A former adult film actor claims he’s the man pictured in screenshots of an alleged Stevie J s*x tape in a lawsuit filed against Sean “Puffy” Combs.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr, a former music producer and videographer for Combs, claims he was repeatedly s*xually assaulted by Combs and his associates, including Stevie J.
Stevie J responded to the lawsuit in an Instagram post on Monday, Feb. 26, writing, “This lawsuit is bogus!”
Additionally, a Twitter/X user, @knockoutd33, responded to a post featuring the image. “That’s me smh,” he wrote.
He also responded to another post, writing, “This is not him it’s me yall really be trying it. Yes I was at diddys party now what?”
He didn’t provide any proof to back up his claims.
Jones, 37, produced Combs’ Grammy-nominated R&B album, The Love Album.
He claims Combs groped his genitals, touched his anus, and paraded around naked in front of Jones.
Jones said Combs downplayed the alleged assaults as just “horseplay.”
“Throughout his time with Mr. Combs, Mr. Jones witnessed, experienced, and endured many things that went far beyond his role as a Producer on the Love album,” the 73-page complaint says. “Mr. Combs required Mr. Jones to record him constantly… As a result, Mr. Jones has secured hundreds of hours of footage and audio records of Mr. Combs, his staff, and his guests engaging in serious illegal activity.”
In addition to Combs, Jones is suing Combs’s eldest son Justin, Combs’s chief of staff, Kristina Khorram; Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge; former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam, and record labels Motown and Love Records.
Jones is seeking at least $30 million in damages.
In a statement to TMZ, Combs’ attorney, Shawn Holley, said: “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”
Holley added, “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
