Diddy spiked my drink – it felt like I had 50 valium… he wanted me to leave with him but I feared I'd be raped
Belen Ronda Campesino, 45, says she felt so out of it after encountering the now disgraced hip-hip mogul at the club she worked at, that it felt like she had taken '50 Valium tablets'.

The beautician claims Combs, 55, then tried to drag her to a house party where she fears she might have been raped.
Her story comes after Grammy-winning US rapper Combs was convicted on Wednesday of prostitution charges in his sex-crimes trial in New York.
He was found not guilty of the more serious crimes of racketeering and sex-trafficking but could still face 20 years in prison.
Belen says details from the star's trial — including claims he made two ex-girlfriends have sex with male escorts at drug-fuelled parties referred to as 'freak-offs' — had turned her stomach, made her heart race and given her 'severe anxiety'.
She adds: 'It makes me furious to hear during his trial what he has done to women.
'I don't really follow the news but when I saw some pictures of this guy because of his trial I got really nervous.
'I had a similar experience with him to everything that has been coming out now.'
Belen says she encountered Combs in 2006 around the DJ booth at the DC-10 club where she worked.
She recalls: 'It looked like he had taken a lot of drugs, his jaw was totally out of joint.
'He was with four very large bodyguards.
Diddy's 'phantom fixer' breaks her cover after rapper cleared of racketeering
'He made sexual advances on me, telling me that he liked me a lot.'
Belen, who lives in Spain, says things had begun to go south, when Combs bought her a drink.
She adds: 'I saw that when he went to put the wad of cash away he took out a bag with a white powder in it, which I thought was cocaine.
'But he started to do something weird in his pocket and it really bothered me.
'I turned around and was telling a friend, but then I stupidly drank the juice.
'About 10 or 15 minutes later I started feeling dizzy and sleepy and I was sweating heavily.
'I didn't understand what was going on.'
She reveals that she had tried to escape to the VIP area, but he followed her there and tried to get her to a party at his house.

She says: 'I told him I didn't want to go, that I was not feeling well and needed to go home.
'He squeezed my arm and was pulling on my hand.
'That's when I felt sure they had put something in my drink.
'My friend really wanted to go to the party but I told her we might be raped if we went.'
'Dizzy and sleepy'
She says Combs tried to stop her leaving, but she ran to the bathroom and left the club.
She reveals: 'The next day I slept the whole day.
'People were calling me and ringing my bell at home but I didn't hear anything.
'It was like I had taken 50 Valium tablets.
'Now I realise I had a very lucky escape.'
A party fixer exclusively told The Sun on Sunday last year how Ibiza clubs such as DC-10, Space and Amnesia were Combs' stomping grounds for years.
After the verdicts were read out on Wednesday at his trial, Combs dropped to his knees and made a praying gesture.

But he was denied bail, remains in jail and is expected to be sentenced over his prostitution conviction on October 3.
But due to sentencing guidelines, he is likely to serve less than five years in prison.
A lawyer representing more than 100 alleged victims in civil cases against Combs vowed they would fight on despite the sex-trafficking and racketeering not-guilty verdicts.
Tony Buzbee said: 'Diddy dodged a big bullet today.
'But that doesn't end the saga.'

Shopkeeper jailed for 10 years for sexually assaulting and grooming a girl in his shop
A shopkeeper who groomed and sexually assaulted a teenage girl in Stockport has been jailed for 10 years. Daniel Hashmi was found guilty of six offences, including attempted rape, against the same girl after a trial at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court. He was sentenced to ten years in prison, Greater Manchester police said. Hashmi was arrested in December 2024 after the sister of a friend reported her suspicions to the police. During the court trial, the victim said in a statement: "I thought I could trust him. He is an adult, and they are meant to be protectors, but after this, I will never trust anyone again. "This has affected me more than anyone will ever know - I feel betrayed and completely let down. "He has taken away the most important things that I will never get back - I feel used, and that's the worst thing." Police established that offences had taken place in Hashmi's business on Wellington Road South, Stockport, between November and December last year. The shopkeeper had bought vodka and vapes for his victim, on one occasion blocking the door in a back room to the shop with a sofa to prevent her from leaving before sexually assaulting her. He denied the offences but was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault on a female, two counts of attempted rape and assault by penetration. In addition to his 10-year sentence, Hashimi will have to sign the sex offender's register for life, and will be given a restraining order and a lifelong sexual harm protection order. Detective constable Ben Swapp, of Stockport's complex safeguarding team, said: 'The girl and her family have shown enormous courage, and we will continue to support Stockport Complex Safeguarding Team is a multi-agency team focused on protecting vulnerable children and young people from exploitation and harm. "This team, which includes police officers, social workers, and other professionals, works to identify, assess, and respond to safeguarding concerns, particularly those related to child exploitation. "We are absolutely committed to removing offenders like Hashimi from the streets, as the danger he poses to society, and particularly to children, is significant.' He said he hoped the sentence would give victims the confidence to report crimes of this nature and trust that perpetrators will be brought to justice.

