Diddy accuser reveals her identity in shocking lawsuit detailing her 'bitten feet' and freak-off fears
An ex-girlfriend of Sean ' Diddy ' Combs has come out as one of the plaintiffs who filed a lawsuit against him alleging sexual assault, as his trial continues in court.
Chelsea Lovelace filed her suit against Combs, 55, on September 27, 2024, just over a week after he was charged with sex trafficking and a racketeering conspiracy.
Re-filing her lawsuit using her real name, Lovelace said that Combs pushed her to take part in 'freak-offs' before he allegedly drugged her at his Miami mansion in July.
Lovelace added that the rapper often gave her alcohol and drugs, including Ecstasy, until she passed out to 'compel her into engaging in sex acts without her consent'.
She recalled one instance where she allegedly woke up covered in bruises, and even bite marks on her feet, with no memory of how she got the injuries.
The plaintiff met Combs in 2020 and dated him until last September. She initially filed the lawsuit anonymously, but revealed her identity on Thursday.
Lovelace told Daily Mail: 'I loved him and truly believed we had a meaningful bond.
'Coming forward wasn't easy, but silence was costing me too much.'
'This isn't about revenge — it's about reclaiming my voice, my dignity and finally choosing myself.
'I trust that God is guiding me through this, and I believe healing begins with truth.'
She added that filing this lawsuit is not an act of revenge, but is an 'act of release, standing in my truth, of choosing healing over hiding.'
Lovelace said that she met Combs in the fall of 2020 and they quickly started dating.
They saw each other around once a month, with the music mogul organizing her travel to join him around the US, including in Miami, New York and Los Angeles.
Lovelace said Combs would ask her to 'perform a show' for him each time she visited, which involved covering herself in warmed baby oil and engaging in sexual activity with him which went on for hours.
She said that the rapper was controlling, and used to try to discourage her from working.
The plaintiff claims Diddy ordered his staff to incessantly try to contact her when he couldn't get through.
Lovelace said the rapper was so possessive she grew concerned that he was monitoring her communications.
She said she last visited Combs in July 2024, and he begged her to bring a man to their bedroom one night.
'I was in and out [of consciousness] that night,' Lovelace told Rolling Stone.
'But I do remember I was just like, 'I'm just gonna say yes so he leaves me alone, and I'm never coming back. I am never coming back after this.'
Her lawsuit said that when she woke the next morning, she felt 'ill and confused and could not remember what happened the night before and the bedroom was in a disarray.'
Lovelace's attorney, Joseph Ciaccio, said that his firm, Napoli Shkolnik, 'stands by our client's brave decision to publicly identify herself in the civil case against Sean Combs'.
'Her choice to step forward speaks volumes about her strength and resolve,' he told Rolling Stone.
'From the outset, our firm has maintained that no one is above the law, especially those in positions of power, and that principle remains steadfast. We are committed to pursuing justice on her behalf.'
Lovelace has requested compensatory damages of an amount to be decided in court, along with attorney fees.
In his current trial, Combs is charged with racketeering conspiracy, two charges of sex trafficking and two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.
Prosecutors claim Diddy coerced victims into drug-fueled sex parties using sex and violence. The rapper has denied all accusations, saying all sex acts were consensual.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have date night at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce stepped out for a hockey-filled date night. The couple was spotted holding hands as they made their way to their seats at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, to watch Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers on June 12. Video of their arrival was shared on X by the NHL's official account. Swift, who recently purchased the rights to her music, looked stylish in a beige two-piece jacket and shorts set. Her hair was in a long braid and sported her signature red lip. Kelce, on his end, opted for a red sweatshirt and shorts matching set, as well. The Kansas City Chiefs star was also seen rocking a Panthers and Palm Tree Crew hat. Photos and video of Kelce and Swift continued to make their way online. Sports Center shared a snap of the two when they were shown on TV and Sportsnet posted a clip of the commentators calling the couple 'musical and sporting royalty.' They also mentioned the singer's song 'Florida!!!' off her album 'The Tortured Poets Department.' Throughout the night, the pair was seen cheering on the Panthers while sitting in the team's section. It's a rare public outing for Swift and Kelce who, aside from being photographed in New York heading to dinner, usually steer clear of large events. While they may not be spotted out and about as frequently, Kelce does support the superstar whenever he gets a chance. In May, after a years-long battle and re-recording of four of her albums, Swift revealed she now owns her master recordings. 'To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it. To my fans, you know how important this has been to me — so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released 4 of my albums, calling them Taylor's Version,' she wrote in part. 'The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music.' Shortly after, in a 'New Heights' podcast episode, Kelce congratulated Swift on the accomplishment. When guest Shaquille O'Neal played and told Kelce that 'I Knew You Were Trouble' was his 'favorite song in the world,' Kelce happily praised the pop star. 'Shout out to Tay Tay. Just got that song back, too,' he said. 'Just bought all her music back so it's finally hers, man.'

