Music producer recently accused Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of sexual harassment – Chicago Tribune

NEW YORK – Sean “Diddy” Combs was sued Monday by a music producer who accused the hip-hop mogul of sexually assaulting him and forcing him to have sex with prostitutes.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in New York, accuses Combs of repeated unwanted groping and sexual touching. It is also stated that the man had to work in the bathroom while Combs showered and walked around naked.

An attorney for Combs called the events described in the lawsuit “pure fiction.”

“We have overwhelming and indisputable evidence that his allegations are completely false,” Combs’ attorney, Shawn Holley, said. “We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all necessary action against those who made them,” he added.

Tyrone Blackburn, the attorney who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the producer, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they agree to be identified or decide to make their stories public.

In the lawsuit, the producer alleges that Combs lured him to prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them. He also described a time when the producer woke up in bed with two sex workers, suspecting he had been drugged.

The legal claim is one of several sexual assault lawsuits filed against Combs in recent months, including R&B singer Cassie’s case that was settled last year. Another of Combs’ accusers was a woman who said the rap producer raped her 20 years ago when she was 17.

Combs denied the allegations. He said in December that the “sickening” allegations were made by people “looking for a quick payday”.

“Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the terrible things alleged. “I will fight for my name, my family and the truth,” he said.
