Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently serving a 50-month federal prison sentence on prostitution-related charges, has been hit with a new lawsuit filed by an anonymous plaintiff who claims he was sexually assaulted by the music mogul as a minor.

According to reports, the plaintiff, identified only as John Doe, alleges he was a working child actor when he attended a networking event at a Hollywood Hills residence in 2007. In the lawsuit, he claims he met Combs at the gathering and was later invited to speak with him privately about potential opportunities in the entertainment industry.

Doe alleges that once they were alone, Combs made unwanted physical advances that escalated into a sexual assault despite his objections and visible discomfort.

The lawsuit further claims that following the alleged incident, Combs told the young actor he would consider him for future career opportunities.

In addition to Combs, the complaint names several unidentified agents and associates who allegedly had a responsibility to safeguard minors attending the event.

Combs has denied the allegations. In a statement to Forbes, his spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, described the claims as “false and ridiculous.” Engelmayer also referred to the plaintiff as “another hater in a long list of people trying to get in on the money gravy train encouraged by personal injury lawyers” and maintained that Combs “has never sexually assaulted anyone and that includes any child.”

Kaylee Hottle, the young actress best known for her role as Jia in Legendary’s MonsterVerse films, has died at 18. The actress’ death was confirmed by her father, Joshua Hottle, who shared the news in a Facebook livestream using American Sign Language. According to reports, Hottle died following a car accident in Maryland on July 21, 2026.

Hottle’s career, though brief, drew attention for her role in expanding Deaf representation in mainstream cinema. Through her portrayal of Jia, a Deaf character who communicates with King Kong through American Sign Language, she became one of the most recognisable young Deaf actors in mainstream cinema.

Hottle made her feature film debut in 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, where she played Jia, a young girl living on Skull Island who forms a unique bond with Kong. Her performance brought Deaf representation to one of Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster franchises, portraying Jia as a character whose identity extended beyond her deafness.

She returned to the role in 2024’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, appearing alongside Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry and Dan Stevens. Her performance earned her a Saturn Award nomination for Best Younger Performer in a Film.

Born into a Deaf family, Hottle brought her personal experience with American Sign Language and Deaf culture to her performances. Her portrayal of Jia was noted for bringing a Deaf character played by a Deaf actor to the Godzilla film series.

Before her breakthrough in the MonsterVerse franchise, Hottle began acting as a child, appearing in commercials, including a 2017 campaign for Convo, a video relay service platform for the Deaf community. The appearance helped introduce her to wider audiences and eventually contributed to her casting in Godzilla vs. Kong. She also appeared in an episode of the television series Magnum P.I.

Following news of her death, her former school, Texas School for the Deaf, expressed grief over her passing and acknowledged her impact on the community.

Although she appeared in only a handful of projects, Kaylee Hottle’s influence extended beyond film credits. Her work represented a shift towards more inclusive storytelling, showing audiences the importance of authentic casting and diverse voices in entertainment.

At 18, Hottle’s work in the MonsterVerse films remains notable for bringing greater visibility to Deaf talent in mainstream entertainment.
