Lawsuit accuses Diddy of masturbating into Biggie's shirt, throwing it at man

Yahoo08-07-2025
NEW YORK — Sean 'Diddy' Combs may have been acquitted of federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges last week, but the Harlem-born mogul is already being accused of additional sexual misconduct in yet another in a long line of civil lawsuits, this one claiming he masturbated into a shirt owned by the Notorious B.I.G. and threw it onto another man.
An plaintiff, identified only as John Doe, is suing the 55-year-old Bad Boy Records founder for multiple misdeeds, including sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress, according to the filing obtained by TMZ. The outlet did not disclose the damages Doe is seeking.
Doe claims he was in a September 2020 listening session with Combs — who was convicted last week on two lesser counts of transporting individuals for prostitution — regarding a Notorious B.I.G. project, when Combs pressured him to take ketamine.
The men moved to a Los Angeles warehouse storing Biggie's clothes when Diddy allegedly started watching porn and took one of the late rapper's shirts to masturbate into it, ultimately calling on Doe to 'finish' him off. Combs allegedly did so before Doe could get his bearings and threw the shirt onto the latter, saying, 'RIP Biggie,' referring to late rapper Notorious B.I.G.
The alleged incident occurred during a listening session regarding a Biggie project, during which Combs is accused of having pressured Doe to take ketamine.
Years prior, Doe claims that Combs shoved his penis in the former's face in 2005, ordering him to 'suck it.'
'Mr. Combs' trial and acquittal on trafficking and RICO charges prove what we have been saying all along: Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone,' Diddy's lawyers told TMZ in a statement, following the outlet's initial report. 'That people continue to broadcast and file false accusations — no matter how heinous and uncorroborated — is unfortunate, but Mr. Combs. will not back down.'
His attorneys said that Diddy 'will fight for as long as necessary to win his full vindication,' which is now in question in over 60 lawsuits, included those filed by individuals who were minors at the time of Combs' alleged offenses.
Combs was facing life behind bars last week before a jury acquitted him of the most serious charges last week. He now faces a maximum 20-year sentence — 10 years each, with no minimum. Combs has been denied bond and will remain in custody until his sentencing, initially set by the judge for October.
A sentencing schedule hearing will take place Tuesday at which Combs' lawyers will push to move up the sentencing date.
Lawyers for Combs did not immediately respond to the Daily News' request for comment.

Quentin Tarantino Explains Why He 'Pulled The Plug' On ‘The Movie Critic' As His Final Film

After Deadline reported last year that Quentin Tarantino dropped The Movie Critic as his 10th and final film, he's providing some insight to the decision. The 2x Oscar winner recently explained that although he 'was very happy' with what he wrote originally as an eight-part series and then translated into a feature-length script but 'wasn't really that excited' when it came time for pre-production. More from Deadline Quentin Tarantino Drops 'The Movie Critic' As His Final Film Cliff Booth Lives & It's No April Fool's Joke: Netflix, David Fincher & Brad Pitt Resurrect Tarantino Script Quentin Tarantino Pays Tribute To Michael Madsen With 'Reservoir Dogs' Memory: "I'm On Your Side, Buddy" 'No one's waiting for this thing per se. I mean, I can do it whenever I want. I mean, it's already written. So OK, let me just not start it right now,' he explained his thought process on The Church of Tarantino podcast. 'Let me try writing it as a movie and let me see if it's better that way. And I was like, 'Oh, OK, no, I think this is going to be the movie.' And then it wasn't. I pulled the plug on it. And the reason I pulled the plug, it's a little crazy.' Although Tarantino said he 'really, really likes' The Movie Critic, he noted, 'But there was a challenge that I gave to myself when I did it. Can I take the most boring profession in the world and make it an interesting movie?' 'Every Tarantino title promises so much, except The Movie Critic,' he explained. 'Who wants to see a TV show about a f***ing movie critic? Who wants to see a movie called The Movie Critic? If I can actually make a movie or a TV show about somebody who watches movies interesting, that is an accomplishment. 'It's a spiritual sequel to Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood in so far as they take place in the same world and they take place in the same town. But there were no crossover characters. Cliff Booth was never in The Movie Critic. That's all a bunch of bull****. That never was the case ever, ever, ever.' Tarantino added, 'I was so excited about the writing, but I wasn't really that excited about dramatizing what I wrote once we were in pre-production.' After The Movie Critic was teased as Tarantino's farewell film in 2023, with Brad Pitt attached to star, Deadline exclusively reported last April that the auteur simply had a change of heart and opted not to move forward with the project. Sources close to the director said he was going back to the drawing board to figure out what that final movie will be. Tarantino said the movie was set in 1977 California, 'based on a guy who really lived but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a porno rag.' Although a spiritual sequel to Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019) isn't in the cards for Tarantino's final directorial outing, Pitt is reprising his role as stuntman Cliff Booth for the upcoming Netflix movie off-shoot The Adventures of Cliff Booth, directed by David Fincher.

