AceShowbiz - Sean Combs’s legal team has responded strongly to the sexual assault allegations made by publicist Jonathan Hay, denying every claim and asserting that no harm was caused.

In the official legal filing, Diddy’s attorneys rejected all of Hay’s accusations, which include disturbing claims from a 2020 studio session where Hay alleges Diddy exposed himself and pressured him into unwanted sexual acts. According to the complaint, the alleged incident only ended when a loud noise interrupted the situation.

Hay also accuses Diddy of a 2005 incident where he supposedly masturbated using a Notorious B.I.G. shirt and then threw the soiled clothing at Hay while saying, "Rest in peace BIG." In an amended lawsuit, Hay further alleges that CJ Wallace, son of Biggie, helped bring him to a location where Diddy allegedly attempted to force oral sex on him.

However, the defense argues these allegations are false and claims Hay either consented to or "welcomed" the behavior. They also contend that no actual confinement occurred to support the false imprisonment charge, suggesting any restraint used was part of a lawful citizen’s arrest. If there was any physical confrontation, the defense states it was in self-defense due to Hay’s hostile actions.

Additionally, Diddy’s lawyers contend that Hay delayed too long in filing the lawsuit and have requested the entire case be dismissed with a judgment in favor of Diddy.

This response follows a March ruling by Judge Michael E. Whitaker, who denied Diddy’s earlier motion to dismiss, allowing the case to continue toward trial. This latest filing marks Diddy’s next legal move in what is shaping up to be a prolonged legal battle.

Currently, Diddy is serving a 50-month sentence at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey, following his July 2025 conviction on prostitution-related charges. He is scheduled for early release in April 2028 but faces hundreds of civil lawsuits during his incarceration, with this case being one of many.
