Three months after Cassie sued Sean âDiddyâ Combs, accusing him of rape and abuse, the disgraced mogul has once again been accused of sexual assault. In a suit filed on Monday, which was first reported by TMZ, the videographer Rodney âLil Rodâ Jones accused Combs of sexually harassing, drugging, and threatening him between September 2022 and November 2023, per NBC.
Jones â who produced nine songs on Diddyâs 2023 album, Love â says that while working on the project, he lived and traveled with Diddy, who subjected him to repeated abuse. âThroughout his time living with Mr. Combs, Mr. Jones was the victim of constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping and touching of his anus by Mr. Combs,â Jonesâs filing claims. Jones alleges that in February 2023, he woke up naked, dizzy, and confused in bed with Combs and two sex workers, and believes that Combs had drugged him.
Jones also alleges that Diddy made him and his 30-year-old son, Justin Combs, procure sex workers for parties at Diddyâs various homes, and threatened to harm him if he did not comply. According to People, which reviewed the court filing, Jones claims to have recorded several hours of video and audio of Diddy and his staff âengaging in serious illegal activityâ during that time. Among the recordings, Jones says he has footage of âMr. Combs providing laced alcoholic beverages to minors and sex workers at his homes in California, New York, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Florida.â Jones is suing for $30 million.
Shawn Holley, an attorney for Diddy, categorically denied Jonesâs accusations. âLil 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,â she said in a statement to the Cut. âWe have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies.â She added: âWe will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.â
Jonesâs suit also names Diddyâs son Justin; the rapperâs chief-of-staff, Kristina Khorram; Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge; and former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam as defendants. In a statement to TMZ, a rep for Justin said, âJustin Combs categorically denies these absurd allegations. They are all lies! This is a clear example of a desperate person taking desperate measures in hopes of a payday. There will be legal consequences for all defamatory statements made about the Combs family.â
In November, Diddy reached a settlement with his ex-girlfriend Cassie, one day after she filed a federal lawsuit accusing him of rape and abuse. In her suit, Cassie said Diddy provided her with âcopious amounts of drugsâ and frequently became violent, beating her âmultiple times a year.â She accused him of forcing her to have sex with male sex workers while Combs masturbated, filmed, and took photos. Since then, three other women have accused Diddy of sexually assaulting them in the 1990s and early 2000s. He has denied all allegations, saying, âLet me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth.â
