URGENT UPDATE: A Largo man has filed a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, accusing the imprisoned entertainer of sexual battery in a shocking revelation that could have widespread implications. This lawsuit, filed by Jonathan Hay, outlines disturbing allegations stemming from incidents in 2002 and 2005.
Hay claims he was sexually assaulted by Combs, stating he felt as though he may have been drugged during the encounters. “I was stonewalled. Nobody listened,” Hay said, expressing frustration over his past attempts to report the incidents. He believes that at the time, Combs was perceived as “untouchable.”
The allegations become more alarming with Hay’s account of a 2020 incident while working on a project related to the late Notorious B.I.G. Hay alleges that Combs instructed him to wear clothing belonging to B.I.G. and subsequently engaged in explicit behavior in front of him. This led to Hay discussing the incidents with C.J. Wallace, B.I.G.’s son, who later cancelled the project.
In a harrowing turn of events described in the lawsuit, Hay alleges that Wallace and another associate, Willie Mack, forcibly took him to meet Combs at an undisclosed location where he claims he was coerced into performing oral sex. “Diddy just doesn’t show up at the location to violate me…without there being some kind of correspondence between the other perpetrators that attacked me,” Hay stated, emphasizing the emotional toll it has taken on him.
Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence in federal prison for unrelated convictions. Hay is pursuing both civil and criminal charges against Combs, hoping to inspire other victims to step forward. “I’m coming out telling the truth,” he asserted, urging people to believe his claims.
In response to these allegations, an attorney representing Wallace categorically dismissed Hay’s claims as “absurd and baseless,” asserting that the lawsuit is frivolous and suggesting it will be dismissed. They criticized the media for not thoroughly vetting Hay’s changing allegations.
Local law enforcement, the Largo Police Department, is reportedly involved in the investigation. News Channel 8 has reached out for confirmation but is awaiting a response.
The gravity of these allegations is heightened by the ongoing societal conversations surrounding accountability and justice for sexual assault victims. This developing story continues to attract attention as more details emerge.
