He was locked in a small room until he encountered Jacob “The Jeweler” Arobo, who asked, “What’s this? What’s going on with this guy? Why is he standing here staring at me with a penis strapped to his face?” Defendant Eric responded, “Oh, he’s just some guy who’s a snitch. We’re teaching him a little lesson.”Fox News Digital has reached out to reps for Arobo and English for comment.Gloria attempted to intervene and requested an ambulance again, according to the documents, but Emilio allegedly “silenced her.” When Manzaro was returned to the “gang house,” he was “savagely beaten and left for dead inside his apartment,” according to documents.”This complaint demonstrates the depraved lengths plaintiffs will travel to garner headlines in pursuit of a payday,” Diddy’s representatives said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. “No sane person reading this complaint could credit this story. Mr. Combs looks forward to having his day in court where these lies – and the perverse motives of those who told them – will be revealed.”A spokesperson for LeBron James denied the professional basketball player was in Miami at the time of the alleged incident.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER”This is demonstrably false and doesn’t even merit a report or response,” the spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “A basic internet search shows what LeBron was doing all of April 2015. He was playing basketball for the Cleveland Cavaliers and never in Miami.”Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, told Fox News Digital that his client wasn’t in the area during the alleged incident.”Mr Carter wasn’t in Florida at that time to witness this incident – he was engaged in easily findable public activities that prove he was not at this event,” Spiro said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. “This is more nonsense that erodes the trust in our ‘justice’ system.”Additionally, Gloria and Emilio Estefan’s representatives denied the allegations, and admitted they had documentation to prove there were no parties at their Florida house.”Gloria and Emilio Estefan strongly deny the allegations made,” their rep told Fox News Digital. “The property in question was never a home where Gloria and Emilio resided, but it was rather a house they owned for family use. There were no parties thrown at that property between 2012 and 2019. We have all necessary documentation to support these facts and will provide it to the court.”Combs has been under investigation for human trafficking since March 2024.Diddy was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution in a federal indictment unsealed on Sept. 17. While Diddy has maintained his innocence, if found guilty he faces a minimum of 15 years behind bars or a maximum sentence of life in prison.
