Since last November, rapper and businessman Sean Combs has faced five lawsuits of sexual abuse and harassment (one from a former producer and another four from different women, one of them closed by an out-of-court settlement), which have resulted in resulted in a federal sex trafficking investigation. Now, he is back in the spotlight for a lawsuit in which he is named, but in which the main defendant this time is Christian Combs, 26, the third of his seven children, accused of sexually assaulting and harassing a woman named Grace O'Marcaigh at the end of 2022.
O'Marcaigh has filed a lawsuit against Christian Combs in the Superior Court of Justice in Los Angeles (California). In it she alleges that in December 2022, when she was 25 years old and working on a yacht rented by Sean Combs – also known as Puff Daddy or Diddy – the young man, then 24, drugged and assaulted her. Specifically, she accuses him of “sexual assault, sexual harassment and emotional harm,” as she has made known. the NBC network, which has had first access to the demand. For his part, the young man's father is also one of the defendants, in his case for civil liability, both for being the one who rented the yacht and for complicity with his son in the alleged attack. Neither of them has responded to the accusations, nor have their spokespersons or lawyers.
In her lawsuit, O'Marcaigh explains that in December 2022 she was hired to work as a waitress, serving food and drinks on the yacht from six in the afternoon until six in the morning. Around December 28, he was informed that Christian Combs—who until then was staying in a nearby cabin and coming and going to the ship—would join the party to record with a producer and frequent collaborator of Sean Combs in a studio they had improvised. on the yacht. Said producer was Rodney Jones, known as Lil Rod, who precisely sued Sean Combs for abuse, touching and drugging him in February.
In court documents, the plaintiff explains that when the young man arrived at the party he was “very drunk” and that he began to pay too much attention to her, that he pressured her to take shots of a tequila that he himself brought on board, and that after drinking himself became aggressive and insisted he drink more and more. O'Marcaigh relates in the lawsuit how from the first moment he suspected that the alcohol bottles on the ship were adulterated with drugs, since many of the women who consumed it fell, fainted and suffered panic attacks after having just one drink. He says that he witnessed many parties in which drugs were frequently consumed among celebrities and “a constant rotation of alleged sex workers.”
After the tequila, the waitress explains how “the situation worsened” when Christian Combs began to grope her legs, chest, anus and genitals. The young woman provides both transcripts and audio clips – small parts of the hours recorded by Rodney Jones in the studio – with evidence that she refused the assault, refusing alcohol and saying that she had to leave, asking Combs to stop touching her. .
In the recordings, according to NBC, which has been able to listen to two of them, phrases from O'Marcaigh are heard such as: “Please don't touch my legs like that. I will put them where I want”, “if I want to do it, I will do it. Don't touch my legs like that”, “I can't, I have to go, I have to go down”. At one point she tells him that he can't stay because he hasn't asked his superior for permission, thinking that summoning “someone in authority” would give him some leeway, since everyone was sleeping at the time and Combs couldn't have access to anyone. “Who can I talk to? “I'm going to tell them right now that I demanded you be here,” he bellows, to which she responds, “Well, first you could take your hand off my ass.”
O'Marcaigh managed to leave the studio, tried to return to his duties and finish his shift. But he found her shortly after her and asked her to find him a place to sleep. She accompanied him to the ship's movie room, which she claims was used as an extra bedroom, and then he blocked her, began touching her and removing her clothes, and attempted to force her to perform fellatio on him. She fought him off and managed to leave when someone entered the room.
As evidence, in addition to the audios, the plaintiff has also provided photographs of the bruises she had on her arms days later. She tried to complain to the captain of the ship but he did not believe her and did not want to investigate it; in fact, he claims that he retaliated against her. They fired her, five months after her. The young woman claims that this caused a serious impact on her personal and professional life, and also on her mental health, and that she began to have suicidal thoughts, eating disorders and even epileptic seizures from then on. .
Christian Combs is the eldest of the three children that Sean and the actress and model Kim Porter had, who died in November 2018. Known artistically as King Combs, the young man has walked for Dolce & Gabbana and has released thirty songs, including one with his brother Quincy (son of Porter and adopted by Sean Combs) and another, his biggest hit, called Can't Stop Won't Stop, with Kodak Black, which has more than 27 million streams on Spotify. Being part of the family business, Christian is very close to his father, and when he turned 18 he became part of the family record company.
