Prince Harry’s name has appeared in court filings made in connection with music producer Rodney Jones’ $30 million lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Jones filed his lawsuit on February 26, making a number of accusations against Combs, including sexual misconduct and grooming. Jones has also accused Combs of participating in sex-trafficking activity.
Attorneys for Combs have strongly denied the allegations, previously telling Newsweek: “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies.”
Jones’ filing to the federal district court in New York lists in detail his allegations, with one section claiming that Combs’ music industry associates (who are also named in the lawsuit) financially benefited from facilitating his alleged unlawful behavior, gaining access to his powerful connections—including Prince Harry—in the process.
Among the benefits enjoyed by music industry parties, Jones’ lawyers claimed, was “affiliation and access to Mr. Combs’ popularity.”
In the court filing, seen by Newsweek, it is alleged that through this popularity Combs’ associates gained access to “celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artists, musicians, and international dignitaries like British Royal, Prince Harry.”
The prince has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
