In March 2025, a professional photographer filed a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs in the New York State Supreme Court, alleging sexual battery. The plaintiff, identified as John Doe, claims that during a commercial shoot in late 2022 or early 2023, Combs invited him into his trailer under the pretense of discussing career opportunities. Once inside, Combs allegedly pressured Doe to engage in sexual acts, suggesting that compliance would advance his career. The lawsuit details that after Doe refused, Combs threatened him with physical violence and expelled him from the trailer. Doe asserts that he returned to work, grappling with the trauma of the encounter.

Combs' legal team has denied the allegations, stating that he has "never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor." They assert confidence in the judicial process and anticipate prevailing in court. This lawsuit adds to a series of legal challenges Combs faces, including multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and assault spanning several decades. As of now, Combs remains incarcerated on unrelated charges, with a trial set for May 2025.


On March 14, 2025, Sean "Diddy" Combs appeared in Manhattan federal court, pleading not guilty to a superseding indictment that expands previous charges to include allegations of forced labor. Prosecutors assert that between 2004 and 2024, Combs exploited his business empire to coerce employees into grueling work conditions and threatened those who resisted, as part of a broader sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

During the hearing, Combs, 55, appeared with noticeable physical changes, sporting gray hair and a beard. The court discussed the admissibility of a hotel surveillance video from 2016, allegedly showing Combs assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. His defense contends the footage is misleading and manipulated. Combs has been detained without bail since his September 2024 arrest, with his trial scheduled to commence on May 5, 2025.
