A security guard who claimed he was drugged and sexually assaulted Sean “Diddy” Combs on one of the music moguls, White Parties has spoken out for the first time about the alleged meeting.

‘Nothing could give me back the person I was before that night’ the former security official said in a sit-down interview with CNN on Tuesday evening. The man, who filed his lawsuit as John Doe in October, had hidden his face and changed his voice to maintain his anonymity.

The man is the first accuser to give an on-camera interview about their alleged abuse. Producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones opened up Rolling stone earlier this year about the drugging, groping and sexual harassment he claimed to have experienced while working with Combs on the Grammy-nominated album The love album: Off the Grid.

The John Doe is represented by attorneys Tony Buzbee and Andrew Van Arsdale, who made headlines when they announced they represented more than 120 men and women in claims against Combs and his associates in October. In December, they filed 20 civil lawsuits, including a claim from a thirteen-year-old who accused Combs and Jay-Z of raping her at a VMA after-party in 2000. (Jay-Z has vehemently denied the accusation and filed a racketeering complaint lawsuit against Buzbee.)

In his CNN interview, the security official claimed for the first time that an unnamed celebrity witnessed the alleged attack, saying they “saw what happened and thought it was funny.”

When reached for comment, Combs’ reps referred Rolling stone to a statement they made at the time the man was reported, saying it was part of an effort to “gain publicity.” “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, male or female,” the statement added.

The former New Jersey security guard claimed he met Combs at the Bad Boy director’s annual White Party bash in 2007. Doe, hired through a private security firm, claimed Combs gave him special attention, offering him security work for another event and presented him with two drinks during the event.

Doe believes these drinks were spiked with GHB and ecstasy, according to his lawsuit. “I couldn’t stand,” Doe told CNN, adding that it felt like he had had more than a dozen drinks. “It was just an astonishing level of incapacitation that I had never experienced before, and I felt powerless.”

Doe felt “extremely ill” from the second drink and claimed he was leaning against his truck for support when an apparently concerned Combs approached him and asked how he was doing. However, the man’s lawsuit alleged, Combs suddenly “pushed” him into an open van, held him down and sexually assaulted him. Although the man claimed he was calling for help, Combs allegedly overpowered him and repeatedly tried to calm him down, saying, “You’re going to be okay.”

Afterwards, the man claimed he told his supervisor what happened, but the boss sent him away. “After that he didn’t talk to me anymore; he locked me out of everything,” Doe told CNN. “After that I was completely blacklisted. I had to look for another field.”

The man said he has suffered lasting trauma from the alleged attack, claiming he could not bring himself to tell his then-wife about the encounter because of his shame. “The full gravity of it lives with me to this day,” Doe said. “It affects everything you do for the rest of your life.”

CNN noted that there were inconsistencies with the man’s story, including that his original complaint claimed he had never been married. An amended complaint was filed Tuesday evening, noting that although the man was married at the time, he was “too ashamed to tell his wife after suffering the attack.” The man’s original complaint also alleged that the alleged attack occurred in August 2006. However, Combs’ White Party was held in St. Tropez that year, not New York. The new complaint has been updated the year.

Combs’ representatives pointed out the inconsistencies Rolling stone Wednesday when asked for comment. “After Buzbee was exposed this week for pressuring clients to file false cases against Mr. Combs, and after public records revealed that — contrary to his claims — there was no White Party in the Hamptons in 2006, Buzbee amended this complaint to reverse the case. accusations and claims now a different day and a completely different year,” his representatives said.
