A shocking new lawsuit has surfaced, naming music moguls JAY-Z and Beyoncé, along with NBA superstar LeBron James, in connection with an alleged assault at one of Diddy’s notorious parties.
Filed by a man named Manzaro Joseph, the lawsuit details disturbing allegations of sexual abuse, humiliation, and coercion at a private gathering in April 2015.
According to legal documents, the event was reportedly held at the Miami mansion of Emilio and Gloria Estefan in celebration of Christian Combs’s birthday. Joseph claims he was drugged, taken to the party against his will, and later forced to wear an explicit mask.

The complaint states that Gloria Estefan noticed Joseph’s condition and attempted to intervene, only for her husband to allegedly silence her and remove her from the situation.

Joseph further claims that, at one point, he encountered LeBron James, who was wearing nothing but a towel. The NBA star allegedly reacted to the scene by telling others to ‘do something about that.’
The allegations take an even wilder turn when Joseph states he was led through a secret passage to another property owned by Diddy. There, he claims to have come face-to-face with JAY-Z and Beyoncé.
According to the lawsuit, Beyoncé was visibly shocked, questioning why a ‘half-naked man in a mask’ was standing in front of her. A person allegedly affiliated with Diddy responded that the disturbing scene was meant as ‘punishment for a snitch.’
Joseph says he was then stripped down to a thong and further degraded by Diddy and adult film actress Adria English. The lawsuit also mentions famed jeweler Jacob Arabo, who reportedly reacted in disbelief upon witnessing the situation.

While JAY-Z, Beyoncé, LeBron James, and Gloria Estefan are named in the lawsuit, they are not being sued by Joseph. The legal action specifically targets Diddy, Emilio Estefan, Adria English, and Brendan Paul, a man previously suspected of being Diddy’s drug mule.
Diddy’s legal team has swiftly denied the allegations, dismissing them as ‘absurd’ and ‘nothing more than a desperate grab for headlines.’
JAY-Z’s attorney also refuted the claims, stating that the rapper was publicly seen at a TIDAL event in New York on the night in question. LeBron James’s representatives called the lawsuit ‘blatantly false,’ pointing out that he was in the middle of the NBA season with the Cleveland Cavaliers at the time.

Brendan Paul’s lawyer also issued a strong denial, ridiculing the allegations as ‘impossible,’ citing that Paul was still in high school in Ohio in 2015. His legal team has already announced plans to seek an immediate dismissal of the case.
