Meek Mill Trends As Fans Theorize He’s Named In Diddy Lawsuit

Meek Mill has found himself being dragged into the drama surrounding Diddy and the latest lawsuit against him. In a portion of the filing Rodney Jones submitted to accuse Diddy of sexual assault, he mentions the Bad Boy mogul forcing him to watch a video of Stevie J engaging in sex with another man. Additionally, Jones notes that Diddy attempted to coerce him into sex by mentioning other artists he’s slept with.

While the names are redacted, the footnotes describe the rapper as hailing from Philadelphia and having previously dated Nicki Minaj. They also say another singer performed at the Super Bowl and hosted a successful Las Vegas residency.

Both Diddy and Stevie J have denied the allegations stemming from the lawsuit. In a statement for TMZ, Diddy’s attorney, Shawn Holley, explained: “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines. We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”

Stevie J Responds To Being Named In Diddy’s Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Stevie J says the story about being filmed having sex with another man stemming from Rodney Jones’ new lawsuit against Diddy is false.

The former producer and videographer for Diddy sued him, earlier this week, claiming he repeatedly sexually assaulted him. He also mentioned Diddy getting naked in front of him and playing a video of Stevie J having sex with another man. Additionally, he noted Diddy having his son, Justin Combs, recruit prostitutes.

Jimmy Iovine’s Accuser Drops Sexual Assault Case To Settle Out Of Court

Jimmy Iovine’s accuser is dropping their sexual assault case against the former record executive after coming to an out-of-court resolution. The plaintiff’s attorney, Doug Wigdor, filed a discontinuance with prejudice to close the case back on February 15th, according to Rolling Stone. He explained during a statement: “The matter was resolved to the satisfaction of the parties.”

Details of the agreement were not made public; however, Jane Doe had been seeking an amount of relief “for, but not limited to, physical injury, economic and compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees and costs.” She filed the lawsuit back in November under the Adult Survivors Act (ASA) in New York. The bill, as explained by New York State Assemblymember Linda B. Rosenthal, “provides victims of sexual assault who were 18 years or older at the time of their abuse a one-year look-back period to file a lawsuit against their abuser and, if applicable, the institution that harbored them, no matter how long ago the crime occurred.”

Iovine’s spokesperson responded to the lawsuit at the time, telling Variety: “We are quite shocked and baffled by this alleged claim. This inquiry is the first we’ve heard of this matter. No one has ever made a claim like this against Jimmy Iovine, nor have we been contacted or made aware of any complaint by anyone, including this unknown plaintiff prior to now.”

Iovine is just one of several high-profile figures in the music industry to face sexual misconduct lawsuits recently. Diddy has been infamously involved in several scandals of his own in recent months. Just earlier this week, a former male employee came forward to accuse him of sexual assault. He’s also roped up in a gang rape case with Harve Pierre. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jimmy Iovine on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy Accused Of Groping Male Producer’s Genitals In New Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Sean “Diddy” Combs finds himself in more legal turmoil after producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a federal lawsuit against him on allegations of egregious offenses, per TMZ. In the suit, filed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Rod accuses Diddy of sexual harassment, drugging, and threats. Furthermore, he said that Diddy created a toxic work environment that subjected him to sexual advances from other men. He alleged that he lived and traveled with Diddy from September 2022 to November 2023. During that time, he alleged to have compiled hours of video and audio of Diddy, as well as his staff and associates, “engaging in serious illegal activity.” He’s seeking $30M.

A focal point of this particular lawsuit surrounds the allegations of sexual assault. Rod claimed that Combs tried to force him to engage in sexual acts after hiring sex workers. Moreover, he alleged that Diddy groped his genitals and anus in an attempt to groom him. The bombshell claims also include one where Jones claimed Diddy would not only walk around naked but coerce him into watching videos of another man, whom he identified as Stevie J, engaging in sexual acts with other men. TMZ reports that there is video and photographic evidence that was included in the lawsuit. However, it should be noted, that a pornstar named D’Angelo Marquis has claimed to be the individual portrayed in the images.

