One of the most respected executives in the Rap industry is hoping to clear his name. Harve Pierre has formally denied the recent allegations against him.
TMZ is reporting that the former president of Bad Boy Entertainment is speaking out against some very damming accusations. In an exclusive statement shared with the celebrity news website the man formerly known as Joe Hooker vehemently denies claims that he participated in sexual assault against a minor. “This is a tale of fiction,” he said. “I have never participated in, witnessed, nor heard of anything like this, ever. These disgusting allegations are false and a desperate attempt for financial gain.” Pierre added “I will vigorously protect my reputation and defend my name. Those who know me recognize that these claims are not true.”
The latest lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs also claimed Pierre groomed an unidentified Detroit teen by flying her out on a private plane to New York City for a recording session. There at the studio she says men assaulted her in the bathroom while Pierre smoked crack cocaine from a Pepsi can. The filing states the abuse occurred on multiple occasions throughout 2016 and 2017.
Bad Boy Entertainment founder Diddy has found himself also fighting to keep a good name with multiple lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct. On December 6 he finally spoke up with a post shared throughout all his social media channels. “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”, the statement read. “FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE SAT SILENTLY AND WATCHED PEOPLE TRY TO ASSASSINATE MY CHARACTER, DESTROY MY REPUTATION AND MY LEGACY. SICKENING ACCUSATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AGAINST ME BY INDIVIDUALS LOOKING FOR A QUICK PAYDAY.” He added “LET ME BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR. I DID NOT DO ANY OF THE AWFUL THINGS BEING ALLEGED. I WILL FIGHT FOR MY NAME, MY FAMILY AND FOR THE TRUTH. SEAN DIDDY COMBS.”
On November 18 Diddy reached a settlement with former girlfriend and Bad Boy Entertainment recording artist Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura. As per his lawyer Ben Brafman the settlement “is in no way an admission of wrongdoing.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs is finding out that multiple sexual assault allegations are bad for business. The Hip-Hop mogul is starting to see companies that were once loyal to him have begun to cut ties after the whirlwind of controversy surrounding him that started when Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a lawsuit that claimed he had sexually abused her for years.
Even before Diddy quickly settled the case with Cassie out of court, many speculated that more accusers would come forward with allegations of their own. As of the publication of this story three more women have come forward. The most recent lawsuit claims that Diddy, and two other associates including former Bad Boy exec Harve Pierre, allegedly raped a 17-year-old after flying her out to NYC from Detroit via a private.
The more recent case (at the time of this post) is what made Diddy issued a statement that was “enough was enough,” and he would fight to defend his reputation.
Diddy has always been a hustler, with his hands in multiple business lanes in music, fashion, philanthropy and more. But now some of those entities have started distancing themselves from Diddy, and publicly, too.
We’ve compiled a list of who has dropped Diddy, so far.
1. REVOLT

This one was voluntary. On Tuesday, November 28, REVOLT announced that Diddy would be stepping down from his Chairman position at the company he founded 10 years ago.
2. Various (via Empower Global)
Empire Global is a marketplace backed by Diddy that touts a “Black-Owned Shopping Experience” by offering platforms for up-and-coming brands. According to Rolling Stone, about 19 of those brands no longer want anything to do with Diddy and have jumped ship since the allegations came about.
3. Capital Preparatory Schools

Diddy had a long and fruitful relationship with the Capital Preparatory Schools that include campuses in the Bronx and Harlem, even paying a surprise visit to the former in late 2022. However, “Following a comprehensive evaluation, a decision has been made to end the partnership between Capital Preparatory Schools and Sean Combs,” said founder Dr. Steve Perry in a statement. “While this decision was not made lightly, we firmly believe it is in the best interest of our organization’s health and future.”

