As Combs awaits his sentencing, Nash has come out with allegations of years of physical and sexual abuse. In an interview with CBS News, Nash said he felt afraid of Combs “the whole time” he worked for him.
“Nash personally experienced sexual, physical, mental, and emotional abuse at the hands of Defendants during his ten-year employment,” reads his lawsuit against Combs. It notes that this included “forced tests of loyalty and manipulation, sexual harassment and sexual assaults, physical violence and manhandling, labor trafficking, threats of harm, and threats of death.”
Nash also alleges that Combs sexually assaulted him multiple times. He said he continued to threaten him after he left his job. At times, he said he believed Combs would “kill” him.
“After enduring years of abuse, I finally found the courage during the criminal trial, and I am now ready to take action,” Nash said in a statement. “Sean Combs has never taken accountability for the years of harm he inflicted on me and so many others.”
Nash has previously stated that he witnessed Combs behave violently with Ventura. Combs’ lawyer, Erica Wolff, has denied all of Nash’s claims against him.
“Mr. Nash’s tabloid-style accusations are insulting not only to Mr. Combs, but also to the countless individuals who worked honorably and professionally within his companies,” she said in a statement. “In court, the truth will prevail, as it did in his criminal trial: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman. Mr. Combs looks forward to clearing his name again in a court of law where truth matters.”
