Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs faces lawsuit over alleged sexual harassment, assault

A male former employee has accused American rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of sexual assault, alleging that the rapper groped his genitals and touched his anus.

In a recent $30 million lawsuit, Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, a former producer and videographer for the entertainer, alleged multiple instances of sexual assault by Diddy. Jones also asserted that he faced unwarranted advances from associates of Diddy, acting upon the rapper’s instructions.

The ex-producer claimed Diddy of inappropriate touching, including groping his genitals and touching his anus. Jones further alleged that the rapper exposed himself naked in his presence and compelled him to watch a private video featuring Stevie J engaging in intimate activities with another man.

Furthermore, Jones claimed that Diddy hired prostitutes who entered his Miami residence, asserting that on one specific occasion, the rapper allegedly drugged him, potentially leading to sexual assault.

He also alleged that a female cousin of Yung Miami, Diddy’s girlfriend, sexually assaulted him. Jones claimed she tried to engage in sexual activity with him in the presence of Diddy and other staff members.

While speaking to TMZ, Diddy’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, debunked all accusations by the former employee, labelling it as a cash grab.

She said, “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies.

“Our attempts to share this proof with Mr Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate actions against those who make them.”

Prior to this, Diddy faced a sexual assault accusation from his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, in November 2023. However, the $30 million lawsuit resulting from this accusation was swiftly settled out of court within a day of being filed.
