Sean “Diddy” Combs has been hit with a new lawsuit accusing him of human trafficking, and the plaintiff says that several celebrities saw him after the alleged assault.
Joseph Manzaro, a Florida native, says he was sexually assaulted by Diddy at one of his “freak-offs” in April 2015. The “freak-off” was reportedly part of a birthday celebration for Diddy’s son, Christian Combs.
He claims several celebrities, including JAY-Z, Beyoncé, LeBron James, and Gloria Estefan, saw him all night.
Manzaro says he was drugged and woke up on Star Island, Miami. He then says he was dragged to the back door of Emilio and Gloria Estefan’s mega-mansion and that he saw him and allegedly wanted to call for an ambulance but that Emilio allegedly shut that down real quickly. Both returned to the party.
He says that LeBron saw him and, instead of helping him, simply told him, “You’ all better do something about that.”
Manzaro claims he was led through a secret tunnel in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ home by accuser Adria English, where he allegedly encountered Beyoncé and JAY-Z.
Manzaro says English appeared shocked, allegedly asking, “Why is this half-naked white man with a mask standing here?” A member of Diddy’s entourage reportedly responded, “Diddy wants him to see what we do to snitches.”
He claims he was “forcibly paraded,” stripped, and forced to wear a thong and a black leather mask with a locking device attached while being subjected to non-consensual, degrading acts by Diddy and English. He also claims celebrity jeweler Jacob Arabo appeared disturbed upon seeing him, allegedly asking, “Why is he staring at me with a device strapped to his face?”
Diddy’s legal team has denied the allegations.
“This complaint demonstrates the depraved lengths plaintiffs will travel to garner headlines in pursuit of a payday. No sane person reading this complaint could credit this story. Mr. Combs looks forward to having his day in court where these lies — and the perverse motives of those who told them — will be revealed.”
