Evander Kane's ex-wife named as Jane Doe in sexual assault lawsuit against Diddy

Anna Kane, the ex-wife of NHL player Evander Kane, has been identified as one of the plaintiffs suing Sean “Diddy” Combs for sexual assault, according to newly filed court documents. Previously listed as Jane Doe, Anna revealed her identity as required by the court to proceed with the case.

Kane alleges she was sexually assaulted by Diddy and others in 2003 when she was 17 and still in high school. She claims Harve Pierre, president of Bad Boy Entertainment, approached her in Detroit, complimented her appearance, and invited her to New York City on a private jet. Upon arrival, she alleges she was taken to a recording studio, given drugs and alcohol, and subsequently assaulted.

Through her attorney, Kane expressed her resolve to continue the legal battle despite the difficulties of going public. “Defendants’ demand that I use my name was an attempt to intimidate me, but I am not intimidated. I am prepared to proceed and hold accountable those who have harmed me,” she stated. Sean Combs has denied all allegations.

The lawsuit adds to a series of legal challenges facing the music mogul, who has been named in multiple lawsuits in recent weeks, including a high-profile case involving his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie, which was settled in November 2023. Anna Kane married Evander Kane in 2018, and the couple shares one child. They divorced in July 2021.
