Who is Anna Kane? The ex-eife of NHL star Evander Kane who accused Sean Diddy of rape
Anna Kane, the ex-wife of Edmonton Oilers player Evander Kane, has publicly identified herself as one of the women accusing Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual assault. Filed under the pseudonym “Jane Doe” in December 2023, Kane’s lawsuit alleges she was drugged and gang-raped by Combs, his associate Harve Pierre, and an unnamed individual in 2008 when she was 17. “I had hoped to use a pseudonym in pursuing justice for what happened to me as a teenager,” Kane said in a statement to Us Weekly on 7 December. “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.”
