Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was sued by a producer who worked on his most recent album, with accusations of sexual assault and harassment.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in New York on Monday (February 26) and accuses Combs of forcing him to have sex with prostitutes, in addition to claiming that the hip-hop mogul drugged and threatened him for more than a year.
The producer, called Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jonessays in the lawsuit that he lived and traveled with Combs from September 2022 to November 2023, and produced nine songs on Combs’ recent album, “The Love Album: Off The Grid”.
Among the claims is that Combs forced him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to perform sexual acts with them. He also claimed that Combs gave mixed alcoholic beverages to people at his home.
The lawsuit includes claims of screenshots of gatherings at Combs’ homes where underage girls and sex workers were present, some of whom he said received mixed drinks. Jones also says in the lawsuit that in February 2023 he woke up in bed with two sex workers and suspected they had drugged him.
The former employee added that he was asked to work in Combs’ bathroom when the artist “walked around naked and showered in a clear glass partition.” Jones seeks $30 million
What Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Lawyers Said About Sexual Harassment and Assault Lawsuit
An attorney for Combs said Jones’ “reckless name-dropping of events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to grab headlines.”
“We have overwhelming and indisputable evidence that his claims are complete lies. “Our attempts to share this evidence with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls,” attorney Shawn Holley said in a statement. “We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those making them.”
Jones’ attorney, Tyrone A. Blackburn, told Peoprel magazine: “Litigation should never be the first option for a dispute. “We filed the lawsuit for the refusal to negotiate with the other party.”
The claim is the latest in a series of sexual assault lawsuits filed against Combs in recent months.
