January 14, 2004 -- A LEGGY former model says she was horribly raped by powerhouse rap mogul Damon Dash in a 15-second, forced-sex encounter on New Year's Day, 2003, a blockbuster $15 million new suit charges.
Kirstie Thompson's suit, filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan yesterday, claims that the hip-hop superstar sexually attacked her while she was in a booze-and- pill-induced stupor in a hotel room on an island off Brazil over a year ago.
Thompson, now a concierge for a top fashion house in Manhattan, said her nightmare began when she was on location in Brazil working for uber-model Naomi Campbell, and she and her best friend decided to island-hop to a posh New Year's Eve gig.
At the party, thrown by New York millionaire Mario Ganero and drawing such guests as the president of Brazil, Thompson said she was verbally sexually harassed by Dash.
"Damon came up to me and asked me - and literally, these were his words - 'Will you have sex with me?' " Thompson told The Post yesterday.
"He asked me that three times, and I said absolutely no.
"And he said, 'Everyone has sex with me.' "
"I'm 32 years of age," Thompson said, "and I'm not a virgin, but I'd never heard such a vulgar line in my life. What woman would be romanced by someone saying, 'Will you have sex with me?' and being denied three times and telling you he's had sex with everyone?"
Thompson claims that the attack occurred after she went back to the hotel room she and her friend shared on another island. She admits to having "eight glasses of champagne and a half tablet of 'ecstasy' " and falling asleep there.
She said the next thing she knew, her friend had brought Dash - a 32-year-old Harlem native who owns Rocawear clothing line and is partners in Roc-a-Fella Records - back to the room and told him, "She [Thompson] hasn't had much sex."
"The next second he's on top of me," Thompson told The Post.
"For 10-15 seconds at 8:30 in the morning, he was on top of me. I screamed out to my best friend, and nothing happened, and I certainly passed out."
After waking up again "at 1:30 p.m., examining myself, I knew something terrible had happened, I had been raped," she said. Thompson said she immediately filed a report with local authorities and went to the hospital.
But Dash's representative, Amanda Silverman, yesterday ripped the allegations as "baseless and untrue."
"These are ludicrous allegations," she said. "Damon hasn't been charged with anything."
Thompson has hired celebrity lawyer Raoul Felder, who has Jimmy Curran, an ex-cop-turned-lawyer with 37 NYPD commendations, handling the case.
The suit claims that Damon's actions were "outrageous and intentional and done with malice," noting that he "was aware [Thompson] would not consent to sexual intercourse."
Yesterday, Thompson added, "There's no possibility in a million years I'd ever go to bed with Damon Dash, I don't care what his success rate is."
Thompson said the idea that Dash may have been dating Campbell at the time of her alleged attack is even more repulsive.
"We had heard that Damon was going with Naomi. I don't know whether that is a fact or not," she said.
"But Damon came on pretty gross with me, particularly if he was with another woman."
