Producer Accuses Diddy of Sexual Assault in New Lawsuit
In a lawsuit filed earlier today in federal court, a producer and videographer named Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones is accusing Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual harassment. Lil Rod was a producer on Diddy’s last album, and claims he lived and worked with the billionaire from September 2022 to November 2023.
In that time, the producer claims to have recorded hours of video of Diddy, his staff and others “engaging in serious illegal activity.” He accuses Diddy of forcing him to procure and engage in sexual acts with sex workers, and would have his son, Justin Combs, recruit underage girls for his parties. He also claims Diddy routinely laced alcoholic beverages at his homes, and accuses Diddy of drugging him in February 2023.
The producer says Diddy made him watch a video of Stevie J (former Bad Boy producer and reality TV star) having sex with a man. The lawsuit apparently includes a screenshot of said video. He also claims Yung Miami’s cousin sexually assaulted him (by trying to have sex with him in front of Diddy and his staff).
The producer claims Diddy introduced him to Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr., who he accuses of groping him.
Lil Rod’s lawsuit accuses Diddy of “constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping and touching of his anus.” The producer also claims he was forced to work in Diddy’s bathroom as he showered naked in a glass enclosure. When he raised the issue to Diddy’s chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, she is said to have brushed it off as “friendly horseplay.”
The suit also names Khorram as a defendant, and accuses her of trying to groom Lil Rod into “accepting a homosexual relationship.” Other named defendants include Diddy’s oldest son, Justin Combs; Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge; and former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam.
Both Diddy and Justin Combs have since denied the allegations through their reps.
Lil Rod is seeking $30 million in damages.
