Odell Beckham Jr. and Druski Named in New Sean ‘Diddy' Combs Sexual-Assault Lawsuit; Both Deny Involvement
Comedian Druski and NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. have been included in a sexual-assault lawsuit against Sean 'Diddy,' Combs, the latest in more than 100 filed against the embattled rapper-entrepreneur, who has been in police custody since September.
Druski and Beckham both denied involvement in the alleged 2018 incident — which includes the victim stabbing Diddy after he and others violently raped her, gunshots being fired and, in an unclear action, local law enforcement possibly being paid off — in a post on social media late Sunday, with Druski calling it a 'fabricated lie.'

The lawsuit, filed in California late Friday, implicates more than a dozen defendants — including Diddy, Beckham, Druski, singer-rapper Jaguar Wright and others — in an assault on Ashley Parham and two John Does. Parham alleged in a filing made last October that she had been drugged, kidnapped and assaulted by multiple individuals after Diddy heard her saying she believed he was involved in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur; this amended filing identifies several of the individuals who were allegedly involved. The alleged comment took place over a Facetime call between Diddy and associate Shane Pearce in February of 2018 and the alleged assault took place at one of the defendant's apartments the following month.
Druski, 30, denied any involvement in a statement on social media, writing, 'This allegation is a fabricated lie. I wasn't a public figure in 2018 — I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish.
'My heart breaks for actual victims of abuse, but I'm fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood and the individuals who are maliciously trying to game the legal system to pedal false narratives.'
In a reply, Beckham Jr., 32, wrote in an awkwardly spelled post: 'Boy I'll tell u what. This world makes absolutely no sense. I am covered by God. He will prevail. I kno who am I , I kno who u are, keep ur head. That name will be cleared. Shxts stupid.'
The lawsuit describes the alleged incident in gruesome detail, claiming that it took place after Pearce had invited Parham into his apartment, asking for assistance with cancer medications that he was too weak to administer himself. He allegedly left the front door unlocked, which allowed Diddy and multiple associates to enter and assault Parham. Diddy had allegedly said at the end of the earlier Facetime call that Parham would 'pay' for her Tupac comments.
After Diddy and others allegedly assaulted Parham, she left the apartment wearing just a large T-shirt, carrying a knife that had earlier been used to threaten her. After comments from Diddy and his associates, who were casually smoking in the yard, she allegedly stabbed Diddy in the back, resulting in gunshots being fired.
In the ensuing confusion, she fled the scene and encountered a man who claimed to be a law-enforcement official but was actually one of Diddy's associates impersonating one. She escaped that individual and encountered a Contra Costa County Sheriff, who she claimed was later handed an envelope, which she believed contained cash. Contra Costa County representatives have declined comment, according to the lawsuit.
Combs, 55, is awaiting trial in New York on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, which he has denied. The trial is scheduled to begin on May 5.
Last month, his lawyer Anthony Ricco filed a motion to resign, saying 'under no circumstances can I continue.'

