Sean “Diddy” Combs has been named in a different civil lawsuit, this time by a woman alleging that his son Christian “King” Combs sexually assaulted her aboard a superyacht the Lousy Boy Leisure co-founder charted in late 2022.
But the Combs workforce dismissed it as “just a different lewd and meritless claim” by her legal professional, Tyrone Blackburn, that is “filled with the similar type of manufactured lies and irrelevant facts” that they’ve appear to count on from the New York-based law firm.
In the lawsuit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Exceptional Court, Grace O’Marcaigh included her title to the checklist of individuals accusing the embattled small business mogul of alleged wrongdoing whilst he faces a federal probe into sexual intercourse-trafficking allegations. O’Marcaigh, who labored as a steward on the Victorious ship, alleged that the 26-year-outdated rapper Christian Combs drugged and sexually assaulted her in late December 2022 aboard the boat constitution, which Diddy “sold as a wholesome loved ones excursion” that devolved into a “hedonistic surroundings.”
O’Marcaigh, who was 25 all over the time of the alleged incident, presented meal and consume assistance on the yacht from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. The bartender also explained she witnessed partying and drug use between a “constant rotation of suspected sexual intercourse employees and other A-List celebrities, in accordance to the submitting reviewed Friday by The Periods.
O’Marcaigh is accusing Christian Combs, 1 of Diddy’s kids with the late design Kim Porter, of sexual assault, sexual harassment and infliction of emotional distress in the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages and a jury demo. Diddy, 54, who is named as a co-defendant , is staying sued for premises liability as the man or woman who leased the yacht and “had total control of the workers and premises” and for aiding and abetting his son in the alleged assault. O’Marcaigh accused him of orchestrating a “subsequent coverup” of her alleged assault that eventually resulted in her termination in Might 2023.
She claimed that Diddy allowed for “unwanted publicity to illegal drug use, sex get the job done, and typical chaos,” adding that the mogul “created an really harmful environment” in which personnel was frequently “treated with disrespect, suspected intercourse workers have been sprawled out unconscious about the yacht, and it was tough to distinguish which bottles of alcoholic beverages were being laced with medication and which bottles had been not.” She explained girls aboard the yacht “falling around themselves, panicking, or passing out” immediately after just one shot of tequila or one mixed drink that she considered was “likely laced with medicine.”
The grievance was filed by attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn, the lawyer who is also representing Diddy’s previous “Love” album producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones in a bombshell sexual harassment and assault case brought from the Grammy Award winner, his son Justin “Dior” Combs, Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. and other users of Diddy’s inner circle. (O’Marcaigh, in her criticism, described Jones as “an prolonged member of the service staff” who put in time with her at the support bar and piano place on the yacht.)
She also made quite a few other allegations about illicit habits by Diddy and Gooding, whom she claimed she witnessed “inappropriately touching” Jones, as was alleged in Jones’ lawsuit.
“Like father, like son,” Blackburn claimed in a statement to NBC News, which very first claimed on the new lawsuit. “It presents us no joy or pleasure in filing this fit towards Christian Combs who has obviously adopted his father’s pattern and apply of depravity.”
Blackburn and fellow submitting lawyer Rodney S. Diggs did not answer Friday to The Times’ requests for remark.
“This is just a different lewd and meritless assert from Tyrone Blackburn — just like what he filed in the Rodney Jones lawsuit, which he continue to has not served,” reported attorney Aaron Dyer, who represents each Sean and Christian Combs.
“This criticism is loaded with the identical type of manufactured lies and irrelevant specifics we’ve occur to hope from Blackburn. This is particularly why the federal choose in New York slapped him two times in the past for a ‘pattern of behavior’ in ‘improperly [filing] scenarios in federal court to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, and tension defendants to settle promptly,’ and why he was referred to the disciplinary committee in the Southern District of New York. We will be submitting a motion to dismiss this outrageous assert.”
In the previous, Diddy has denied wrongdoing and vowed to struggle the lawsuits. 4 women of all ages, which include his ex Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, have sued him since very last November alleging sexual assault.
