Model Jade Ramey has found herself in the midst of a controversy following a lawsuit filed against rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs by producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones. The lawsuit alleges that Jade Ramey, along with two other women, were paid a monthly fee to work as sex workers for Combs. These allegations surfaced over a month after Jones filed his lawsuit against Combs, accusing him of sexual assault and harassment.
In response to the allegations, Jade Ramey has firmly denied being a sex worker. In a statement, she said, “Yes, I dated someone. Dating someone doesn’t directly correlate to any of the false allegations made.” She expressed her disappointment at the scrutiny she has faced in the court of public opinion for caring for someone or falling in love. Ramey also urged society to be more conscious when ridiculing people’s lives and relationships merely for enjoyment.
The lawsuit was filed in March 2024 by Jones, a former producer and videographer for Diddy. Jones detailed his alleged experience of being sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened by the star, and is now seeking $30 million in damages. Jones produced multiple songs off Diddy’s Love LP between September 2022 and November 2023. He alleges that he witnessed, experienced, and endured many things that went far beyond his role as a producer on the Love album.
How Has Diddy’s Legal Team Responded to the Lawsuit?
Diddy’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, has dismissed Jones’ claims as “complete lies” and accused him of “shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday.” Holley stated that they have “overwhelming, indisputable proof” that Jones’ claims are complete lies.
What Other Developments Have Occurred in the Case?
In the lawsuit, Jones also accused Diddy of having “bragged about having several women on a monthly stipend” — a group of three women that Lil Rod claimed included Ramey. Another woman mentioned in the lawsuit, Daphne Joy, has also denied the allegations. In late March, Joy stated that she was “deeply hurt by the lies in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit” and that the claim that she is a sex worker is “100% false and character assassination.”
Furthermore, Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami properties were raided amid sex trafficking allegations. A Homeland Security Investigations representative confirmed that it “executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation.” Diddy has been accused of sexual assault and similar claims by five people in separate lawsuits filed in recent months — two of which have included allegations of sex trafficking.
What is the Current Status of the Case?
Attorney Aaron Dyer, representing Diddy, criticized the raids, stating there was “no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.” Dyer described the raids as an “unprecedented ambush” and a “witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.” He affirmed that there has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations and that Diddy is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.
