Diddy’s Longtime Stylist Sues Him For Sex Trafficking & Calls Job A “Nightmare”
LOS ANGELES, September 24, 2025 – Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing another lawsuit, this time from his longtime fashion stylist Deonte Nash, who accuses the music mogul of sexual battery, human trafficking, and false imprisonment.
The 37‑page complaint, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleges that Nash endured a decade of abuse while working for Combs between 2008 and 2018. Nash, who also styled Combs’ then‑girlfriend Cassie Ventura, describes his employment as a “nightmare” marked by harassment, violence, and manipulation.
According to the filing, Nash claims he was subjected to:
- Sexual harassment and assault, including unwanted touching and explicit remarks.
- Physical violence, such as an incident in 2013/2014 when Combs allegedly threw him onto a car and strangled him after learning Nash had dinner with Ventura.
- Invasion of privacy, including an alleged incident where Combs’ associates entered his home without permission, confiscated his keys and phone, and searched for Ventura.
Nash says he left the job in 2018 but only recently found the courage to file suit after testifying in Combs’ federal trial earlier this year. “Sean Combs has never taken accountability for the years of harm he inflicted on me and so many others,” Nash said in a statement.
Combs’ legal team has denied the allegations, calling Nash “an opportunist looking to profit off his proximity to celebrity” and describing the claims as “falsehoods”.
The lawsuit comes as Combs awaits sentencing on October 3 following his July conviction on two prostitution‑related charges. He was acquitted of more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
Nash’s case adds to a growing list of civil suits against Combs, including the 2023 lawsuit filed by Cassie Ventura that triggered a wave of similar claims.

As Diddy’s lawyers fight to get him released with time served, he has been hit with yet another lawsuit.
Now, it’s his longtime fashion stylist, Deonte Nash, who’s taking legal action against the fallen Hip-Hop mogul, accusing him of sexual battery, human trafficking, and false imprisonment.
According to TMZ, Nash says that during his decade working for Diddy, he considered his working conditions a “nightmare” that he was “forced to endure nearly every single day.”
The 37-page lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, states that Nash began working for Diddy in 2008, when he was 21 years old, and also provided his services to Diddy’s then-girlfriend, Cassie.
“Nash personally experienced sexual, physical, mental, and emotional abuse at the hands of Defendants during his ten-year employment,” the lawsuit reads, and includes allegations of “forced tests of loyalty and manipulation, sexual harassment and sexual assaults, physical violence and manhandling, labor trafficking, threats of harm, and threats of death.”
In one particular incident in 2013 or 2014, Nash alleges Diddy found out that he’d gone to dinner with Cassie without his permission. So the next day, Diddy reportedly threw Nash on top of a car and began strangling him.
Around the same time, Nash accuses Diddy of exposing himself to him and other staff members, groping him, and making “unwanted, inappropriate, sexually charged” remarks to him.
Then, in another incident fueled by paranoia over Cassie’s relationships, he alleges that Diddy’s crew entered his home without permission and “confiscated Mr. Nash’s keys and phone while they forcibly searched the house” for signs of Cassie.
Eventually, Nash grew tired of the job and left in 2018.
“After enduring years of abuse, I finally found the courage during the criminal trial, and I am now ready to take action,” Nash said in a statement, according to CBS. “Sean Combs has never taken accountability for the years of harm he inflicted on me and so many others.”
Nash has been vocal about the alleged crimes he witnessed Diddy commit, and even testified at his trial that he witnessed him hit Cassie, specifically one time when he grabbed her while she was sleeping and slammed her head against the bed frame as she began bleeding.
In July, Diddy was found guilty of two counts of prostitution-related charges, but acquitted on more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, and is set to be sentenced Oct. 3.
