In a new suit against Sean Combs, Celebrity Stylist Deonte Nash alleges that the music mogul trapped him in a "Dark World" of prepeutal battery, physical and sexual assault, and stalking. The hostile environment turned the dream of working in the entertainment industry into a nightmare. The complaint, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles, claimed Mr. Combs groped his Buttocks, grinded on his groin, and forcefully moved Nash's hand onto Mr. Combs's genitals. These events occurred while Nash was working for Mr. Combs and his former partner, Cassandra "Cassie" Venture, from 2008 to 2018.
Multiple incidents occurred during Nash's professional career working with Mr. Combs. During an incident from 2013, Nash recalls feeling imminent fear for his life during an altercation with Mr. Combs. This event was just one of many that plagued Nash during his decade of work with Mr. Combs. Nash expressed his courage in coming up with a lawsuit that sprang from the recent criminal trial against Mr. Combs. "Combs used his power and threats of harm to compel Mr. Nash to do his bidding and prevent him from leaving defendants' control." The lawsuit filed by Singleton Screiber Attorneys Brett Schreiber, Katie Llamas, Meagan Verschueren, and Kristina Aiad-Toss alleges Mr. Combs was "obsessed" with Nash's homosexuality. The lawsuit points to human trafficking, assault, battery, sexual battery, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, gender violence, sexual orientation violence, and destructive discharge.
