Ex-Stylist Deonte' Nash Sues Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Says He Lived in Fear for a Decade

Combs remains jailed ahead of sentencing after prostitution-related convictions.

Overview

  • Nash filed a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles accusing Combs and Bad Boy Entertainment of sexual, physical and emotional abuse, labor trafficking and threats of harm and death.
  • In a preview of his first TV interview, Nash says he feared for his life throughout his 2008–2018 employment, kept a go-bag to flee and alleges Combs strangled him multiple times.
  • The complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages, and Nash is demanding a jury trial.
  • Combs’ attorney Erica Wolff denies the allegations, calling the filing riddled with falsehoods and inconsistent with the trial record.
  • Nash previously testified at Combs’ federal criminal trial; Combs is scheduled to be sentenced Friday, with prosecutors seeking more than 11 years and the defense asking for no more than 14 months.