50 Cent is making a documentary on the recent lawsuits against Diddy—and will donate proceeds of the film to sexual assault victims.
As news of a fourth lawsuit filed against Diddy for alleged sexual assault has the public buzzing, 50 Cent is on the offensive by announcing the production of a documentary about the embattled music mogul. On Wednesday (December 6), the rapper shared a clip of former Bad Boy Records artist Mark Curry on camera alleging how Diddy aka Sean Combs would spike bottles of Moet champagne and serve them specifically to women who attended his parties.
When contacted by Entertainment Tonight, a representative for 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson and G-Unit Film and TV confirmed that the documentary was in production. “I can confirm that the untitled ‘Diddy’ documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson serving as Executive Producer, proceeds from this documentary that G-Unit Film & Television receives will go to victims of sexual assault and rape,” the representative said in a statement.
50 Cent has been vocal about Diddy’s alleged misdeeds for quite some time, from trolling the “Can I Live” rapper about allegedly being behind the murder of Tupac Shakur to offering to buy the Revolt TV network after the mogul stepped down in the wake of the sexual abuse lawsuit against him by his former flame, Cassie Ventura. But the clip posted on Instagram also contained a veiled shot at Rick Ross, seen through a clip of Diddy with Ross at an event that was interspersed with Ross’s infamous lyrics from his “U.O.E.N.O.” track with Rocko from 2013: “Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it.”
The latest lawsuit against Diddy alleges that he and others including Bad Boy Records exec Harve Pierre participated in a “gang rape” of the victim, who was 17, in 2003. On Wednesday, Diddy posted a statement to his own Instagram account. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” he wrote. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me (be) absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”

A fourth alleged victim has come forward to file a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, but this time he isn’t staying quiet. The Bad Boy Records founder issued a statement saying “enough is enough” while adamantly denying all the accusations of sexual assault and abuse against him.
On Wednesday, December 6, a Jane Doe filed a lawsuit against Diddy accusing him of sexual assaulting her when she was a 17-year-old high-school student. This is the fourth in a series of lawsuits that began when his ex-girlfriend and ex-Bad Boy Records artist Casandra “Cassie” Ventura sued Diddy and accused him of years of sexual abuse. The case was quickly settled, but two more women, one publicly and another a Jane Doe, came forward with their own lawsuits, the latter also alleging that she was sexually assaulted by Diddy and R&B singer Aaron Hall.
Reportedly, the same lawyers who filed the complaint on Cassie’s behalf also handled the latest lawsuit, which also comes with a “trigger warning.”
Diddy took to social media to adamantly deny any and all allegations. “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” says the all-caps statement. “FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I HAVE SAT SILENTLY AND WATCHED PEOPLE TRY TO ASSASSINATE MY CHARACTER, DESTROY MY REPUTATION AND MY LEGACY. SICKENING ACCUSATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AGAINST ME BY INDIVIDUALS LOOKING FOR A QUICK PAYDAY.”
He added, “LET ME BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR. I DID NOT DO ANY OF THE AWFUL THINGS BEING ALLEGED. I WILL FIGHT FOR MY NAME, MY FAMILY AND FOR THE TRUTH.”
Per Variety, the most recent, Diddy as well as former Bad Boy Records exec Harve Pierre, is accused of gang raping a 17-year-old girl in 2003. The victim alleges that she was flown out from her Detroit home via private jet to New York City, where after being given “copious amounts” of alcohol and drugs Diddy raped her over a bathroom sink while she went in and out of consciousness. She also claims that she was raped by Pierre and a third man.
The complaint, which was filed in New York State Federal Court, also includes blurred-out photos of the victim in Combs’ old Daddy’s House studio and sitting in the mogul’s lap.
The detailed allegations have led to a field day on social media. We’ve compiled some of the more poignant reactions in the gallery. Be mindful that some of them can be triggering.

Days after Diddy’s former bodyguard, Roger Bonds, co-signed Cassie’s story about Diddy’s abusive ways, the man is seemingly walking back his statements and “clarifying” his initial remarks.
Over the weekend, Diddy’s former head of security, Roger Bonds, took to Instagram to backtrack on his previous statements in which he spoke about having to break up fights between Diddy and Cassie. He explained that what he saw was actually more in-tune with everyday relationship problems that couples go through. Sure, guy.
Sitting in his car and once again opening up about the Diddy and Cassie situation, Bonds went on to clarify what he meant when speaking about what he witnessed just days before stating: “This ain’t about nothin’ yo. I seen Cassie and Diddy fight. Yeah, I seen them fight—just like everybody else fight. Just like I fight. Just like y’all fight with your man and y’all fight with your girl.”
This isn’t suspicious at all…
The post comes days after Roger appeared to co-sign Cassie’s abuse allegations against Diddy and insinuated that he had witnessed more than what the general public knew.
Why Roger Bonds would feel the need to suddenly change his tune on the situation and try to downplay the seriousness of what he stated earlier is anyone’s guess. But it seems like he’s distancing himself from anything that could make Diddy look bad, so don’t be surprised if the man never speaks on this situation again.
Check out Bonds try to clean up his own words in the clip below, and let us know your thoughts on the situation in the comments section below.

