Bad Boy Entertainment and its former president, Harve Pierre, have been sued for negligence and sexual assault less than a week after the company’s CEO, Sean “Diddy” Combs, settled a lawsuit filed by Cassie accusing the music mogul of rape, sex trafficking and physical abuse.
Pierre, who has been with Diddy’s company since its inception in 1993, is accused by a former employee — referred to as Jane Doe — of using “his position of authority as plaintiff’s boss to groom, exploit, and sexually assault her,” according to a complaint obtained by USA TODAY on Wednesday. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in New York Supreme Court.
The former employee alleged “Pierre engaged in a year-long pattern of grooming” her, which led to sexual harassment and sexual assault “on multiple occasions” between 2016 and 2017, the filing adds.
