READ THE DOCUMENTS: Sean 'Diddy' Combs Suffers Courtroom Setback as Judge Refuses to Dismiss Sexual Assault Lawsuit
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied Sean "Diddy" Combs and his companies' motion to dismiss a sexual assault lawsuit filed by music producer Jonathan Hay. The March 5, 2026 minute order allows the case, which alleges a pattern of abusive behavior spanning several years, to proceed to discovery. Hay claims the allegations involve both Combs personally and entities tied to his business empire. The decision keeps the high‑profile dispute in the public eye as both parties prepare for further litigation.
