The lawsuit filed by Joseph Manzaro against Sean Diddy Combs, which originally included allegations of sexual assault at a 2015 party, has recently seen some changes. Manzaro amended his lawsuit on April 11, 2025, removing the names of Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z from the complaint. The amendment follows the revelation that the couple was not present at the party in question, with their legal teams presenting evidence to support their claims.<\/p>\n
In his initial lawsuit, Manzaro accused Combs of drugging him and taking him to a party hosted at a Miami property owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan. The complaint described a series of degrading acts, including Manzaro being forced to wear a p*nis mask during the event. Manzaro alleged that Gloria Estefan had requested an ambulance after noticing his deteriorating state, but Emilio Estefan allegedly intervened.<\/p>\n
However, Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s lawyers provided proof that they were not at the party, citing a 2015 article showing Jay-Z was attending an event at New York University and photographic evidence that both celebrities were vacationing in Hawaii around the time of the alleged incident. Jay-Z\u2019s lawyer, Alex Spiro, made a public statement clarifying that his client was in a different location, effectively disproving the original claims linking them to the event.<\/p>\n
In response to the lawsuit, Combs\u2019 legal team vehemently denied the allegations, calling them a baseless attempt for attention and financial compensation. They stated that the complaint was \u201cdepraved\u201d and promised to vigorously defend Combs in court.<\/p>\n
The case is ongoing, with the focus now on the remaining allegations involving Combs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
