UPDATE: A Largo man has just filed a lawsuit against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, accusing the now incarcerated music mogul of sexual battery in incidents dating back to 2002 and 2005. Jonathan Hay claims he was sexually assaulted by Combs, who is currently serving 50 months in federal prison for unrelated charges.
Hay’s allegations come as he recounts disturbing encounters that left him feeling drugged and violated. “I was stonewalled. Nobody listened,” Hay stated, expressing frustration over the lack of action from authorities at the time. He described Combs as “untouchable,” which contributed to his silence for years.
In a shocking revelation from 2020, Hay alleges that while producing a project related to Notorious B.I.G., Combs coerced him into wearing clothing belonging to the late rapper, then engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior in front of him. This led to Hay speaking out to C.J. Wallace, B.I.G.’s son, in 2021, after which the project was promptly canceled.
The lawsuit takes a darker turn as Hay recounts an incident where he claims Wallace and another associate, Willie Mack, forcibly brought him to Combs. There, he alleges that Combs made sexual demands. “The ultimate betrayal, the ultimate violation as a man for another man to do that to me,” Hay said, expressing the profound emotional toll the experience has taken, including severe depression and suicidal thoughts.
Combs’ attorney quickly responded to the allegations, labeling them as “absurd and baseless,” asserting that the lawsuit lacks merit and will ultimately be dismissed. They criticized the media for not thoroughly vetting Hay’s claims, which they argue are inconsistent.
As the Largo Police Department investigates, Hay is pursuing both civil and criminal action against Combs, hoping to inspire other victims to come forward. “Anybody who doesn’t believe me believes Sean Combs and C.J. Wallace. But people should believe me because I’m a victim,” Hay emphasized.
This urgent case is developing, and as more details emerge, it is clear that the implications of these allegations could resonate widely within the entertainment industry.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story unfolds.
