Cuba Gooding Jr. Accused of Sexually Assaulting Producer Lil Rod on Sean 'Diddy' Combs's Yacht: Lawsuit

In a lawsuit, record producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones Jr. accused Sean 'Diddy' Combs of 'grooming him to pass him off to his friends' when he introduced him to Cuba Gooding Jr. on a yacht in January 2023. Combs has denied the allegations.

In the complaint, Jones claims that the Oscar winner "began touching, groping, and fondling [his] legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks, and his shoulders" while on a yacht in the U.S. Virgin Islands rented by Combs in January 2023. Combs’ adult son Justin, his chief of staff Kristina Khorram, and Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge are also named as defendants in the updated lawsuit. 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."
