As the legal fallout from the federal raid of Sean “Diddy” Combs Los Angeles and Miami homes and the alleged mistreatment of his son Christian “King” Combs by authorities during the ordeal (Christian and his brother were searched and handcuffed but not arrested during the raid) continues to play out in the court system and in the court of public opinion—the son and father were just named in a new suit this week

We told you earlier this week that King was name-dropped in the sexual assault lawsuit lobbed against his father by his former producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting a woman. Now, in a new lawsuit made public on Friday from Grace O’Marcaigh—a steward on the yacht Diddy frequently used to host guests and parties— alleges that King sexually assaulted her in back in late 2022. O’Marcaigh stopped short of accusing Diddy of wrongdoing, he’s named as a co-defendant in this suit for allegedly “aiding and abetting.”

Deadline has more:

“The make-up of the yacht quickly evolved from just DEFENDANT S. COMBS and his family to include a constant rotation of suspected sex workers and other A-List celebrities such as French Montana and actor Cuba Gooding, Jr,” the complaint states, with the “extremely unpleasant” Oscar winner making another appearance in another Combs lawsuit. “DEFENDANT S. COMBS turned what was sold as a wholesome family excursion into a hedonistic environment. According to PLAINTIFF, it resulted in an unexpected increase in workload for her and her colleagues as well as unwanted exposure to unlawful drug use, sex work, and general chaos…

…Christian Combs is said to have followed O’Marcaigh out of the recording studio down the hall, where he attempted to force the steward “to perform oral copulation on him” before another crew member walked in.

The next day, a bruised O’Marcaigh says she was “berated” by the captain of the boat for what happened. She was also ordered to continue to work around the Combs, and, with the captain supposedly getting “a generous tip” from the elder Combs, O’Marcaigh says she was fired from what had been her dream job a few months afterwards.

Per official court documents, O’Marcaigh is alleging seven total complaints against the two: assault, battery, sexual assault, premises liability, aiding and abetting, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. She’s seeking a jury trial and is being represented by Tyrone Blackburn—the same lawyer representing the aforementioned Lil Rod in his separate case.

In response to O’Marcaigh’s suit, Diddy’s lawyer Aaron Dyer criticized O’Marcaigh’s attorney in a statement to Deadline:

“This is just another lewd and meritless claim from Tyrone Blackburn — just like what he filed in the Rodney Jones lawsuit, which he still has not served. This complaint is filled with the same kind of manufactured lies and irrelevant facts we’ve come to expect from Blackburn.

This is exactly why the federal judge in New York slapped him two days ago for a ‘pattern of behavior’ in ‘improperly [filing] cases in federal court to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, and pressure defendants to settle quickly,’ and why he was referred to the disciplinary committee in the Southern District of New York. We will be filing a motion to dismiss this outrageous claim.”