Firefighters warn about tabletop fire pits after explosion inside Massachusetts home

By AARON PARSEGHIAN Firefighters in Avon, Massachusetts are warning residents about the dangers of tabletop fire pits after one exploded inside a home Thursday night, leaving a person with third-degree burns across their body. Assistant Fire Chief Brad Cronin said the victim was using isopropyl alcohol to ignite the small device when it erupted in flames, burning at temperatures around 1,600 degrees. The fire pit used liquid fuel and a cotton wick; a combination Cronin described as inherently dangerous. "These have been increasingly more popular from online retailers or mercantile stores," Cronin said. "Having an open flame device and a pouring of liquid into something that's already hot or maybe ignited just creates a very high fire risk. We'd caution anybody to not use this type of product." Similar products have been linked to serious injuries in the past, including the deaths of a 93-year-old New Hampshire couple last summer after a fire pit explosion. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning late last year advising people not to buy or use liquid-fueled tabletop fire pits. In October 2024, Colsen recalled a fire pit device due to risk of serious burn injury. "Fire pits that require consumers to pour isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or other liquid fuel into an open container or bowl and then ignite the pooled liquid in the same location it was poured violate the requirements in voluntary safety standard ASTM F3363-19. ASTM F3363-19 is designed to prevent pool fires in which flames burn along the surface of pooled or spilled flammable liquids, and flame jetting in which flames erupt from containers of liquid fuel," reads the 2024 warning from CPSC. Cronin said their thoughts are with the injured resident and urged anyone considering a fire pit to purchase only models labeled as meeting safety standards and never use them indoors.

Final former Salisbury University student sentenced to 18 months for off-campus attack

The 14th and final former Salisbury University student convicted of an off-campus attack in 2024 was sentenced this week to 18 months in prison, according to court documents. Zachary Leinemann, 19, was one of 15 students who were initially charged with false imprisonment, assault and a hate crime offense after one of them created a Grindr account and posed as a teen to lure a victim to an apartment near the university campus. Grindr is a dating app used mostly by gay and bisexual men. The victim was slapped, punched and kicked by "approximately 15 college-aged males," who also spat on and called the victim an anti-gay slur, according to investigators. Once the victim escaped, he was hospitalized for a broken rib. An investigation led to the arrests of 15 university students, who initially faced a laundry list of charges, including felony assault and hate crime charges. The charges were later reduced to misdemeanor false imprisonment and assault for most of the suspects. According to university officials, the students were banned from campus property, virtual and online classes, and university-sponsored events. They were also suspended by their Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity chapter. One of the former students, Benjamin Brandenburg, was acquitted. Leinemann was sentenced to six years, with all but 18 months suspended. He was also ordered to serve three years of probation, court records show. He pleaded guilty to assault and false imprisonment on August 14. The additional 14 attackers all pleaded guilty and have been sentenced. Here's how much time they got, according to court records:
