Tyrone Blackburn, attorney for Rodney Jones, responded to the suit in a statement, noting, "This is nothing more than a billing exercise by Sean Combs' latest set of lawyers. It is a weak attempt to fill their pockets before he is indicted, and they decide to haul a**, just like his five previous lawyers did." He added, "[I]f their client does not engage in salacious behavior, I would not have anything salacious to file. I pick my clients; I do not pick their facts."
Jones sued Combs for alleged sex trafficking and sexual assault, claiming Combs "forcibly touched and attempted and/or threatened to touch" Jones' intimate areas while they worked on The Love Album: Off the Grid.