In addition, he claimed that Yung Miami’s female cousin also attempted to sexually assault him and engage in sexual acts in front of Diddy and members of his staff. Jones also made claims he was possibly drugged and raped after Diddy brought sex workers to his home in Miami. Furthermore, Rod said Diddy would spike the alcoholic beverages of those who would attend his parties, including some who were underage. In fact, Rod said that Diddy instructed his son Justin to find underage girls to attend these parties. On another occasion, Diddy allegedly introduced Jones to Cuba Gooding Jr.. Jones alleged that Gooding Jr began “touching, groping, and fondling Mr. Jones’s legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks and his shoulders.”

In response, Diddy’s attorney said they have “indisputable proof” that will clear the mogul of any wrongdoing. “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines,” Shawn Holley said. “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”

Justin Combs’ rep similarly shut down these allegations. “Justin Combs categorically denies these absurd allegations. They are all lies! This is a a clear example of a desperate person taking desperate measures in hopes of a pay day. There will be legal consequences for ALL defamatory statements made about the Combs family,” they said.

Trey Songz Gets Another Sexual Assault Lawsuit Dropped

Trey Songz secured another legal win this year, as Radar Online reports that an attorney filed to dismiss a sexual assault case against him. This follows a similar situation from less than a month ago, when a woman dropped her 2013 lawsuit against him for allegedly exposing her breast at a pool party. Moreover, back to this new dropped suit, the lawyer represented two anonymous women and filed to dismiss the complaint against the singer without prejudice. This means that they can file this complaint again at any time, and it’s anyone’s guess as to whether they’re regrouping their case or if they will fully leave their efforts behind.

Furthermore, their claim is, or was, that Trey Songz committed sexual assault and battery against them in 2015. Allegedly, they fell asleep at a party at his house due to being drunk and they woke up to him on top of them, forcing himself on them while they slept. One of them claimed that she tried to fight back, but that the 39-year-old ignored her and continued to pursue relations. In addition, they claimed that he asked them to shower together, but angrily kicked them out of his house when they refused.

Trey Songz Dodges Another Sexual Assault Case

While these cases dropped in the legal sense, Trey Songz still deals with a lot of due skepticism, criticism, and call-outs online thanks to all these alleged cases. Most recently, Jacquees blasted him for all his accusations and supposed actions. “I want the world to know this b***h a** n***a Trey Songz is a b***h,” he shared in a since-deleted social media post. “This n***a came in the club talking ‘bout r*pe. F**k you talking about r*pe for, b***h a** n***a? Then you come outside the club and swing on your little brother. You is a b***h.”

In another video Jacquees published, he made a specific claim about everything the “Say Aah” artist is accused of being true, and mentioned how his religious values play a role in this condemnation. It’s unclear what other pressing legal issues he could be dealing with right now. What’s clear is that it will be very difficult for Trey Songz to shake his past off either way. For more news and the latest updates on him, check back in with HNHH.

Legal Battle Unfolds As Diddy Bids To Reveal Accuser’s Identity

In a legal saga that has taken a shocking turn, Sean “Diddy” Combs and his legal team are requesting the public identification of the woman behind a sexual assault lawsuit against the hip-hop mogul. The move has sparked outrage and raised eyebrows. As the accuser’s lawyers claim it is an attempt to “publicly malign her” based on unrelated issues that occurred two decades ago. This latest development stems from a sealed filing submitted by Diddy’s lawyers, a document hidden from public view that has given rise to numerous questions surrounding its contents and intentions.

Moreover, the accuser’s legal team has responded with a counter-filing. Shedding light on the contentious nature of the case and the potential ramifications of unveiling the accuser’s identity. The legal battle between Diddy and the accuser, whose identity remains protected under current legal protocols, has entered uncharted territory. The accuser’s lawyers argue that the push for public identification is a thinly veiled attempt to tarnish her reputation by bringing up unrelated incidents from 20 years ago. This raises concerns about the intersection of legal strateg. And public perception in high-profile cases, as well as the potential impact on victims coming forward in the #MeToo era.

Diddy Is Requesting Accuser To Go Public

However, the sealed filing by Diddy’s legal team has only fueled speculation and intensified public interest in the case. Critics argue that such secrecy may undermine the principles of transparency and accountability, especially when it comes to cases involving influential figures in the entertainment industry. The unfolding drama puts a spotlight on the delicate balance between the right to a fair trial and the public’s right to information. As discussions surrounding sexual assault cases continue to evolve, the Diddy lawsuit highlights the complexities and challenges that survivors face in seeking justice.