Diddy's alleged 'sexual deviant' behavior distracts from government's case: expert
Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend provided the jury more insight into the rapper's life outside his music mogul status when she returned to the witness stand Tuesday for cross-examination in his federal trial for sex crimes. Using a pseudonym, "Jane" testified that she broached the subject of rehab for the "Last Night" rapper after allegedly witnessing him "overdoing the partying." She claimed he would offer her ecstasy before engaging in role play and that Diddy liked to use the words "voyeurism" and "escapism" to describe his fantasies of watching her participate in sexual encounters with male escorts. Attorney David Seltzer told Fox News Digital that while Jane's testimony was compelling, her claims did little to aid in the prosecution's case to convict Diddy of the five charges he's facing. "The testimony from the latest witness, Jane, continues to show the world that Mr. Combs is a sexual deviant," Seltzer said. "Someone who thought he was untouchable and above the law. Still, while there is no doubt Mr. Combs broke multiple laws. The charges he is facing in federal court are not laws he has broken. "Jane's testimony, voice notes and all, while chilling and demonstrate Mr. Combs' controlling behavior, does not, in my opinion, prove the government's case. Rather, it further depicts Mr. Combs as morally reprehensible and as such someone the jury should convict." Former federal prosecutor Neahma Rahmani told Fox News Digital that this case "comes down to coercion versus consent." "Combs' lawyers cross-examined victim Jane the entire day and suggested that Jane chose to participate in the hotel nights. For the first time, we heard the defense's theory of their case," Rahmani said. "The testimony from the latest witness, Jane, continues to show the world that Mr. Combs is a sexual deviant." "Combs' lawyers also suggested that he was a drug addict and taking antidepressants, likely to play the sympathy card for the jury." During cross-examination, Jane said in 2022 she was trying to figure out her relationship with Diddy and came upon the term "cuckold," a word for a man turned on watching his woman have sex with another man. According to Jane, she wanted to know what was driving the rapper and to find an understanding of his alleged fantasies. She said she found multiple reasons, including that a "cuckold" derives pleasure from seeing his woman receive pleasure from another man. Jane testified that "cucks" could also have a curiosity that they were too ashamed to experience themselves, so they used a woman. Jane claimed Diddy liked to use voyeurism and escapism. "I would use the work 'cuck' for him," she told his defense lawyers. She also testified that Diddy was upfront with her about dating multiple women at the start of their relationship in 2021. She explained the rapper was "polyamorous" and she was OK with that at the time. She testified at first she didn't mind because she was just getting to know Diddy. According to Jane, she was forced to participate in "hotel nights." During these sessions, which could last from 24 hours to multiple days, she was allegedly expected to have sex with other men while Diddy watched. "Jane's testimony, voice notes and all, while chilling and demonstrate Mr. Combs' controlling behavior, does not, in my opinion, prove the government's case. Rather, it further depicts Mr. Combs as morally reprehensible and as such someone the jury should convict." While on the stand, Jane told defense lawyer Teny Geragos that she had been texting Diddy about him buying purses for another woman. Geragos commented that Jane received a bag of her own. "No, I only got trauma … after three-and-a-half years, I really don't think I garnered anything," Jane told the court. Geragos pressed, "How much do Bottega bags cost?" to which Jane replied, "How much does my body cost?" before asking the court for a break from testimony. When court resumed, Jane apologized to Geragos. "She claimed to be righteous and was going to walk away from Mr. Combs after her ask of '3 months' of continued financial support, but here we are over a year later and Mr. Combs is still paying her rent and legal fees as she testified against him," Seltzer said. "Is that the testimony of a victim? Is that the face of fear? I think Jane is primed to really help boost the defense case when all these points are honed in on." In a federal indictment unsealed on Sept. 17, Combs was charged with racketeering conspiracy (RICO); sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. If found guilty, he faces a minimum of 15 years behind bars or a maximum sentence of life in prison. He has maintained his innocence throughout the trial, in which witnesses have testified to alleged rape, sexual assault, severe physical abuse, forced labor and drug trafficking. The trial is expected to wrap by July 4.

Cam Jordan Draws Inspiration From House of the Dragon
Cam Jordan Draws Inspiration From House of the Dragon originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In the 2011 NFL Draft, the New Orleans drafted Cam Jordan out of Cal with the 24th pick. It was a brilliant move for the franchise. The future Hall of Fame defensive end, who turns 36 year old in July, is now entering year 15 in the Big Easy. Advertisement As we have seen before on numerous occasions for mini-camp and training camp arrivals, Cam is no stranger to a new hairstyle. This year, Jordan showed up with bleached blonde braids. He cited the HBO show 'House of the Dragon' which will start its third season in 2026 as his inspiration. The Game of Thrones spin-off first aired in 2022. "I wanted to be a Velaryon…and I was like you know what, this guy. This guy's got something going on. Now granted, I thought I'd do the beard, too, but I didn't like the way the fumes was rising. So I kept it exactly how I wanted to. I think this is me. I'll see how long it lasts." Jordan then told the assembled media, 'Honestly, I thought I was gonna cut it off but then I was like, let's have some fun with it. So, this is my version of fun. Advertisement According to the Westeros wiki, 'House Velaryon is an ancient and proud family, with the blood of old Valyria in in their veins. The Velaryons were the oldest and closest allies of the Targaryens for centuries.' The Saints will continue mini-camp tomorrow and Thursday. All practices take place at Ochsner Sports Performance Center in Metairie. Wednesday's practice begins at 11:50 a.m. CT and is sold out.
