Diddy's Ex-Stylist Claims Rapper Made Him Fear For His Life The 'Whole Time' He Was Employed

An ex-stylist who worked with Sean "Diddy" Combs for about a decade has come forward with troubling allegations against him ahead of his sentencing on October 3.

Deonte' Nash alleged in a new lawsuit that the embattled rapper physically and sexually abused him for years, and left him fearing for his life the "whole time."

Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyers have denied the allegations, stating that Nash's claims are "riddled with falsehoods" and calling it an "insult" to the music mogul.

In a new interview on "CBS Mornings," Diddy's former stylist detailed how he lived in constant terror the "whole time" he was under the rapper's employment.

Deonte Nash, who testified against Diddy in his criminal sex trial earlier this year, explained that he felt it necessary to keep an emergency "to-go bag" packed with cash and clothes to be able to run away should things turn dark at any point, per CBS News.

"I said, 'He's going to kill us. He is going to kill us,'" he told host Jericka Duncan during the sit-down, going on to lament how isolated and afraid to speak out he was because he didn't think help was going to come.

"Who are we going to tell? Like, who exactly were we going to tell? Who are we going to call? Ghostbusters?" he asked, shaking his head. "There was no one there to save us."

Diddy's legal trouble was intensified last week after Nash filed a new lawsuit accusing him of physical and sexual abuse.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Diddy and Bad Boy Entertainment, also levels explosive allegations of sexual battery, human trafficking, and false imprisonment during his employment.

Nash complained in the court document that he "personally experienced sexual, physical, mental, and emotional abuse" at the hands of the defendants, including "forced tests of loyalty and manipulation, sexual harassment and sexual assaults, physical violence and manhandling, labor trafficking, threats of harm, and threats of death."

Nash's lawsuit stated that Diddy sexually abused the plaintiff on "multiple occasions," which was what prompted him to resign in 2018, but Diddy "continued to threaten Mr. Nash after his employment ended."

In one incident he claims happened in 2013 or 2014, Nash alleged that Diddy "threw" him onto a car and "violently strangled him" after he and the rapper's then-girlfriend, Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura, went to grab dinner without telling him.

In another instance, which happened in 2014, the lawsuit stated that Diddy and his security details entered Nash's house without permission and "confiscated Mr. Nash's keys and phone while they forcibly searched the house" for Cassie.

Nash is seeking general, compensatory, and punitive damages.

Diddy's lawyers have denied the allegations, with attorney Erica Wolff issuing a statement saying the complaint is "riddled with falsehoods and stands in stark contrast to the record" established in court, per CBS News.

"Mr. Nash's tabloid-style accusations are insulting not only to Mr. Combs, but also to the countless individuals who worked honorably and professionally within his companies," Wolff said in the statement.

"In court, the truth will prevail, as it did in his criminal trial: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman. Mr. Combs looks forward to clearing his name again in a court of law where truth matters," the lawyer added.

Nash's accusation comes ahead of Diddy's sentencing on Friday after he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

The "I Need A Girl" rapper faced trial back in May following a federal investigation into his lifestyle, but was discharged of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges.

He faces up to 10 years in jail for each count of the conviction, but his lawyers want the judge to hand him nothing more than 14 months' imprisonment, of which he has served 13 out of, after being locked behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest in September last year.

Several of his family members have called for his release, and his fellow inmates have also sent the judge positive letters about how Diddy's business course has positively impacted their lives.
