A male photographer alleges in a sexual battery lawsuit filed in New York that Sean “Diddy” Combs demanded fellatio in trade for skilled development.
‘If you suck [it] right, I’ll make your profession take off,” the at the moment incarcerated Bad Boy Records founder advised plaintiff John Doe in his trailer at a “high-profile commercial” shoot in late 2022, early 2023 in what’s characterised as a “blatant sexual quid-pro-quo.”
“Combs framed this meeting as an opportunity for (Doe) to advance his career,” the March 26 grievance in New York Supreme Court states of the encounter. John Doe “although hesitant, could not turn down what appeared to be a career-defining moment few ever receive,” the motion filed by Texas-based lawyer and frequent Diddy foe Tony Buzbee provides.
“The implication was clear, also, that if (Doe) did not perform oral sex on Combs to his satisfaction, his career would be over.”
Going nearly TMI, John Doe claims that after Diddy ejaculated in his mouth, he ordered the photographer/PA to hold “semen in his mouth like a squirrel.” Refusing the command, the plaintiffs says he went again to work “grappling not only with the trauma of the situation, but with the knowledge that he had Combs’ semen on and inside of his body.”
John Doe by no means met Combs once more and the previous’s pledge to help the latter’s profession by no means transpired.
The newest within the dozens and dozens of sexual assault and abuse fits in opposition to Combs since ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a rapidly settled rape case in November 2024, the SoCal native says he suffers ‘immeasurable emotional and psychological ache” from the alleged assault.
To that, he and Buzbee are in search of a wide range of unspecified damages and a jury trial.
The motion this weeks emerged because the ‘All About the Benjamins’ performer is scheduled to go on trial in federal courtroom on May 12 on claims of racketeering, intercourse trafficking and transportation to interact in prostitution. Combs was arrested on September 16, 2024 on the felony prices. Besides courtroom hearings, lawyer visits and the occasional name with Kanye West, the as soon as time mini mogul has been stewing in a cell at Brooklyn’s hardcore Metropolitan Detention Center the final seven months
Looking at life behind bars if discovered responsible, the 55-year-old Combs has denied the all prices within the unique and amended felony indictments, in addition to all the opposite civil instances too.
Which is precisely what occurred Thursday after the John Doe oral intercourse compliant was filed.
“No matter how many lawsuits are filed—especially by individuals who refuse to put their own names behind their claims—it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor,” Combs’ Marc Agnifilo- and Teny Geragos-led protection staff mentioned in a press release. “We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”
Fighting a probably renewed extortion case from Jay-Z and accusations of performing in jurisdictions wherein he has no standing, Buzbee took to social media Thursday to speak in regards to the new case and take some swipes at his detractors. “’I am proud to be spear heading these efforts to bring justice to those who formerly had no voice. It continues to be a team effort,’ the flamboyant lawyer went on to say. “’We look forward to presenting these cases in court in due course and at the appropriate time.”
Still, even with this, Combs has had some wins elsewhere of late.
On March 24, Judge J. Paul Oetken delivered a not insignificant blow to producer Lil Rod’s $30 million sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit in opposition to the Love Album performer. Allowing the intercourse trafficking claims and another to proceed, the decide sliced the RICO, breach of contract and infliction of emotional misery prices off the person born Rodney Jones Jr’s case in opposition to Combs.
Represented by Brooklyn-based lawyer Tyrone Blackburn. Jones’ initially February 2024 filed grievance elaborated alleged throughout the lengthy recording of theTop 20 debuting The Love Album: Off The Grid, Combs tried to “groom him into accepting a homosexual relationship …a normal practice in the music industry.”
Additionally, in her second Combs case ruling in the present day, US District Judge Jennifer Rochon rejected a Jane Doe movement to maintain her actual intently hidden. “Plaintiff shall file a complaint in her own name no later than April 10, 2025,” the federal decide wrote Thursday of the Buzbee represented girl who first filed her declare of a 1991 sexual assault by Diddy in December final yr. The identical NYC-based Judge Rochon got here to the identical conclusion for a John Doe who needed to remain nameless in his October 16, 2024 filed allegations that Diddy raped him in 1998. Like Jane Doe within the different case this additionally Buzbee represented John Doe has till April 10 to file a grievance “in his own name no later than April 10, 2025.”
Back on February 24, one other John Doe’s movement to reman nameless was denied by NYSC Judge Paul A. Goetz below the premise that that is “a civil and not a criminal proceeding.” On March 26, the plaintiff’s Rheingold Giuffra Ruffo Protkin & Hellman lawyer Jeremy A. Hellman filed a notion to reargue the movement.
Regardless of the end result of Combs’ felony trial, the defendant goes to be out and in of courtroom for years.
