On March 26, a professional photographer from Hollywood filed a lawsuit against Diddy in the New York State Supreme Court, alleging s*xual battery. He has filed the case under the pseudonym John Doe to protect his identity.

As reported by USA Today, the incident reportedly took place during a commercial shoot around 2022 or 2023. The photographer, who was hired for work, claims that Diddy pressured him to perform oral s*x in his trailer to maintain his career. The photographer claims to be a straight male.

According to the lawsuit, Diddy asked the photographer to come to his trailer and later tried to perform oral s*x with the photographer. The photographer claims that Diddy told him that if he did it right, Diddy would help him with his career.

The photographer added he did what Diddy asked to save his career. According to the lawsuit, he later faced emotional and psychological trauma after the incident.

Soon after the lawsuit was filed, Tony Buzbee uploaded a post on his Instagram account with the details of the case. Along with the information about the case and what happened, Buzbee added,

"According to the filed complaint, plaintiff asserts that Combs encouraged him to join him in his trailer for an opportunity to advance his career. Plaintiff did so. Plaintiff alleges that the s*xual assault occurred there. The specifics and details of the claims are set forth in the case, on file, in New York state court. The facts alleged speak for themselves."

Buzbee also responded to the ongoing news about his withdrawal from the cases against Diddy by adding,

"I’ve come to learn that some organizations report and post “news”items they know are untrue, or know are misleading—to get views and clicks. One such item was that I’ve bowed out of all of the Diddy litigation. Let’s be clear. You heard it here first. I have NOT withdrawn from all the Diddy cases. Period. Indeed, that couldn’t be further from the truth."
