CUBA GOODING JR SAYS LIL RODNEY "LIL ROD" JONES, IS LOOKING FOR A MONEY GRAB..#DIDDY #CUBAGOODINGJR

Cuba Gooding Jr. was named in a lawsuit filed against Diddy (real name Sean Combs) earlier this year, and he has now addressed the allegations made about him.

In late February, a producer named Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones (who worked on The Love Album: Off the Grid) accused the Bad Boy Records boss of sexual harassment as well as drugging and threatening him over the course of a year. Approximately a month later, he added the 56-year-old actor to the ongoing case as a defendant.

Per court documents obtained by HipHopDX, the plaintiff claims that he feared Combs would “groom him to pass him off to his friends” — this apparently came true when the mogul introduced him to the Jerry McGuire star, who allegedly “began touching, groping, and fondling Mr. Jones’ legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks, and his shoulders.”

Alongside an image of the alleged encounter, the filing adds: “He rejected his advances and Mr. Gooding Jr. did not stop until Mr. Jones forcibly pushed him away.”

During an interview on the PBD Podcast that was published on Wednesday (May 8), the Hollywood veteran shared his thoughts on the ordeal as well as his recent inclusion in it.