Roger Bonds, a former head of security for Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was named in the explosive lawsuit brought by Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, has vowed to tell his side of the story. Bonds was named in Cassie’s lawsuit and seemingly backed up claims made by the singer in a recent video.
Roger Bonds, who worked with Diddy over a decade ago, took to his Instagram page on Tuesday (November 28) to share his side of the story. In Cassie’s lawsuit, Bonds was mentioned as the individual who stopped a violent moment between her and Combs. While Bonds never mentions Combs by name, he added that the incident named in the lawsuit was just one of many.
Bonds added in the description of the Instagram post that more details would emerge and it appears he is gearing up to release a documentary or book as the hashtags for the post read “#2FacesTHEDOCUMENTARY” and “#ROGERBONDSMYTRUTH.”
After sharing the video and the potentially damning information within, it appears that Bonds has deleted his Instagram page for reasons unknown to us. Given the fact that Cassie settled the case one day after bringing the lawsuit to Diddy, it could be speculated that Bonds cannot legally speak on the case although, to our knowledge, he had no such agreement with Combs.
Below are some videos and replies obtained from X, formerly known as Twitter. One such reply makes mention of Bonds’ son, who was accused of murder in Africa, something Bonds addressed in a DJ Vlad interview over a year ago.
As more information about Roger Bonds becomes public, we’ll return with updates.

One thing about 50 Cent: It does not look like he plans to stop trolling Diddy over the quickly-settled lawsuit his former girlfriend, Cassie, filed against him alleging years of physical, sexual and psychological abuse.
As previously reported, 50 responded to the news of Diddy’s new legal troubles by mocking him with a social media post captioned, “Damn brother love, brother love, brother love, you out here looking CRAZY AS A MF. LMAO.”
Later, the “Many Men” rapper implied that he would be producing a documentary covering the scandal called “Surviving P.Diddy,” an obvious reference to the dream hampton-produced docuseries Surviving R Kelly.
Now, 50 Cent is saying he wants to buy Revolt TV after the news broke that Diddy would be temporarily stepping down as the platform’s chairman amid the controversy.
“I’ll buy that from you play boy, for the low because you know Cadillac and AT&T gonna pull out,” 50 wrote in a comment on Instagram. “I’ll give you a few dollars for it now! Sell it to me, then we can be friends. I’m serious call my phone.”
As for Revolt TV, the network released a statement Tuesday (Nov. 28) announcing the departure of the former Bad Boy mogul, who co-founded the company in 2013.
“Sean Combs has stepped down from his position as Chairman of REVOLT,” the statement reads. “While Mr. Combs has previously had no operational or day-to-day role in the business, this decision helps to ensure that REVOLT remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and the African diaspora.
Our focus has always been one that reflects our commitment to the collective journey of REVOLT—one that is not driven by any individual, but by the shared efforts and values of our entire team on behalf of advancing, elevating and championing our culture—and that continues.”
Obviously, neither sexual assault nor domestic violence are things to joke about, but, then, that never really stopped 50 from going out of his way to be a troll. Love him or hate him, that man is consistent.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is stepping down as Chairman of Revolt. The Bad Boy Records founder is stepping back from his role after multiple women have come forward to accuse him of sexual assault, amongst other crimes.
“While Mr. Combs has previously had no operational or day-to-day role in the business, this decision helps to ensure that REVOLT remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and the African diaspora,” reads a statement from Revolt. “Our focus has always been one that reflects our commitment to the collective journey of REVOLT – one that is not driven by any individual, but by the shared efforts and values of our entire team on behalf of advancing, elevating and championing our culture – and that continues.”
TMZ reports that sources say the decision is temporary as Diddy doesn’t want all the allegations he is facing to “distract” from Revolt’s business and mission.
Recently, former Bay Boy artist Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of sexual abuse. However, a day after the filing, they settled the matter out of court. But since, two more women have come forward with lawsuits accusing Diddy of sexual and domestic abuse, including rape. Joi Dickerson-Neal claims that Diddy sexually assaulted her back in college in 1991 while a Jane Doe accuser says he, and singer Aaron Hall, allegedly raped her around 1991 or 1992 as well.
Revolt’s current CEO is Detavio Samuels and while Diddy was not involved in the company’s daily business, his name is certainly associated with the Revolt brand.
Revolt was founded by Diddy, and Andy Schuon, and launched in October 2013.

