Music producer and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing new allegations of human trafficking while awaiting a federal trial. A man named Joseph Manzaro has filed a lawsuit in Florida, claiming he was drugged, kidnapped, and abused in 2015 as part of a criminal operation allegedly involving Combs.
Manzaro says he was knocked unconscious after touching a greasy substance on his front door. He claims he was then taken to a mansion linked to Combs, where he was forced to participate in a disturbing event. He alleges that celebrities like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and LeBron James were present at the party.
According to the lawsuit, Beyoncé questioned why Manzaro was standing there in a revealing outfit. The lawsuit also states that Manzaro was mistreated, stripped, and assaulted before waking up in a different location, injured and abandoned.
Manzaro claims that before entering Combs’ home, he was seen by singer Gloria Estefan, her husband Emilio, and basketball star LeBron James. He alleges that Gloria wanted to call an ambulance, but Emilio stopped her. He also says LeBron commented that something needed to be done about the situation.
However, representatives for Jay-Z, LeBron James, and the Estefans deny these claims, stating that they were not in Miami when the incident allegedly happened.
Diddy’s legal team strongly denies these accusations, calling them false and meant to grab attention. Meanwhile, Combs is already facing a federal case where prosecutors accuse him of organizing disturbing parties involving trafficking. He has pleaded not guilty and remains in jail while awaiting trial.
This lawsuit adds more controversy to an already serious legal situation for the music mogul. More details are expected to emerge as the case moves forward.
