An Austrian woman is making shocking allegations against Diddy amid his ongoing trial… and she wants serious consequences for the music mogul because of what he allegedly did to her more than two decades ago.
Kathi Steininger (pictured above) was ready to take the stand last week during Sean Combs‘ jaw-dropping and ongoing NYC trial. Prior to her would-be testimony, she was merely an anonymous alleged victim of the rapper after what she claimed was a horrific encounter on his tour bus way back in 2000.
But she wasn’t able to testify in the trial, according to Steininger herself in an interview with the Austrian news outlet PULS 24 on Monday. See, her claims against Diddy are 25 years old, and were outside the statute of limitations for that reason and also because they allegedly occurred in Europe, rather than the US. So, she got denied from testifying. But rather than stay anonymous for the rest of her life, she is now coming out to tell her story…

Speaking to that aforementioned Austrian broadcast outlet on Monday night, Steininger revealed that when she was just 19 years old way back in March 2000, she was a budding journalist who managed to snag an on-camera interview with the Making The Band mogul during his European tour.
However, at some point during their chat, Steininger claims she was separated from her cameraman and given a drink by the rap music mogul. That drink, she believes, was laced with some kind of drug. Because the next thing Steininger knew, she was allegedly in the back of Diddy’s tour bus being raped by the A-lister.
OMG…
She also believes she was drugged because she told the German language news outlet that she felt too groggy and removed from her senses to move, fight back, or cry for help. Recalling the moment that allegedly occurred 25 years ago in her Monday night interview, Steininger said:
“There was 100 percent something in [the drink]. I would never have gone to bed with that man.”
Worse still, she recalled how she felt too “ashamed” to talk to anyone about it or tell the authorities what happened after the alleged attack. Instead, she said she suffered for years with post-traumatic stress disorder. It eventually got so bad that she wasn’t able to work, and she stopped pursuing her journalism dreams.
Recently, after all the allegations against Diddy have poured out for months on end, she reached out to American prosecutors about testifying at his trial. That didn’t work, though, as we noted above. She also reached out to Austrian prosecutors in a bid to have Diddy charged there for the alleged attack. She even wants him extradited to the European nation to face the consequences of his purported actions.
Unfortunately, the authorities in Austria told her the attack is considered outside the statute of limitations there, too, because it happened so long ago. And yet… she did also tell PULS 24 that government attorneys have told her they might try to reexamine her allegations based on whatever comes of the rest of Combs’ sex trafficking trial.
To that end, she told the news outlet:
“I want some kind of punishment for what he did to me.”
We honestly can’t even imagine what she’s been through for the last 25 years. Ugh.
