(RNS) — A lawsuit accusing music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual harassment, illegal drug activity and sex trafficking cites Bishop T.D. Jakes as someone who the rapper hoped would help improve his image.The plaintiff is Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, a music producer who the suit alleges has photo and other evidence of Combs’ activities.
Jakes, a Dallas-based megachurch pastor, is not among the defendants in the suit, which include several record labels and actor Cuba Gooding Jr. as well as Combs’ son Justin Dior Combs and chief of staff Kristina Khorram.
Jakes is mentioned once in a lengthy suit that describes Jones as a victim of sexual harassment and assault by the elder Combs.
The suit, filed in a New York federal court in late March, alleges Jones has “irrefutable evidence” of Combs “detailing how he planned to leverage his relationship with Bishop T.D. Jakes, to soften the impact on his public image of Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit.”
The suit is one of several filed in recent months against Combs, including one by Ventura, an R&B singer who accused him of rape and beatings during their relationship. It comes around the same time that news outlets have reported federal agents have raided the hip-hop mogul’s properties and seized guns and other items.
