Sean "Diddy" Combs has been spotted in public for the first time since at least five sexual assault lawsuits were filed against him.
In the footage which can be seen below, Diddy was accompanied by his sons Justin and Christian Combs as they headed out for drinks in Los Angeles. The three didn't stop to answer any questions from photographers at the scene, but Diddy did smile at the group. Prior to his return to Los Angeles, Diddy was reportedly laying low at one of his properties in Miami.
In November last year, Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie filed a lawsuit against the Bad Boy Records founder accusing him of rape, abuse, and sex trafficking. The case was settled "amicably" for an undisclosed agreement just one day later, but the fallout from the lawsuit was swift.
A week after Cassie's lawsuit, another woman filed a lawsuit against Diddy accusing him of drugging her and sexually assaulting her while she was a student at Syracuse University in 1991. Shortly after, a third woman filed a sexual assault lawsuit against him. The following month, he was hit with a fourth assault lawsuit in which he was accused of raping a 17-year-old girl in 2003. This month a judge ruled that her case cannot proceed unless she reveals her identity.
More recently, Diddy's former producer and videographer Rodney Jones accused him of sexual assault multiple times. Jones also named Diddy's son Justin Combs in the lawsuit, which included multiple other defendants such as Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge and Diddy's head of staff Kristina Khorram.
Diddy has denied all the allegations against him.
