Summary: A newly released police report alleges that Sean “Diddy” Combs assaulted a music producer following an incident involving the producer's alleged masturbation. The report, uncovered during the investigation of a civil lawsuit filed by a “John Doe” plaintiff in July, details the alleged assault and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The lawsuit claims the producer was subjected to physical and verbal abuse after the alleged incident, and seeks damages for emotional distress and professional harm.
The police report, dated August 12, 2025, states that on the evening of July 25, a producer named “X” was present at a private gathering hosted by Combs. According to the report, X was accused by attendees of masturbating in front of the group. The report claims that Combs confronted X and subsequently used physical force, striking him and pushing him toward a wall.
The incident was witnessed by several attendees, who reported that Combs shouted threats and used profanity before physically assaulting the producer. The report lists X’s injuries as bruises on his arms and chest, and notes that he was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
In July 2025, the producer—identified only as “John Doe” in court documents—filed a civil lawsuit against Combs, alleging assault, battery, and emotional distress. The lawsuit cites the July 25 incident as the basis for the claims, seeking damages of $1.5 million. The lawsuit also claims that Combs’s conduct caused reputational harm and loss of future opportunities for the producer.
Combs’s legal team has not yet filed a formal response. The police report adds new evidence to the plaintiff’s case, potentially strengthening the claim of physical assault and providing corroboration of the alleged event.
Combs has not issued a public statement regarding the police report. A spokesperson for the producer’s legal team confirmed that the lawsuit was filed in July and stated that the new police findings “support the plaintiff’s allegations.”
Law enforcement officials who investigated the incident have said the report is “being reviewed as part of the ongoing investigation” and that no charges have been filed as of the date of the report.
Pending the court’s review of the police report, the civil case is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in September 2025. If the court finds the allegations credible, it may order a formal criminal investigation into the assault. The producer’s team has indicated that they will pursue additional claims for damages if the assault is substantiated.
Combs’s legal counsel is expected to file an answer to the civil complaint by the end of the month, at which point the case may proceed to discovery or settlement negotiations.