O’Marcaigh, who is described in court files as “a European Caucasian feminine who worked as a Stewardess in the Yachting Business because 2018,” claimed she prepared to do the job the entirety of her profession in hospitality and the yachting marketplace, but, as mentioned in her grievance, “those designs have been derailed because of to the trauma [she] carries on to have as a final result of the assault.”
On or all over Dec. 28, 2022 — days ahead of Diddy hosted a star-studded New Year’s Eve get together aboard the ship — O’Marcaigh reported that she worked the late shift on the yacht when Christian Combs, who typically stayed at a close by villa on shore, came aboard “heavily intoxicated” from what O’Marcaigh thought was “a mixture of narcotics and alcohol.”
When she was serving beverages in the studio where Jones also was present that night time, Christian was getting “particularly attentive with her, which she regarded pretty inappropriate.” Christian then insisted that O’Marcaigh choose a shot of tequila, which she believed he had spiked. She mentioned that she “felt comfy understanding that Mr. Jones was present and “didn’t feel anything far more of it,” and thought she could return to the pantry after the drink. But when she took the shot, she claimed the “mood changed” and points “became sinister.”
O’Marcaigh described Christian violently grabbing her arm and hurting her as he insisted that she choose one more shot. Just after that, “the condition escalated” and she described remaining physically assaulted by Christian, whom she alleged touched her legs, breasts, anus and vagina, and who also experimented with to kiss her on the neck, confront and fingers.
She mentioned the timeline turned “very blurry and vague.”
But due to the fact O’Marcaigh stated Diddy insisted on “Mr. Jones recording every thing,” Lil Rod received an audio recording of the alleged incident in which O’Marcaigh thinks Christian drugged and assaulted her. The recording was submitted as an show in O’Marcaigh’s circumstance.
In a transcript of the recording provided in the criticism to explain the alleged incident, O’Marcaigh tries to leave but Christian does not enable her. She tells him not to touch her legs or backside.
Right after she left , the complaint stated, Christian later on discovered her and “demanded that she find him a place to slumber on the yacht” and he refused to go again to shore.
O’Marcaigh went with him to the cinema, which was generally used as an additional sleeping place, and he allegedly blocked her from exiting. She described Christian finding “physical and particularly intense,” cornering her and allegedly groping her regardless of her pushing back again. He allegedly removed his clothing, exposed his erect penis and physically attempted to pressure her to perform oral sex on him. She commenced combating him, and then a person of her colleagues entered the cinema, startling Christian and O’Marcaigh was equipped to go away.
She mentioned she was “seriously bruised as a consequence of the attack,” that she did not consent to any of the sexual assault or misconduct, and that she was drugged and intoxicated by Christian. Visuals of her bruising were being also provided in the criticism.
O’Marcaigh mentioned she complained to the yacht captain the future early morning but alleged that he “berated [her and] lacked compassion or concern, failed to examine, and insisted that [she] was most likely voluntarily partying with the company.” (She reported she was not.)
After the incident, O’Marcaigh stated that she was assigned to work in the front of the home, which essential her to personally serve Christian Combs though he was aboard the yacht. She also alleged that the captain “received a generous tip” from Diddy to keep him “quiet and from shielding [O’Marcaigh] or taking action on her behalf.”
She alleged that Diddy “fostered and inspired an atmosphere of debauchery” and “did not have any safeguards in put to make certain there was no too much drug use, no excessive consuming, and no importation of purported sex employees.”
“He deliberately created an unsafe ecosystem that gave license to [Christian Combs] and his good friends to feel that he was totally free to sexually assault [O’Marcaigh]” and allowed him and his good friends “to behave carelessly, as they observed and mimicked his actions.”
O’Marcaigh said that the alleged assault deeply impacted her mental health and fitness, as well as her qualified and private daily life. She alleged that as a outcome of the alleged assault, her mental health deteriorated, she seasoned stress and anxiety and panic attacks and experienced serious suicidal ideations, the lawsuit said. She claimed the psychological strain also impacted her bodily wellbeing and she developed an taking in dysfunction and epileptic seizures pursuing the incident.
