Sean “Diddy” Combs is fighting a new discovery demand from accuser Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who wants information about Cuba Gooding Jr. as part of his $30 million lawsuit.
According to TMZ, Diddy objected to Jones’ request for documents and information about Gooding, calling it “abusive and improper.” Jones has alleged that Gooding, 58, assaulted him on Diddy’s yacht, but Gooding has not been charged with a crime related to the civil case.
Jones first sued Diddy in February 2024, alleging he was sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened while working on the disgraced music mogul’s 2023 project, The Love Album: Off the Grid.
The lawsuit originally named several defendants, including Diddy’s son Justin, Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge, and former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam.
Jones added Gooding as a co-defendant in March 2024, the same day Homeland Security agents raided Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami, shocking the world. Those searches later became part of the federal investigation that led to sex trafficking and racketeering charges against Combs.
Diddy’s latest filing also claims that Jones failed to submit medical records correctly in November. Diddy denies all allegations against him.
