A new lawsuit was filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs on Monday alleging that he terrorized one of his music producers on his latest record over the course of more than a year. The federal suit claims that, as the pair worked on 2023’s Grammy-nominated The Love Album: Off the Grid, Combs groped, harassed, and threatened the producer, pushed him to consume drugs and “consort with” sex workers, and refused to compensate him properly when the album was finished.
The lawsuit is the sixth such action filed against Combs, 54, in recent months, and the first to name a male plaintiff. The producer, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, claims that his life “has been detrimentally impacted ever since” 2022, when he agreed to help Combs cut his new record.
Between September 2022 and November 2023, Jones was allegedly subjected to “constant” sexual harassment by Combs, who would walk around naked in front of Jones and touch his anus and genitals. When Jones, “a heterosexual Christian man,” complained to Combs’ chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, she allegedly responded, “You know, Sean will be Sean.”
