Sean "Diddy" Combs Accused of Forcing Staff to Handle Illegal Drugs, Lawsuit Claims
Sean "Diddy" Combs faces new legal allegations from former employees who claim they were forced to handle illegal substances at his events. This lawsuit adds to existing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering against the music mogul.

The lawsuit, filed in New York court, alleges that Combs required staff to maintain and carry various drugs, including:
- "Pink cocaine" (a mixture containing 2C-B and ketamine)
- Ecstasy
- Cocaine
- Marijuana edibles
Former employees describe a "pervasive coercion" culture at Bad Boy Entertainment, where they felt obligated to comply with these demands or risk losing their jobs. The complaint details a toxic work environment characterized by:
- Intimidation tactics
- Verbal abuse
- Fear of retribution
- High-pressure situations
While the lawsuit doesn't accuse Combs of direct drug use, it alleges he established expectations for staff to supply these substances at his gatherings. Staff members report facing reprimands for not maintaining adequate drug supplies at events.
This case joins other ongoing legal challenges against Combs, including federal investigations into sex trafficking, racketeering, and physical abuse allegations. The lawsuit's outcome could potentially set precedents for workplace misconduct handling in the entertainment industry, particularly involving high-profile figures.
Legal experts suggest this case, combined with previous allegations, could significantly impact how the entertainment industry addresses workplace safety and ethical concerns moving forward.
