King Combs has been hit with a sexual assault lawsuit.

TMZ reports that a woman named Grace O'Marcaigh is the woman behind the complaint, who claims to have audio recordings of Combs trying to touch her during a 2022 yacht party. O'Marcaigh was a steward at the party, which was chartered by Diddy just before New Year’s Eve that year.

According to court docs, King became obsessed with her during the party and wouldn’t leave her alone. O'Marcaigh accuses him of attempting to kiss and grope her as she tried to fend him off. The audio recordings purportedly reveal her telling Diddy’s son that she didn’t want to have sex with him. He allegedly repeatedly cornered her, but she successfully got away.

She accuses King of attempting to make her perform oral sex on him—and says that when she managed to escape, he bruised her forearm. She says the incident led to mental and emotional suffering.

Diddy is also a defendant in the lawsuit, with O'Marcaigh saying he’s liable since it was his party. She accuses the hip-hop mogul of aiding and abetting King in the alleged assault. She says that she saw Diddy with “sex workers” and that he exposed him to Yung Miami—all of which was apparently filmed by a Hulu camera crew.

Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones was apparently present at the yachty party. His lawyer, Tyrone Blackburn, is representing O'Marcaigh.

“We have not seen this woman’s claim but I’m sure we can expect the same kind of manufactured lies we’ve come to expect from Tyrone Blackburn and his clients, just as we saw in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit—which has yet to be served,” Diddy's attorney Aaron Dyer told the outlet.