Alleged child sex abuse victim of Gateway Church founder Robert Morris sues him for defamation
An Oklahoma woman who accused megachurch pastor Robert Morris of sexually assaulting her as a young girl is now seeking at least $1 million from the disgraced televangelist for, among other things, slander, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress over his public actions in the years since. In a 39-page lawsuit filed Thursday, Cindy Clemishire, who is now 55 and working as a real estate broker, says the 63-year-old Morris, his wife Deborah, their sons and numerous church elders all conspired to cover up the 'heinous' abuse she suffered at his hands. Gateway Church, which Morris founded 25 years ago in the affluent Dallas, Texas suburb of Southlake, quickly became one of the biggest congregations in the country, drawing 100,000 or more worshipers to its weekend services. 'Defendants have made millions of dollars from Gateway Church, writing and publishing books, speaking engagements, TV shows, radio shows, [and] The King's University… while preaching about sexual immorality and redemption all while concealing the true facts of Defendant Robert Morris's sexual abuse and rape of Plaintiff, whose abuse began while she was just 12 years old,' Clemishire's complaint contends. Morris, his family and Gateway Church leadership later downplayed his alleged crimes as 'nothing more than an 'inappropriate relationship,' an 'indiscretion,' 'his transgressions,' 'his moral failures' and an 'extramarital relationship,' deceiving thousands of church parishioners and the public with a false narrative that the sexual acts performed on the plaintiff as a minor child were consensual, or even worse, solicited,' Clemishire's attorneys said in a statement released after filing the suit in Dallas County District Court on behalf of her and her father, Jerry Lee Clemishire. 'Instead,' the statement goes on, 'the lawsuit makes clear that the actions 'amounted to criminal sexual contact with a child, rape and continuous sexual abuse of a child,' for which the survivor is entitled to just compensation for damages.' In an email on Thursday, church spokeswoman Bonnie Curry told The Independent, "No comment to add from Gateway.' Morris, a former spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, first assaulted Clemishire on December 25, 1982, when he 'demanded' that Clemishire 'get into bed with him,' according to the complaint. At the time, the 22-year-old Morris was on the road as a traveling preacher, and had become friendly with Clemishire's family. The molestation continued for another five years, with Morris insisting to Clemishire that she 'can't ever tell anyone what just happened or it will ruin everything,' the complaint states. However, in 1987, it says Clemishire confided to a friend about Morris' 'wrongful and egregious actions.' Clemishire, who was then 17, then got a call from Deborah Morris, who said she 'forgave' Clemishire for what had happened, according to the complaint. This, the filing argues, 'allud[ed] that it was [Clemishire's] fault that [Morris'] husband had sexually assaulted and raped [her].' Morris would acknowledge in a 2014 sermon that he had been "sexually immoral" during his younger days, and a decade later told The Christian Post that when he was in his early 20s, he 'was involved in inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady in a home where I was staying.' 'It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong,' Morris told the publication. 'This behavior happened on several occasions over the next few years.' Over the past year, Morris has continued to defame Clemishire by claiming that 'his sexual battery, assault, and rape of [her] was an 'extramarital affair,'' implying that the pre-teen had 'initiated, sought and desired a sexual relationship' with him, her complaint maintains. 'Defendant Morris and/or other Defendants spread horrendous and damaging lies that it was Plaintiff that initiated and perpetuated these illegal acts,' the complaint states. 'Further, Defendants asserted that Plaintiffs forgave Defendant Morris, which was a lie.' In June 2024, Morris stepped down from his position at Gateway Church. His son, along with several other members of the church's board of elders, were placed on temporary leaves of absence while an outside team of investigators probed the allegations against Morris. In March 2025, an Oklahoma grand jury indicted Morris on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, based on Clemishire's claims. 'After almost 43 years, the law has finally caught up with Robert Morris for the horrific crimes he committed against me as a child,' Clemishire said in a statement after the indictment was announced. 'Now, it is time for the legal system to hold him accountable. My family and I are deeply grateful to the authorities who have worked tirelessly to make this day possible and remain hopeful that justice will ultimately prevail.' Last month, Morris filed his own lawsuit against Gateway, arguing that while his behavior may have been 'inappropriate,' the church still owes him millions of dollars in severance, deferred compensation and retirement benefits. But, while church lawyers said Morris 'was laser-focused on securing his financial future,' the accusations against him amounted to a breach of contract, liberating Gateway from any previously agreed upon obligations. For her part, Clemishire is seeking actual, presumed and exemplary damages to be determined by a jury. 'We filed this lawsuit on behalf of Ms. Clemishire because, while criminal charges continue to progress, Morris and those who conspired with him deserve to be held civilly accountable for their actions as well,' attorney S. Alex Yaffe, one of the lawyers representing Clemishire, said on Thursday. 'The lawsuit and the crimes alleged speak for themselves and we look forward to seeing justice served for the Plaintiffs in this case.'

Chicago Cubs broadcast leaves viewers stunned as Justin Turner is seen engaging in lewd celebration
Chicago Cubs fans were stunned on Thursday night as their team's home broadcast showed Justin Turner engaging in an extremely lewd celebration. Turner, 40, did not appear in the game for Chicago but was dubbed the 'Fan of the Game' by Marquee Sports Network, as they showed a clip of him celebrating with outfielder Seiya Suzuki. But the veteran Turner's cheers were from from typical, as the infielder was actually seen wearing a pair of fake testicles as he jumped up and down. The 2020 World Series champion smiled wide as he pumped his arms in the air while wearing the bizarre item, and fans couldn't believe that Marquee aired the NSFW moment. 'I was like is the camera guy blind or did he do it on purpose,' one fan asked on X, including a laughing-crying emoji in their post. 'Broadcast got some balls to show that,' a second joked. Suzuki rounds the bases after hitting a home run in the bottom of the sixth inning 'For most men, it's the simple things,' a third added. And a fourth said: 'Did we just win it all?' According to the New York Post, broadcasters Boog Sciambi and Jim Deshaies went silent for about 30 seconds afterwards as they seemingly realized what had happened on the broadcast. Nonetheless, it was a positive night for the Cubs as they beat the Pirates 3-2 to move to 42-27 on the year. Turner, in his 17th MLB season, has played a reserve role for the red-hot Cubs this season, only appearing in 38 games. In 110 plate appearances, he's hitting .213 with 11 RBIs and one home run. The Cubs have three more games against Pittsburgh this weekend before they'll welcome the Brewers to town.
