Christian Combs, son of rapper, producer and businessman Sean Diddy Combs is accused of sexual assault in a new lawsuit that names both men
A woman alleges that Sean “Diddy” Combs’ son, Christian “King” Combs, sexually assaulted her while she was an employee on his father’s yacht.
In a new complaint filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court and obtained by NBC News, Grace O’Marcaigh accused Christian, 26, of sexual assault, sexual harassment and infliction of emotional distress while she was working on a boat chartered by the rapper for a trip in late December 2022.
O’Marcaigh said in the filing, per NBC News, that she had been 25-years-old at the time and worked as a steward on the yacht providing dinner and drink service to guests from 6 p.m.
to 6 a.m. During her shift, she said she saw a
“constant rotation of suspected sex workers” and celebrities partying and taking drugs.
She claimed in the complaint that “around” Dec. 28, 2022 Christian boarded the yacht to record with music producer Rodney “Lil Rod”
Jones – who also filed a lawsuit accusing Diddy of sexual assault. She alleged that when Diddy’s son came aboard, he was “heavily intoxicated” and paid particular attention to her.
O’Marcaigh then claimed in the complaint that he pressured her to take a shot of tequila, and after she took the drink, he became aggressive and tried to get her to drink more. She said she
“quickly suspected” that the tequila had been spiked – after previously witnessing other women fall over and pass out after one drink
– and became fearful of its effects. She claimed that things then “escalated” and Christian allegedly began groping her body and private parts.
The complaint claimed to have audio recordings taken by Jones — two of which were reviewed by NBC News — of O’Marcaigh “declining alcohol, saying she had to leave and telling Christian Combs to stop touching her with what sounds like kissing noises in the background.”
O’Marcaigh said in the complaint that she was finally able to leave the studio and attempted to get back to her duties. However, she said Christian found her again later in the night and insisted that she find him a place to sleep. She claimed that after she directed him to the yacht cinema, which was another sleeping space, he blocked her in and began groping her.
She alleged that he had “grabbed her arms” and was trying to “force” her to “perform oral sex on him,” and even included photos of bruising on her arms that she claimed were caused by Christian grabbing her, according to NBC News. O’Marcaigh said she fought him off until someone else walked into the room.
She said in the filing that she complained to the yacht captain the next day, but alleged that he did not believe her and that he did not investigate. She also claimed that he retaliated against her until she was let go a few months later in May 2023.
Following her job termination, she claimed in the lawsuit that her mental health deteriorated and she suffered from anxiety, panic attacks and severe suicidal ideations. She also claimed she developed an eating disorder and epileptic seizures as a result of the incident.
Diddy was also named as a defendant in the lawsuit for aiding and abetting his son in the alleged assault and under premises liability as the person who chartered the yacht.
“Like father, like son. It gives us no joy or pleasure in filing this suit against Christian Combs,” O’Marcaigh’s attorney Tyrone Blackburn said in a statement to NBC News of the latest lawsuit.
“… I applaud Grace for being so brave to come forward with her truth,” her other attorney Rodney S. Diggs added. “Hopefully her story will inspire others to come forward.”
The allegations, meanwhile, are the latest in a string of lawsuits alleging abuse that the rapper is facing, though he has previously denied all accusations.
