Sean “Diddy” Combs and his 26-year-old son, Christian “King” Combs, are named as defendants in a new lawsuit that alleges the music mogul’s son sexually assaulted a woman on a yacht in December 2022.
Christian is accused of assault, battery, sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress, according to a complaint filed on April 4 and obtained by Rolling Stone. Sean Combs is named in the lawsuit since he charted the luxury yacht where the assault was said to have occurred.
This complaint is the first accusation against Christian in a string of recent sexual assault lawsuits against his father. The Combs family’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles were also raided as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation in the last week, with Sean Combs vehemently denying these allegations in statements issued by his attorneys. The latest statement from Sean Combs’ legal team described the raids as an “unprecedented ambush” and a “witch hunt.”
The April 4 complaint describes an altercation between Christian and 25-year-old Grace O’Marcaigh, the only on-duty steward on the yacht. She claims she was forced to “perform oral copulation” on Christian after she felt pressured and was forcibly fed a pair of tequila shots. Christian allegedly prevented her from leaving and she says she “quickly suspected the tequila was spiked.”
O’Marcaigh further claims that while Christian groped and kissed her, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones — a music producer who filed a separate sex trafficking lawsuit against Sean Combs in February — was recording the standoff. The lawsuit also includes color photos showing the bruises she acquired from Christian during the altercation.
O’Marcaigh says she freed herself from Combs’ grip when her colleague on board was purposefully looking for her since she had been missing for a long time. She recalls complaining to the ship’s captain but says the incident was not investigated. She believes that is because Sean Combs paid the captain to keep everything under wraps.
While working on the yacht for Combs, O’Marcaigh also claimed Combs’ accused drug “mule” Brendan Paul once told her he had been forced to “watch Combs have sex with multiple women.” Paul is the only person who was arrested during the raids of the Combs family’s homes. He was charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana. Christian and his older brother Justin Combs were also detained during the raid on their dad’s Los Angeles property but they were later released.
Representatives for Sean Combs did not immediately respond to PvNew‘s request for comment.
Sean Combs faces several lawsuits though the most groundbreaking claims began when R&B singer Cassie, who dated Sean Combs for years, filed a suit on Nov. 16. The suit claimed Sean Combs had been combative towards her throughout their relationship. She described him as a “serial domestic abuser, who would regularly beat and kick Ms. Ventura.” The following day, the two parties settled the lawsuit on what they described as amicable terms.
Another lawsuit, filed in December, alleged that Sean Combs had gang-raped a 17-year-old girl in 2003. This complaint raised the issue of Sean Combs’ involvement in a “sex trafficking scheme” since the plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, accused Combs of flying her into New York by private jet from her home in Michigan.
Following those allegations, Sean Combs resigned as chairman of Revolt, and his Hulu reality show was subsequently canceled.
