The newly filed lawsuit alleges that Christian Combs sexually assaulted a woman while she was working on a yacht his father chartered for a trip in 2022, according to NBC News.
Filed on Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Grace O’Marcaigh accuses the 26-year-old of sexually assaulting her in December 2022 while she was working on a boat charter that had been “sold as a wholesome family excursion,” instead turning into a “hedonistic environment.”
The lawsuit claims the alleged incident occurred just a few days before the Bad Boy mogul hosted a New Year’s Eve yacht party with a bunch of celebrity guests in attendance.
These allegations are the latest in a wave of damning accusations against the family, with multiple lawsuits accusing the 54-year-old of sexual assault, sex trafficking, and more. Combs and his legal team continue to deny all of the allegations.
In the suit, Christian Combs is accused of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and infliction of emotional distress. As the one who chartered the yacht, his father is being sued for premises liability and for aiding and abetting his son in the alleged assault.
“Like father, like son,” said O’Marcaigh’s attorney Tyrone Blackburn after the suit was filed. “It gives us no joy or pleasure in filing this suit against Christian Combs who has clearly adopted his father’s pattern and practice of depravity.”
O’Marcaigh, who was 25 at the time of the alleged incident, was working as a steward providing dinner and drink service on the yacht, allegedly witnessing partying and drug use between a “constant rotation of suspected sex workers” and celebrities, according to the suit. In her complaint, she reveals that she also suspected bottles of alcohol were laced with drugs because women began to “pass out” after just one drink.
She goes on to claim that Christian pressured her into taking tequila shots from a bottle she suspected had been spiked.
The situation “escalated” once Combs allegedly groped O’Marcaigh’s legs, breast, anus and vagina, according to the suit. The complaint details audio recordings in which O’Marcaigh can allegedly be heard declining alcohol, trying to leave, and telling Christian to stop touching her with what seem to be kissing noises in the background.
The audio was recorded by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, the producer who was in the studio during the alleged assault. He has his own lawsuit against Diddy, in which he claims that he was required to record Combs “constantly” and had hours of footage in which the music mogul and his staff allegedly engaged in criminal conduct.
