Sean ‘Diddy' Combs and son Justin accused of orchestrating gang rape in new lawsuit

NOTE: The following article contains disturbing details and video footage. Please read at your own discretion. Sean 'Diddy' Combs' son, Justin Combs, has been accused of luring a woman from Louisiana to Los Angeles, where she was allegedly gang raped by his father and two other 'masked men,' according to a new lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on June 23, claims Justin, 31, used his father's celebrity status to lure the woman, identified as 'Jane Doe,' to Los Angeles with the promise of a job in TV in 2017. The woman claims she was instead 'held prisoner for a weekend' in a Beverly Hills home, given drugs and alcohol and raped. According to the lawsuit, viewed by NBC News, the woman allegedly connected with Justin in 2017 on Snapchat and sent 'risqué photos at Justin's request.' Story continues below advertisement That same day, the woman claims, Justin invited her to California for a weekend to discuss her future career in the entertainment industry. Justin allegedly told her 'he would get her a position with Remote TV in Atlanta through his and his father's connections.' She was living in New Orleans at the time. When she arrived in Los Angeles on April 14, 2017, she said she was picked up by a driver and taken to a home Justin called 'The Glass House,' where she allegedly stayed the first night with Justin. According to court documents, the woman claimed she and Justin 'relaxed' and 'talked,' and when she asked if they were going to leave the Beverly Hills home, he told her 'no.' The woman claimed that Justin offered her alcohol, pills or 'poppers,' which, according to Health Canada, is a slang term for products that contain alkyl nitrites, and marijuana that she alleged was laced. Story continues below advertisement After taking the drugs, the woman claimed that three men arrived at the home wearing 'masquerade masks,' and said that one of the men was allegedly Combs, Justin's famous father.

Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy She said she knew it was the rapper by his 'mannerisms' and noted that Justin referred to him as 'Pops.' The woman claimed she was escorted to a bedroom and told, 'You better let this happen. Or else.' 'The brutal gang-rape of Plaintiff continued from Saturday evening through at least midday Sunday, with the three men continuing to take their turns abusing Plaintiff,' the lawsuit said. The woman said she was taken to the airport on the Monday following the alleged assault. Combs' lawyers have denied the allegations in a statement, saying, 'No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won't change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.' 'We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court,' his legal team added. The suit filed against Combs, his son Justin, Combs Enterprises LLC and Bad Boy Entertainment claims sexual assault and battery, gender violence and negligent supervision. The lawsuit is asking for a jury trial and the payment of damages, including for 'future and past lost earnings.' Story continues below advertisement The new lawsuit comes as Combs' more than six-week-long sex trafficking and racketeering trial is coming to a close. Since Combs' arrest at a Manhattan hotel last September, the rapper and his lawyers have insisted he is innocent, though they conceded at trial that domestic violence occurred. Prosecutors have called 34 witnesses to try to prove sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges that resulted in his September arrest, including two of his ex-girlfriends, who testified they felt coerced into marathon sex events with male sex workers that were called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights.' Since the trial began in early May, government witnesses have included former employees of Combs' companies, but the bulk of its proof has come from the testimony of former girlfriends: Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura and a model and internet personality known to jurors only by the pseudonym 'Jane.' Story continues below advertisement Ventura, 38, testified for four days during the trial's first week, saying she felt pressured to engage in hundreds of 'freak-offs' because the encounters would enable her to be intimate with her boyfriend after she performed sexual acts with male sex workers while he watched them slather one another with baby oil and sometimes filmed the encounters. Defence lawyers say they were consensual sexual encounters consistent with the swingers lifestyle. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty and has remained incarcerated without bail in a federal lockup in Brooklyn after multiple judges concluded last fall that he was a danger to the community. — With files from The Associated Press

Ontario country singer Josh Ross apologizes, but stands ground, after calling U.S. ‘the best' country

Josh Ross poses for photos after winning Country Album of the Year during the Juno Awards in Vancouver, B.C., Sunday, March 30, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck Canadian country singer Josh Ross is apologizing after he drew jeers on social media for carrying a U.S. flag onstage at a music festival and calling the country the 'best' in the world. Ross posted a statement to TikTok on Monday afternoon saying he's 'sorry to anybody who's offended' by his comments, adding that he felt the video gaining attention was taken out of context. The Burlington, Ont., native faced scrutiny after footage posted on social media showed a brief clip of his set at the Tailgate N' Tallboys festival on June 13 in Bloomington, Ind., just weeks before he's set to perform Ottawa's Canada Day celebrations. In the video, Ross, who lives in Nashville, takes a moment to address his citizenship. 'Fun fact, real quick. I'm Canadian,' he says, gripping a flagpole in his hand. 'You want to know the best fun fact is I moved to the best ... country in the world and I love it very much.' Another video posted on Instagram showed the crowd chanting 'U.S.A! U.S.A!' and passing the flag to Ross. His comments drew criticism from some online commenters who said the pro-American stance ran against the 'Elbows Up' movement and the ongoing political conflict with U.S. president Donald Trump. 'I feel like I'm always representing Canada no matter where I go,' Ross said in his response, which was recorded from his vehicle in Nashville. 'Born and raised in Canada, but I've been living in Nashville for the last five plus years. Half my family lives in Canada, the other half is here in the U.S., and I'm as proud of establishing myself in the U.S. as I am being Canadian.' 'Both sides were not communicated in the clip that you guys are seeing and I'm sorry that that wasn't clear,' he added. The singer, who recently released 'Drunk Right Now (Na Na Na)' with Akon, is booked as one of the performers at Heritage Canada's Canada Day event in Ottawa. Organizers did not respond to requests for comment. Earlier this year at the Juno Awards, Ross seemed to take a political middle ground that was out of step with many of his fellow Canadians at the overtly patriotic show. While accepting the Juno win for country album of the year in March, he said he was proud of being Canadian, but suggested it was on his fellow citizens to find common ground with the U.S. 'I think it's time to get back to our Canadian roots and remember that friends are better than enemies,' he said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 23, 2025.
