Diddy is facing a stunning lawsuit ahead of his sentencing … the mogul’s long-time stylist Deonte Nash is suing him for sexual battery, human trafficking and more.
According to new court docs — obtained by TMZ — lawyers for Deonte claim Diddy turned his dream of becoming a celebrity stylist into a “nightmare” … one he was “forced to endure nearly every single day” during the roughly 10 years he worked for Diddy.
The docs go on to say … “The horrors Mr. Nash experienced continue to plague him even after his employment ended.”
Deonte’s legal team claims Diddy — through his employment — subjected him to “a decade of sexual and physical assault, sexual and verbal harassment, trafficking, degradation and humiliation, threats to his life and well-being, stalking, control, and psychological manipulation.”
The stylist’s lawyers say Diddy allegedly used his power — and threats of harm — to compel Deonte to do his bidding and keep him under his control.
The docs claim Deonte has allegedly continued to receive threats even after his employment … and he still does not feel safe.
You’ll recall … Deonte testified during Diddy’s criminal trial — and when Diddy’s attorney asked if he was considering a civil lawsuit, he replied, “No, I’m focused on getting out of here.” When asked if he retained counsel to consider suing Diddy, Deonte said he has lawyers “to protect me.”
Nash’s lawsuit calls for compensatory and punitive damages … and he’s demanding a jury trial.