EXCLUSIVE Woman issues chilling warning to Brits buying holiday homes in Spain after squatters invade home and leave her £90k out of pocket
A British woman has warned against buying property in Spain after being forced to sell her squatted villa for a fraction of its value. Louise Bawn, 53, from Bristol, has been battling to win back her €160,000 (£138,000) home in Cartama, Malaga, since it was illegally occupied in early 2023. But after repeated inaction by the local police and courts, she has given up and decided to sell. She told MailOnline she will be lucky to get €30,000 (£26,000) as she must notify buyers that it comes 'okupado' - filled with squatters. She said: 'I stand to lose over €100,000 (£86,000), not to mention the amount I've already lost by them stealing two cars plus the entire contents of both the house and garage. 'My father had thousands of pounds worth of tools which are all gone… it's disgusting that they are allowed to get away with it.' The two-bedroom home is in the village of Sexmo, which sits in the picturesque hills of inland Malaga, but is only around a 20-minute drive from the coast. It was left to her by her late father, and she was in the process of renovating it when it was first broken into in February 2023. Louise went straight to the authorities who she says did nothing to turf the squatters out. For more than a year, Louise tried everything to get her house back, including hiring a so-called 'desokupa' firm, which sees a group of strong-armed men physically remove illegal dwellers. Louise estimates that she has spent upwards of €20,000 (£17,000) on trying to get her house back, including flights, accommodation and legal fees. The two cars which were allegedly stolen from her garage were worth €15,000 (£15,000), while her father's very expensive tools and solar panels he was set to install were valued at €50,000 (£43,000). The brand new kitchen that was in the middle of being installed was also ripped from the walls and taken away. The sheer level of destruction was not revealed until September 2024, when police finally removed the squatters after it emerged they were dealing drugs. The very same day, Louise entered the property to find it had been totally ransacked. In a video shared with MailOnline, a security team can be seen installing new alarms and security cameras. Incredibly, just five hours later, the property was taken over by more squatters. 'I believe there is a network in the area because the person who I saw the first time is not the same one who the alarm caught breaking in,' Louise added. The CCTV footage showed men breaking and entering, meaning the authorities had a right to remove them for breaking the law. Despite this, when the Guardia Civil showed up, they took the side of the squatters, leaving Louise locked out of her villa once more. She recalled: 'We secured the house and within five hours it was broken into again. The Guardia Civil arrived but believed them over us and our estate agent.' The squatters claimed they had been living there for two years. 'The police asked if we were sleeping there and when we said no because we were there to secure it and sell it, they just shrugged their shoulders.' Louise has been back and forth with the authorities for the past 10 months but has received no meaningful help. In a letter seen by MailOnline, the Foreign Office said it was 'unable to intervene in the judicial processes of another country.' Louise said: 'At some point I have to draw a line and stop throwing good money after bad', adding that she would 'never buy a property in Spain', and never wants to return to the country. Louise continued: 'My advice is don't even consider buying there… my only suggestion is for owners to get a monitored alarm, never leave the property empty for any length of time and get squatters insurance. 'None of this is a guarantee because I believe some of the police take bribes from the squatters to allow them to stay. 'The reality of owning a home in Spain is a far cry from the dream life portrayed on property shows. 'No amount of locks, security gates and alarms will stop the determination of these squatters because the law turns a blind eye and seems to be on their side rather than that of the homeowner. 'I bet it would be a different story if it was the cops' property being occupied!' Squatting has long been a scourge on the Spanish property market, but the public are becoming increasingly aware and tired of the lacklustre laws designed to tackle it. It comes after a new 'anti-squatter law' came into effect in April which allows squatters who break into a property to be evicted within 15 days. However, it does not apply to tenants who had a rental contract and stopped paying their landlord and refuse to move out. This has led many squatters to draw up fake rental contracts in a bid to delay their eviction. It's just one of the many tactics used by networks of squatters across the country, who make a business out of occupying homes. British estate agent Paul Stuart, 44, of Palm Estates, has been working along the Costa del Sol for years. He told MailOnline how the squatter issue has been getting 'progressively worse' since Covid. He said: 'I've got loads of clients affected. It genuinely upsets me what these people are doing to people, it's so disgusting and immoral, it's hard to find the words.' He said the new squatter law does nothing to tackle the problem. 'The thing is, there is a squatter's bible online that gives them all the advice on how to manipulate the law. 'They are trained and make their own contracts, as soon as cops show up they say 'yep, we are renters here'.' He said once squatters enter an apartment complex, they begin scouting other properties for their network to occupy. He explained: 'They are surveying homes, I've been following them… they get into one, then watch the others on the development to identify empty properties, then pass that info on… 'Then they go with the locksmith, change the locks, then sell the keys and move onto another one.' Paul said it is more difficult to evict squatters in inland areas because the courts are more backlogged. He added: 'The squatter issue is progressively getting worse, especially since Covid. 'There are multiple reasons why, one of them is that the rents are too high for more people, and the government has not done a good job of organising social housing. 'Finally, the court system doesn't deal with bad tenants well enough, meaning the risk factor for landlords renting long term is very, very high. This means they either put them on Airbnb instead, depleting demand, or up the rent to account for the risk.'
