Sean 'Diddy' Combs Denies Allegations in Federal Indictment

Sean 'Diddy' Combs maintains his innocence in response to new allegations of forced labor and sexual misconduct.


In a dramatic courtroom appearance, Sean "Diddy" Combs entered a plea of not guilty to an amended indictment that outlines severe new allegations against him, including claims of forced labor and sexual exploitation of employees.



Sean "Diddy" Combs, the prominent hip-hop artist and business mogul, pleaded not guilty to an updated federal indictment on Friday, unveiling grave accusations that he coerced employees into working under threat and engaged in sexual acts against their will. The superseding indictment brings fresh scrutiny to allegations surrounding his conduct toward staff, asserting that at least one employee was made to participate in sexual activities with him.

The legal team representing Mr. Combs has staunchly refuted the allegations, insisting that no one was ever forced into sexual acts and framing the matter as relating exclusively to consensual relationships with partners. His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, expressed confidence in their defense, stating that Mr. Combs eagerly anticipates his chance to court, where the truth of his record will emerge.

Aside from the current federal charges which include racketeering, Mr. Combs is also facing numerous civil lawsuits alleging rape and assault. His legal representatives have branded these lawsuits as opportunistic attempts to gain publicity.

As Mr. Combs entered the courtroom situated in New York's southern district federal court, he appeared in a prison jumpsuit, with his family and friends present, offering their support during this tumultuous time. Following his not guilty plea, a judge confirmed that jury selection for the coming trial is set to commence on May 5th, with opening statements scheduled for May 12th.

A significant point in the proceedings was the prosecution's reference to video evidence from an incident in 2016, where Mr. Combs allegedly kicked his former girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, in a hotel. The defense has contested the integrity of the footage, claiming it was manipulated, while the prosecution deems it crucial evidence.

In light of these ongoing legal battles, the public is closely watching how the case progresses and the implications for Combs' illustrious career in the music and entertainment industry.
