Overview

• Deonte Nash filed a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles alleging repeated sexual battery, physical assault, stalking, threats, and human trafficking during his employment from roughly 2008 to 2018.
• The filing describes specific incidents, including groping, forced contact with Combs’ penis, grinding against Nash’s groin, and episodes of choking during confrontations tied to Casandra Ventura.
• Bad Boy Entertainment and Combs Global are named as co-defendants, with claims also citing gender violence, sexual orientation violence, false imprisonment, and destructive discharge.
• Nash, who testified at Combs’ New York criminal trial earlier this year, says threats continued after his employment ended and seeks compensatory and punitive damages and a jury trial.
• Combs remains in federal custody after convictions on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and awaits Oct. 3 sentencing, while he and his lawyers have denied allegations of sexual misconduct.
