Diddy faced another legal defeat when a judge denied her request to dismiss Jonathan Hay’s sexual assault lawsuit.
Diddy lost yet another legal battle when a judge dismissed her attempt to dismiss Jonathan Hay’s lewd sexual assault lawsuit.
Judge Michael E. Whitaker denied the music mogul’s motion, clearing the way for the case to proceed.
Didi argued that Hay failed to provide sufficient facts to support his claims, but the court disagreed entirely.
Music producer Hay came forward late last year and revealed that he was the “Jane Doe” who originally filed the lawsuit after Diddy’s criminal trial.
The producer claimed he had multiple disturbing incidents with the rapper, including being forced to perform oral sex on him.
Hay expressed the trauma of the alleged assault, saying he had been “violently violated and humiliated” from which he would never recover.
According to court documents, Hay claimed that during a studio session in 2020, Diddy exposed himself and asked Hay to touch him and perform sex acts on him.
When Hay tried to turn away, Diddy allegedly pushed herself into Hay’s face and told him to “suck it.” The alleged attack ceased when a loud bang interrupted the moment.
Hay also claimed that in another incident, Diddy masturbated on one of the late Biggie Smalls’ shirts and then threw it at him while saying “RIP Biggie.”
The allegations paint a picture of multiple instances of sexual misconduct, which Didi has consistently denied through his legal team.
Jonathan Davis, an attorney for the jailed mogul, released a statement saying the rapper “categorically denies all allegations that he sexually abused anyone as false and defamatory.” Davis added that Combs looks forward to defending himself in court based on admissible evidence and not speculation.
The judge’s decision means Hay’s case will move forward, joining hundreds of civil lawsuits against the jailed music executive.
Diddy was convicted of traffic prostitution charges in July 2025 and is currently serving a 50-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
He was admitted to a drug rehabilitation program and scheduled for early release on April 25, 2028.
