Cuba Gooding Jr. Added As Defendant In Sexual Assault, Harassment Suit Against Diddy
HuffPost
Producer Rodney Jones alleges Gooding groped him during a 2023 trip on Combs' yacht and is now listing the actor as a defendant in his suit.
Producer Rodney Jones has amended his lawsuit against rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs to include actor Cuba Gooding Jr., court documents obtained by HuffPost can confirm.
Hours following federal raids on Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami properties on Monday, Jones amended his claim to list Gooding as a defendant, accusing him of sexual harassment and assault during a January 2023 trip on Combs’ yacht.
In his initial suit filed in February, Jones accused Combs of operating a racketeering enterprise, groping him and forcing him to engage in sexual acts with sex workers, among other claims.
Those first filings also included a section detailing the rapper’s “attempts to pass off” Jones to Gooding during a group trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands last year.
Gooding was not initially listed as a defendant in the suit, however.
