The legal firestorm surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs just took another shocking turn.
Clayton Howard, a male escort prosecutors say was hired by Diddy, has filed a lawsuit against both Diddy and his former girlfriend Cassie, alleging years of sexual abuse, manipulation, and even a sexually transmitted disease.
Howard’s bombshell claims add to the already explosive narrative around Diddy, who was recently found guilty of transporting escorts across state lines for prostitution.
STD & Abortion Allegations Rock Hollywood
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Howard says he contracted an STD after having unprotected sex with Cassie. He also claims Cassie became pregnant by him and later had an abortion—without his knowledge—before allegedly continuing their sexual relationship.
Howard, who says he operated under the alias “Dave” while working for the couple, alleges the abuse started back in 2009 and spanned over five years.
“Trafficked for Sex and Fetishes”
Howard claims Diddy and Cassie trafficked him across state lines and forced him to engage in “freak-offs” to satisfy their sexual fetishes and personal ambitions.
🗣️ “I was manipulated, drugged, and traumatized for years while being used as entertainment,” Howard states in the lawsuit.
He says Cassie would pressure him to take ecstasy and participate in extreme sexual acts, including being ordered to masturbate for hours, which left him physically injured.
The Fallout: Emotional & Physical Scars
According to Howard, his dealings with Diddy and Cassie left him with:
- Physical and psychological injuries
- Lost wages and medical expenses
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
🗣️ “This toxic and abusive relationship between Diddy and Cassie often spilled over onto me as they manipulated me for their own satisfaction.”
The Bigger Picture: Diddy’s Legal Woes
Howard was not called as a witness but was repeatedly mentioned during Diddy’s high-profile federal trial.
A federal agent testified about Howard’s stays at luxury hotels like the Four Seasons and flights from NYC to L.A.—all allegedly paid for by Diddy.
In May, Diddy was acquitted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges but was convicted of transporting escorts across state lines for prostitution. He’s currently in custody and faces up to 20 years in prison.
Cassie & Diddy’s Teams Silent So Far
Representatives for both Diddy and Cassie have not responded to requests for comment.
The lawsuit piles on to an already massive scandal that has tarnished Diddy’s once-glittering reputation and cast a shadow over his decades-long career in music and business.
Fans React to Bombshell Lawsuit
Social media is ablaze with reactions to Howard’s claims:
🗣️ “This Diddy situation keeps getting darker every week.”
🗣️ “I feel so bad for everyone involved—when will it end?”
🗣️ “If even half of this is true, Diddy’s empire is done.”
