In a pretty surprising turn of events, P. Diddy, has been hit with a new lawsuit by a former male employee alleging sexual assault, and he’s reportedly seeking a minimum of $30 million. Rodney Jones, who used to work as a producer and videographer for Diddy, filed the lawsuit, claiming repeated instances of sexual assault by Diddy and unwanted advances by Diddy’s associates, all at his direction.
Producer’s Claims Involve Diddy, Son, Stevie J, Cuba Gooding Jr, And More
In a new report, via TMZ, Jones alleges that Diddy would grope his genitals, touch his rear end, and even parade around naked in front of him. He believes that Diddy was trying to groom him into having sex and would dismiss these alleged assaults as mere “horseplay.” Jones also claims that Diddy forced him to watch a video featuring Stevie J engaging in sexual activity with another man.
But the allegations don’t end there. Jones accuses a female cousin of Diddy’s girlfriend, Yung Miami, of sexually assaulting him, attempting to have sex with him in the presence of Diddy and his staff. He further asserts that Diddy brought prostitutes to his Miami home and that he was drugged and possibly raped on one occasion.
The lawsuit also implicates Diddy in intentionally serving women bottles of his tequila and vodka brands laced with drugs at parties. Disturbingly, Jones claims that Diddy directed Stevie J and his son, Justin Combs, to recruit prostitutes, including underage girls, for these gatherings.
According to Jones, Diddy introduced him to Cuba Gooding Jr. on Diddy’s yacht, where Cuba allegedly made unwelcome advances, touching and groping him inappropriately. In another shocking revelation, Jones details a shooting incident where Diddy and Justin got into a heated argument at an L.A. recording studio, resulting in someone being shot.
Diddy Responds Via Attorney
Diddy’s attorney, Shawn Holley, vehemently denies these allegations and dismisses Jones as a “liar”:
“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines,” says attorney Shawn Holley.
She continued, “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 action against those who make them.”
These are serious accusations As the legal battle unfolds, we will keep y’all posted on this.
