He was playing basketball for the Cleveland Cavaliers and never in Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nCombs\u2019 legal team dismissed the allegations, stating: \u201cThis complaint demonstrates the depraved lengths plaintiffs will travel to garner headlines in pursuit of a payday. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cNo sane person reading this complaint could credit this story. Mr. Combs looks forward to having his day in court where these lies \u2013 and the perverse motives of those who told them \u2013 will be revealed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe lawsuit states Joseph returned to his home in West Palm Beach after the alleged assault by Combs  and felt \u201ca greasy substance resembling Vaseline\u201d on his hand before losing consciousness. <\/p>\n<p>\nHe claims he later woke up in a vehicle being transported to a residence on Star Island Drive, Miami, owned by the Estefans. <\/p>\n<p>\nThe documents allege upon arrival, Gloria panicked at his condition and requested an ambulance, but Emilio intervened and prevented it.<\/p>\n<p>\nCombs is denying all charges against him.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/sean-diddy-combs-facing-new-lawsuit-florida-1416258.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 April 2025 Sean \u2018Diddy\u2019 Combs is facing a new lawsuit in Florida.
