Twist in Sean 'Diddy' Combs-Lawscare: Acculter admits Beyoncé and Jay-Z were not at Freak-Off Party | Mint
Manzaro Joseph changed his lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” and removed Beyoncé and Jay-Z after Jay-Z’s attorney proved that the couple was not in Miami during the 2015 incident. In an amendment to the lawsuit, Manzaro Joseph Beyoncé and Jay-Z removed from his claims against Sean Diddy Combs, to legal intervention by Jay-Z’s attorney. (AFP) Manzaro Joseph, the man who filed a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs earlier this month, made a significant change to his case and dropped Beyoncé and Jay-Z of his narrative, according to a report. Joseph, who initially claimed that the famous couple saw him in a compromise and bizarre state in 2015 at a party, has now filed an amended lawsuit that they no longer call, according to the TMZ report. The original allegations Joseph originally claimed to have been anesthetized and forced to wear a sexually explicit mask during a birthday party in Miami for Diddy’s son, King Combs. During the event, Joseph claimed that Beyoncé confronted him after seeing him in this state, and asked why he was “half naked” before her and wearing a ‘c ** k mask’. These claims also suggested that Jay-Z saw the incident. Why Beyoncé and Jay-Z removed the new court documents no longer refer to Beyoncé or Jay-Z, with the lawsuit focusing only on Diddy and other individuals involved. Sources close to the case confirmed to TMZ that Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, intervened and gave evidence proving that neither Beyoncé nor Jay-Z was in Miami at the time of the alleged incident. This legal pressure seems to have led Joseph’s lawyer to amend the complaint and abandoned the couple from the lawsuit. Diddy is still the focus of the lawsuit while Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been removed, and Joseph continues to pursue legal action against Diddy, as well as music producer Emilio Estefan and others, and seek damages for the alleged events. The lawsuit deals with accusations of drugs, harassment and forced humiliation. Diddy Faces has expanded the federal deed of accusation before May trial Sean “Diddy” Combs remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, while awaiting a growing list of federal charges next month. Diddy, 55, who was originally charged in September 2024, was charged with sex trafficking, racketing and transportation to participate in prostitution. Since then, the case has seen three separate amendments, each setting up new accusations and escalating the seriousness of the alleged offenses. The third amended indictment, filed last week, added two additional charges of sex trafficking and prostitution-related charges. It builds on a broader federal investigation into Combs’s alleged criminal activities, which according to prosecutors extends more than two decades. In the second amended indictment, submitted in March 2025, prosecutors set out a disturbing pattern of abuse. Diddy is accused: forcing employees to work exceptionally long hours. Force one employee to perform sexual acts. Threatening physical and financial damage to those who refused to help with sex trade surgery. The authorities claim that the coercion and abuse were part of a larger criminal enterprise that was orchestrated and maintained by Combs over a long period of time.
