Former employee accuses Combs of sexual assault and coercion.
Lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York seeking $30 million.
Jones claims Combs engaged in illegal activities and misconduct.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is embroiled in yet another legal battle as a former male employee, producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones, filed a fifth sexual assault lawsuit against the mogul. The suit, filed in the Southern District of New York, alleges that Combs made unwanted sexual advances towards Jones and coerced him into hiring sex workers and engaging in relations with them.
In the lawsuit seeking $30 million in damages, Jones accuses Combs of various illicit activities, including acquiring, using, and distributing drugs, displaying illegal firearms, and lacing alcoholic beverages provided to minors and sex workers at his residences. The suit also implicates several other parties, including Combs' son Justin, his chief of staff, and executives from record labels.
Jones claims to have lived with Combs at multiple locations and recorded evidence of illegal activities. He alleges being subjected to constant unwanted advances and harassment, including being groped and touched inappropriately. Jones also accuses Combs of drugging him and grooming him for sexual activities.
The lawsuit further details incidents involving other celebrities, such as musician Stevie J and actor Cuba Gooding Jr., where Jones claims he was exposed to inappropriate behavior. Combs' lawyer has vehemently denied the allegations, calling Jones a liar seeking financial gain.
Combs has been facing a series of legal challenges related to sexual assault since his former girlfriend filed a lawsuit against him. Despite the mounting accusations, Combs has maintained his innocence, stating that the claims against him are false.
As the legal battle unfolds, both parties are gearing up for a contentious court battle to address the serious allegations made by Jones against Combs and other individuals named in the lawsuit.