Furthermore, the accuser’s legal team’s objection to revealing her identity underscores the importance of protecting victims from potential character attacks unrelated to the matter at hand, as they navigate the legal system in pursuit of accountability. The outcome of this legal battle could have far-reaching implications for how future cases are handled, particularly in terms of preserving the privacy and dignity of survivors. As the public awaits further developments, the controversy surrounding Diddy’s request to publicly identify the accuser raises crucial questions about the intersection of legal proceedings, public perception, and the rights of survivors in the ongoing fight against sexual assault.

Diddy’s Gang Assault Accuser Has “Public-Facing Identity,” His Legal Team Warns

According to reporter Meghann Cuniff, Diddy’s legal team just warned the court in a new legal filing in his gang assault case that his accuser has a “public-facing identity” that could be identified if named. Moreover, the Jane Doe claims that he and former Bad BoyEntertainment president Harve Pierre were among those who assaulted her as a group, along with accusations of trafficking. Sean Combs’ team wants to seal documents that could provide this information, which apparently came from his accuser’s latest filing. However, it’s important to note that the defense believes Jane Doe’s identity should come to light, but it looks like they don’t want to do so in this way.

Furthermore, it’s unclear what the alternative is, but when this case began in December, the accuser’s lawyers argued that she should remain anonymous throughout the whole process. This is because they believe the revelation of her identity “poses a risk of mental harm.” Diddy’s legal team argued that this shouldn’t be the case, but still requested the judge to conceal new documents “out of an abundance of caution,” as their filing could identify her. In addition, litigator Jonathan D. Davis alleged that Jane Doe’s team agrees with this sentiment.

Reportedly, Harve Pierre also echoed this sentiment via his attorneys. On the other hand, Jane Doe maintained while requesting to keep her identity concealed that her accusations “concern brutal sexual assault… when she was a teenager and, accordingly, are highly sensitive and of a personal nature.” Diddy, Pierre, and a third male whose identity is unknown face accusations of trafficking and assaulting her in 2003 at Combs’ New York City studio. This added to a slew of other sexual assault lawsuits against the entertainment and business mogul.

Meanwhile, this also follows reports that Puff Daddy will not attend the Grammys this year. Many folks wondered if the Recording Academy took any measure to address this issue, but it seems like his team made that decision for them. We’ll see how these active cases further develop in 2024. On that note, check back in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Diddy.

DJ Akademiks Accused Of Sexual Assault & Grooming Minors

DJ Akademiks is currently under a lot of fire on the Internet right now for some allegedly abhorrent behavior. Moreover, during a recent conversation seemingly on the Off The Record podcast, he spoke about a lot of things relating to his complicated relationship with women. Particularly, the media personality claimed that his girlfriend stole $500K from him, along with some other accusations of assault and conflicting reports about her getting arrested on felony charges. As of press time, those haven’t been officially confirmed. Another tale concerned a girl that he was “f***ing with” that allegedly had a threesome at his house with his friends while he was passed-out drunk.

“I’m shaming her now,” DJ Akademiks remarked. “I said to her, ‘Yo, I’ma keep it a bean with you. You came to my house and had two n***as f**k you raw.’ I ain’t seen no condom, no nothing. I said to her, ‘You should go get tested, bro.’ From that moment, she kept trying to pivot on the denial, like, ‘Yo, send me the video, I’m pretty sure I didn’t f**k him.’ Now I’m getting super tight, because bro, I’m not about to watch this video of you getting f***ed, it’s on my surveillance camera. I was f***ing with you.”

Then, a video emerged on social media of a woman claiming to be who that DJ Akademiks referred to. “I look cr*zy right now, but I’m not gonna stand here and let this man continue to lie about me,” she began. “That’s not what happened, Akademiks. You know that’s not what happened. And for you to pretend like you didn’t do anything? That I just went to your house and I’m just some thot. Like we didn’t know each other for two years. You tried to save yourself after your friends assaulted me. Whether you got drunk or not, I know that when I woke up, you were on top of me, too. You r*ped me, too. A r*pe kit was done. You know what? I’m gonna come back with my own story. This what you wanted? You’re about to get it. I’ve been quiet for way too long.”

More Allegations From & Against Ak

In addition, allegations emerged online of the former Everyday Struggle host grooming underage girls.

