New Diddy Accuser Claims Beyoncé, JAY-Z, LeBron James Witnessed Victim Post-Assault
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is currently being sued for human trafficking by a Florida man named Joseph Manzaro. The alleged victim claims that Diddy sexually assaulted and humiliated him at one of his infamous 'freak-offs' from April 2015 and that JAY-Z, Beyoncé, LeBron James, and Gloria Estefan all saw him throughout the night. The alleged incident took place during a birthday party for Diddy's son, Christian Combs, and the disgraced mogul allegedly shamed Manzaro by 'strapping a penis to his face and parading him around.' Per a federal indictment, a 'freak-off' involved Diddy, a male sex worker, and another woman. In the lawsuit, according to TMZ, Manzaro claimed to have been drugged and transported to Star Island in Miami for the party. He was first dragged to the back entrance of Emilio and Gloria Estefan's mansion, where the singer saw him in a 'drug-induced stupor' and demanded an ambulance. Emilio allegedly silenced her and they returned to the party. James allegedly said to Manzaro, 'Y'all better do something about that,' as he was seen roaming the halls in a towel. Another Diddy accuser, Adria English, allegedly led Manzaro through a secret tunnel in Diddy's home and it was then he noticed Beyoncé and JAY-Z. He claims she questioned, 'What's this? What's this all about? Why is this half-naked white man with a c**k mask standing here in front of me?' A member of Diddy's entourage allegedly replied, 'Diddy wants him to see what we do to snitches. This is part of his punishment.' As he was 'forcibly paraded' around, Manzaro claims Diddy shouted, 'He's gonna find out what we do to snitches tonight. Get him undressed!' He was left to wear a small thong and a black leather mask with the rubber attachment 'forcibly inserted and zipped closed over his head.' Manzaro said that 'a locking sex device was affixed to the mask, protruding from his mouth' as Diddy and Adria allegedly subjected him to degrading and non-consensual acts. Later in the evening, Manzaro said celebrity jeweler Jacob Arabo appeared to be 'visibly disturbed' when running into him. Arabo asked, 'What's this? What's going on with this guy? Why is he standing here staring at me with a penis strapped to his face?' TMZ noted that JAY-Z was in New York City on the date of the alleged party for a TIDAL speaking engagement. VIBE did reach out to Roc Nation for a comment. However, neither he, Beyoncé, LeBron James, Gloria Estefan, or Jacob Araboare being sued. Manzaro is only suing Diddy, Emilio Estefan, Adria English, Diddy's alleged drug mule Brendan Paul, and others. Combs' legal team said in a statement to TMZ, 'This complaint demonstrates the depraved lengths plaintiffs will travel to garner headlines in pursuit of a payday. No sane person reading this complaint could credit this story. Mr. Combs looks forward to having his day in court where these lies — and the perverse motives of those who told them — will be revealed.'
