase the peril and make him vulnerable to retribution from Diddy's connections.

And while Diddy finds himself in an increasingly severe legal maelstrom, one that involves being charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, this harassment claim is another ugly layer to an already grim story. What started as an intensely personal trauma is now accelerating into a broader story of power, fear, and control. For now, John Doe is speaking out but remains in hiding, hoping the court and the world are listening.
