TMZ reports that Jones believes Diddy was trying to “groom him into having sex” despite the music mogul seeming to downplay his advances as “horseplay.“
Jones has also alleged that Diddy’s “grooming” of him involved coercing him to watch a video of Stevie J having sex with another man. TMZ reports that Jones’ lawsuit includes a screenshot from the alleged video.
However, Jones’ allegations reportedly don’t end there.
The man says that a female cousin of Yung Miami’s also sexually assaulted him. The woman allegedly tried to have sex with him in front of Diddy and “members of his staff.“
Furthermore, Rodney Jones also alleges that Diddy brought prostitutes to his home. Jones claims that he was “drugged” and “possibly raped” on an occasion while he attended Diddy’s party.
The person also accuses Diddy of serving alcohol-laced drinks at his parties to women, as well as probing underage girls with alcohol. Furthermore, Jones alleges that Diddy directed his son, Justin Combs, and Stevie J to “recruit prostitutes” and underage girls to attend these parties.
Lastly, Jones adds that Diddy introduced him to Cuba Gooding Jr. On the occasion, Jones claims that the actor was “touching, groping, and fondling Mr. Jones’s legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks and his shoulders.”
Diddy’s Lawyer Speaks Out Amid The Recent Allegations
According to TMZ, Jones is suing Diddy, his son Justin, and “other employees as well as various record execs.” He is reportedly seeking at least $30 million in damages. Diddy’s attorney, Shawn Holley, has since shared a statement regarding Jones’ recent allegations with the outlet is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. Holley said that Jones’ reckless name-dropping of events that are pure fiction and did not occur is nothing but a transparent effort to gain headlines. “We have overwhelming and indisputable evidence that his claims are lies. Tyrone Blackburn has refused to answer our calls, even though we have tried to show him this proof. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
At this time, we should note that a producer by the name of Lil Rod, who appears to have worked with Diddy on his recent album, ‘The Love Album: Off The Grid,‘ has shared his grievances with the music mogul on Instagram. The Shade Room is unable to confirm whether this is the man who filed the lawsuit against Diddy. However, a GoFundMe campaign has been created by the producer, whose campaign is listed as Rodney Jones.
Additionally, the campaign is titled “Help Me Sue Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.”The campaign’s description alleges that the man is “fighting” for “producer’s rates (money), publishing shares, and royalties” owed from his work on the album.
“For the better part of the past 6 months, my team and I have extended every opportunity we knew possible to have these matters addressed and resolved (fairly) but in private. However, Diddy’s negotiation tactics, to stall communications, dry out (my) funds, and have me negotiating out of desperation or without a real means of fighting back has forced me here!” the campaign’s description reads in part.
Furthermore, the GoFundMe campaign has a goal of $50,000, with over $1,400 raised thus far.
