A shocking new civil lawsuit filed against Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, claims Beyoncé was present and witnessed a man being paraded around with a personal pleasure device strapped to his face...
From People
A man accusing Sean "Diddy" Combs of sixual assault claims in a new lawsuit that he was paraded around the mogul's home while being made to wear a paynis mask and encountered Beyoncé, Jay-Z, LeBron James and other celebrity attendees at a party.
The accuser, Joseph Manzaro, alleges that he was drugged and taken to a home on Star Island, in Miami, owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan, for Christian "King" Combs' birthday in April 2015. Once there, he claims Gloria saw him in a "deteriorating state" and told someone to call an ambulance, before Emilio allegedly ushered her away, according to the complaint obtained by PEOPLE.
Manzaro says he then briefly saw James walking in a hallway, who remarked, "Y'all better do something about that," the complaint states.
The complaint alleges that Manzaro was then taken via an underground tunnel to Combs' mansion by former pxrn star Adria English, who is also named a defendant in the suit.
Manzaro then alleges in the complaint that he regained partial consciousness and found him in a room with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, the latter of whom expressed confusion and asked why a "half-naked" man with a six toy strapped to his face was standing in front of her.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Combs' legal team strongly denied the allegations levied by Manzaroo.
“This complaint demonstrates the depraved lengths plaintiffs will travel to garner headlines in pursuit of a payday," Combs' legal team says. "No sane person reading this complaint could credit this story. Mr. Combs looks forward to having his day in court where these lies – and the perverse motives of those who told them – will be revealed."
Emilio Estefan was named a defendant in the lawsuit. Gloria Estefan, James, Beyoncé and Jay-Z were not named as defendants.
In a statement to PEOPLE, the rep for Gloria and Emilio Estefan denied the allegations.
"Gloria and Emilio Estefan strongly deny the allegations made," the statement said. "The property in question was never a home where Gloria and Emilio resided, but it was rather a house they owned for family use. There were no parties thrown at that property between 2012 and 2019. We have all necessary documentation to support these facts and will provide it to the court."
Jay-Z's attorney Alex Spiro also gave a statement to PEOPLE defending his client.
"[Jay-Z] wasn't in Florida at that time to witness this incident — he was engaged in easily findable public activities that prove he was not at this event," Spiro said. "This is more nonsense that erodes the trust in our 'justice' system."
James and Beyoncé did not immediately return requests for comment. A rep for English could not immediately be reached.
