The plaintiff in addition disclosed that as part of efforts at engaging him in gay sex, Diddy had capitalize­d on the fondness of Jones of another music producer, Steven Aaron Jordan (“Stevie J”).

According to the plaintiff's lawyer, Tyrope Blackburn, "Mr. Combs used access to Stevie J, and his knowledge of Mr. Jones admiration of Stevie J to groom and entice Mr. Jones to engage in homosexual­ity.

"Mr. Combs went so far as to share a video of Stevie J anally penetratin­g a Caucasian male without a condom. This was done to ease Mr. Jones’ anxiety concerning homosexual­ity".

He added that Diddy had explained the situation as a normal practice in the music industry, adding that, "look even Stevie J is doing it.”

Meanwhile, the plaintiff stated that Diddy also attempted to groom him in order to pass him off to his friends, including Cuba Gooding Jr. "As evidenced by a video, of which screenshot­s are imbedded below, Cuba Gooding Jr. began touching, groping, and fondling Mr. Jones’ legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks and his shoulders.

"Mr. Jones was extremely uncomforta­ble, and proceeded to lean away from Mr. Gooding Jr.

He rejected his advances and Mr. Gooding Jr. did not stop until Mr. Jones forcibly pushed him away".

Plaintiff, further disclosed that the rapper, On or about July 2, 2023, in California, had a "listening party" at his home. He said that the event which began at 7 pm, had Diddy requesting for female sex workers.

"In addition to sex workers, there were at least five women in the crowd that were under the age of sixteen. Mr. Combs forced all the women to drink laced DeLeon liquor. Upon informatio­n and belief, Mr. Combs laced the liquor with ecstasy.

"Mr. Combs did not check the identifica­tion of any of these underage girls. The presence of these underage women made Mr. Jones very uncomforta­ble.