The Diddy scandal continues to get even more bizarre. His former head of security has cryptically spoken up after being named in Cassie’s lawsuit.
As spotted on TMZ last week the scandal brought another former Bad Boy Entertainment employee out of the shadows. The “Me & U” singer claimed in her court documents that Roger Bonds, Diddy’s former security director, saw her go through a harrowing experience. In the paperwork she says that the mogul attacked her back in 2009 after learning she had spoken to a music manager at a Los Angeles nightclub. Cassie states that Bonds even tried to stop it. “Whеn thе car arrivеd at Mr. Combs’ rеsidеncе, Ms. Vеntura attеmptеd to run away, but Mr. Combs followеd hеr and procееdеd to again kick hеr in thе facе. Ms. Vеntura was blееding profusеly, and was ushеrеd into Mr. Combs’ homе, whеrе shе bеgan to throw up from thе violеnt assault” the court documents read.
Naturally this landed on the security professional’s radar prompting him to respond. In a since deleted Instagram post Roger Bonds wrote “This is not meant to be threats or snitching or anything like that against Cassie or Diddy or anyone else. this is me telling my truth as I truly remember it for 2 reasons only.” He went on to explain his reasoning on speaking out citing his family. “1st because I have 4 daughters so on all dudes my truth as I seen it, saw it and was involved with it for yrs.” further adding “IM WILLING TO TELL MY TEUTH BECAUSE FOR SO MANY YRS I WAS QUIET , Nothing matters now but FAMILY.”
On Monday, November 27 Roger Bonds returned to his Instagram account with a follow up post that featured a screenshot of a Complex article. His caption read “NEVER KEEP YOUR WORD WHEN THE REASON YOU KEPT YOUR WORD NO LONGER EXIST.” It is unclear what the cryptic message means or if he will indeed speak on what he did or did not see during his time at Bad Boy Entertainment.
Back in 2022 Roger Bonds discussed his life on VLADTV. You can watch the two-hour interview below.

Sean “Diddy” Combs recently settled with Casandra “Cassie” Ventura after the ex-girlfriend of the mogul filed a lawsuit alleging a series of crimes including sexual assault and sex trafficking. Now, two more lawsuits have been filed with Guy vocalist Aaron Hall also linked to Diddy in one of the filings.
As reported by The Guardian late last week, Joi Dickerson-Neal, a former Syracuse University student, claims that in 1991, she was drugged and physically assaulted by Combs who also allegedly filmed the assault and shared the footage via details found in a lawsuit filing from last week.
Dickerson-Neal, who starred in one of Diddy’s music videos, says that the shared footage of the assault caused her to suffer from a series of mental health issues, naming the act a form of revenge porn.
According to Dickerson-Neal’s legal team, she was encouraged to come forth about the assault after Cassie filed her lawsuit. In Cassie’s lawsuit, the singer claimed Combs enacted a number of heinous crimes that included sex trafficking, physical abuse, and more.
Ben Brafman, an attorney for Combs, said of the settlement between his client and Cassie that it did not signal “an admission of wrongdoing” and maintains his client is innocent of the claims made in the lawsuit.
In another report from Rolling Stone, the third such lawsuit filed by an unnamed woman was filed by way of the Adult Survivors Act last week with the complaint from Jane Doe alleging that Combs and Hall raped her and a friend in the early 1990s. The report cited the years 1990 and 1991 when the alleged rape took place. According to the filing, the unnamed victim claims that she and the friend met with Combs and Hall at an event hosted by MCA Records, which distributed Uptown Records.
The alleged incident took place at Hall’s apartment, according to the filing, with the men offering the women drinks and taking turns assaulting them. Days later, the lawsuit claims that Diddy went looking for Jane Doe’s friend and physically assaulted her out of concern that she would alert the woman he was seeing at the time about what took place at Hall’s apartment. The suit from Jane Doe also nanes MCA Music Entertainment and Geffen Records as defendants.
In response to the two lawsuits, a spokesperson for Combs sent the outlet a statement that read, “These are fabricated claims falsely alleging misconduct from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute. This is nothing but a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for anonymous accusers who lie without conscience or consequence for financial benefit. The New York Legislature surely did not intend or expect the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited by scammers. The public should be skeptical and not rush to accept these bogus allegations.”
