A Los Angeles judge has cleared the way for another bombshell sexual assault lawsuit against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to move forward.
The court rejected efforts to shut down claims that the imprisoned music mogul assaulted a fellow music producer.
The ruling allows allegations to proceed that Combs beat plaintiff Jonathan Hay before forcing his penis into the man’s mouth during a 2020 studio session, according to court filings.
In an interview with The New York Post, Hay described the decision as a “big week” in an otherwise ugly chapter of his life.
Hay alleges Combs supplied him with drugs, including ketamine, during studio sessions before subjecting him to a humiliating and non-consensual sexual encounter involving the music mogul and a T-shirt once owned by the late rapper Biggie Smalls.
After the alleged assault, Combs is accused of saying, “Rest in peace, BIG,” before throwing the shirt onto Hay.
The suit cites the estate of The Notorious B.I.G. and his son, Christopher ‘CJ’ Wallace as co-accused.
Hay alleges that they were aware of Combs’ disturbing behaviour, and that Wallace helped lure him into a trap.
Los Angeles authorities opened a criminal investigation into the alleged incident last year.
Hay told The Post that he had been “very excited” to work on a project involving the late Notorious B.I.G., who was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles in 1997.
“Obviously, I’m a huge fan. That’s the reason why we did this project to begin with,” Hay said. “And it was an honour to work with the estate.
“And then Sean Combs comes along and makes it dark.”
