To put it mildly, 2024 has been a bad year for Sean Combs. The hip-hop mogul, better known as "Diddy", was once regarded as a giant of the industry, a figure too large in stature to be toppled, a rapper/producer hybrid described as "too big to fail". But fail, he has.
Combs is facing serious charges that include racketeering and sex trafficking, and they form the bulk of federal authorities' case against the 55-year-old. These same authorities raided Combs' homes in Miami and Los Angeles back in March prior to placing him under arrest in September; his trial is set for May 2025, but it is unknown if Diddy's large family will be able to withstand the strain under which he has placed them.
Diddy's son served amidst sexual assault allegation
Christian "King" Combs, Diddy's 26-year-old son, has been sued by a yacht stewardess over his alleged actions during a yacht party in 2022. Combs the younger stands accused of assault, battery, sexual misconduct, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The lawsuit has been filed by Grace O'Marcaigh, who alleged that the 2022 incident with King Combs "derailed her career and personal life". According to the filing, O'Marcaigh has alleged that King forcibly grabbed her before coercing her to consume a spiked alcoholic beverage -- she claims she was able to escape being cornered in a private room by Diddy's son after he exposed himself to her, and that the incident caused her to lose her long-time partner in addition to her job as a stewardess.
The lawsuit is arguably the last thing the Combs family needed, given the patriarch's troubles with the law amidst a wave of sexual misconduct allegations. Diddy's attempts to leave Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center have been denied repeatedly; not even a $50 million bail package has been deemed sufficient in light of the accusations that Combs and his legal team have fielded.