The Game’s Sexual Assault Accuser Wins Second Lawsuit Against Him

The Game just lost a second lawsuit against him from Priscilla Rainey, a former contestant on his 2015 She’s Got Game reality TV show. Moreover, she sued him for sexual assault in 2016 after he allegedly touched her without consent on a date. The rapper lost this case due to his failure to attend court for scheduled hearings, resulting in a default judgement of $7.1 million owed to Rainey. But in 2021, she opened another lawsuit and claimed he opened various shell companies to avoid complying with this ruling and hide assets. Now, the court reportedly sided with her, and the 44-year-old must fully account for this missing payment.

Furthermore, Rainey alleged that he gave up his role as manager at the company JTT Holdings and instead passed the torch to his manager, Wack 100. Another way in which The Game allegedly gamed the system to not look like he had that many assets was, according to the former reality TV contestant, giving up ownership of his Los Angeles property. Her victorious second lawsuit claimed that she only received $500K of the amount established by the default judgement. As such, Rainey seeks to seize this eventually and asked the court to delegitimize these shell companies so she could access her owed funds.

The Game Loses Second Lawsuit Concerning Sexual Assault Case

According to reports, the court held a hearing on December 13 to discuss this, and both the plaintiff and The Game’s manager Wack testified. The music executive and provocateur told authorities that his client gave him his Los Angeles house due to a personal debt between them, and nothing more. According to Radar Online the court ended up siding with Rainey and established the California MC’s inability to avoid payments, unless he wants more consequences down the line. For example, Rainey would now be able to file a lien against his L.A. home or sell it, now that it’s reportedly back under his legal ownership and part of his seizable assets.

Meanwhile, what do you think about this whole debacle? Is Evelyn Lozada’s daughter’s possible flame going to get out of this or is this the final straw in Rainey’s journey? However you may feel, let us know in the comments section down below. For more news and the latest updates on The Game, stay up to date on HNHH.

Jermaine Jackson Hit With Sexual Assault Lawsuit For Alleged 1988 Incident

Jermaine Jackson, brother of Michael and founding member of the Jackson 5, received a lawsuit for alleged sexual assault and battery, according to a Rolling Stone report. Moreover, the suit arrived on Wednesday (December 28) from Rita Barrett, who claims he assaulted her in her home in 1988 when he was around 34. According to this motion, Barrett connected with the artist when she was a music contractor and through Berry Gordy, her husband’s friend who founded Motown records and signed the Jackson 5 in 1968. In addition, it alleges that he arrived at Barrett’s home and, through actions of “force and violence,” led her to “fear for her life.”

Furthermore, Jermaine Jackson owns various companies that the plaintiff named in this lawsuit, including Jermaine L. Jackson Music Productions and Work Records. “[Barrett] suffered severe emotional, physical, and psychological injury, including humiliation, shame, guilt, economic loss, economic capacity, and permanent emotional distress,” the suit reportedly reads. As for the cause of Barrett’s motion, the indicated reason is “sexual assault, battery, sexual battery, and negligence,” and she seeks “unspecified damages” as compensation. It should be noted that this adds to the 69-year-old’s previous legal complications when it comes to relationships and partnerships.

Jermaine Jackson Accused Of Sexual Assault: Report

“Rita Barrett suffered an egregious and violent sexual assault,” her lawyer Jeff Anderson, told Rolling Stone. “This is about her power and the declaration of it when she learned [she could do] something under the law. She found the strength and support to find us and is now standing up for herself and others.” While Berry Gordy isn’t a defendant in this case, Barrett claims that when she reported Jermaine Jackson’s actions to him, he protected his artist for monetary reasons. Entertainment Tonight added that Jackson married to Gordy’s daughter Hazel in 1973, and that they split the year that this assault allegedly occurred. This lawsuit comes under California’s AB2777 Bill, which “temporarily waives the statute of limitations on some civil claims related to sexual misconduct.” Similar laws in New York prompted a lawsuit for similar crimes against the City’s Mayor, Eric Adams.

Meanwhile, Diddy also found himself in the middle of various accusations due to this extension. At press time, neither Jackson nor Gordy’s team have responded to these claims. Surely the coming weeks will illuminate the situation more. For more news and updates on Jermaine Jackson, keep checking in with HNHH.
