Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, is facing multiple allegations of sexual assault, with music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones being the latest to file a lawsuit against him, accusing him of unwanted groping and coerced sexual encounters with sex workers during their collaboration on Combs’ recent album. This marks the fifth lawsuit alleging sexual assault against Combs.
In response to the lawsuit filed in a New York court, Combs’ lawyer dismissed the claims as “pure fiction.” Combs previously faced a lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, in November, where she accused him of rape and enduring years of sexual and physical abuse. They settled the case privately.
The ongoing legal battle is the fifth of its kind against Combs. Additional accusers have come forward, alleging drugging, sexual assault, and rape, with one claiming Combs showed a video of the assault to others. Another woman accused Combs and another man of assaulting her and her friend in the early 1990s.
Combs vehemently denied all accusations; he stated in December that he did not commit any of the alleged acts and asserted his determination to defend his reputation, family, and the truth.
