Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently facing a new legal challenge from producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who alleges sexual harassment, drugging, and threats over a period exceeding a year. Jones, as per court documents obtained by NBC News on February 26, claims to have lived and traveled with Diddy from September 2022 to November 2023, during which he recorded evidence of illegal activities.

Jones accuses Diddy of sexual harassment and assault while residing with him in various locations, including homes in Florida, Los Angeles, and New York, as well as on a rented yacht in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Filed in the U.S District Court for the Southern District of New York, Jones seeks $30 million in damages.

Diddy’s attorney, Shawn Holley, strongly denies the accusations, branding Jones a “liar” seeking an undeserved payday. Holley asserts they possess overwhelming proof refuting Jones’ claims and pledges to address the allegations in court.

This isn’t the first time Diddy has faced sexual assault accusations. In November 2023, Cassie settled a lawsuit against Diddy. Subsequently, two other women, Liza Gardner and Joie Dickerson-Neal, filed lawsuits accusing Diddy of sexual assault. Another woman identified as Jane Doe alleged in court documents that Diddy and two others gang-raped her when she was 17; these cases are still pending.

Diddy vehemently denies all allegations, expressing in a previous statement that he will fight to protect his name, family, and truth against what he deems as sickening and false claims.
