Earlier this week, Diddy was hit with another lawsuit, this time from his former music producer who claims he was sexually assaulted by the Bad Boy founder. Photos were submitted as evidence within the lawsuit, however, an adult film star has now come forward and claimed that photos used in the document were of him and not the person the suit claimed.
NBC News reported that Rodney “Lil’ Rod” Jones, a producer and videographer, filed a lawsuit against Diddy in federal court on Monday (Feb. 26). Rodney Jones listed Diddy, his son Justin Combs, Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge, Comb’s chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, and ex-Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam as defendants in the suit.
“The following are screenshots of the video of Stevie J anally penetrating a Caucasian male that Mr. Combs provided to Mr. Jones,” read the filing.
After the document made its rounds on the internet, Knockout, a male pornstar, went on Twitter to claim the images in the lawsuit were screenshots of him and not Stevie J. “This is not him it’s me yall really be trying it,” he responded. See below.
The adult film star posted several more tweets doubling down on his claim. After another user wrote, “The photo does look like you,” and Knockout replied, “I know and they will not bring him down off my name try again.”
Lil’ Rod’s lawsuit states that he lived and traveled with Combs for work from September 2022 to November 2023 and alleges he was repeatedly sexually assaulted and subjected to nonconsensual advances by Diddy’s associates. The suit also claims there are recorded hours of video and audio detailing Combs and his team “engaging in serious illegal activity.”
Jones then explained that Combs forced him to watch a video of two men having intercourse. The legal document lists one of the men in the video as Stevie J, which is the screenshot referenced above.
Combs’ attorney, Shawn Holley, has since denied that the allegations made by Jones, and his legal team asserted that the claims were lies and another attempt to grab headlines.
“[Jones’] reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines,” 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.”
