Overview
- In a CBS Mornings interview aired Friday, Deonte’ Nash says he felt unsafe throughout his 2008–2018 employment, kept a go-bag, and alleges he was strangled multiple times.
- Nash’s Los Angeles lawsuit names Sean Combs and Bad Boy Entertainment, alleging sexual, physical and emotional abuse, labor trafficking, and threats of harm and death, and seeks compensatory and punitive damages with a jury trial.
- Nash says the case is not about money and that he only recently felt able to speak publicly after serving as a prosecution witness at Combs’ federal trial.
- Combs’ attorney Erica Wolff rejects Nash’s account as false and says court records show Combs never sexually assaulted anyone; Combs was convicted in July on two transportation-for-prostitution counts and acquitted on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
- Combs, jailed in Brooklyn for about 13 months, is scheduled to be sentenced Friday, with prosecutors seeking more than 11 years and the defense urging no more than 14 months.
