NFL Players Involved in Controversial Lawsuit
NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. and comedian Druski, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, have been named in a revised trial involving allegations of sexual violence against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Both Druski and Beckham have denied any involvement in the incident, which allegedly took place in 2018. A lawsuit filed in California on March 14 includes claims against themselves, Diddy, and singer Jaguar Wright.
The lawsuit alleges that they participated in an attack on Ashley Parham and two unnamed individuals. According to Diversity, Parham claimed last October that she was drugged, abducted, and assaulted multiple times after Diddy allegedly believed she was involved in the murder of Tupac Shakur.
Combs has never been implicated in connection with the murder. According to Guardian, in 2008, Diddy denied any connection to the shooting after the LA Times reported he was linked to it. “This is not funny and completely false,” Combs stated at the time.
Allegations Against Druski and Beckham
The lawsuit accuses Druski of covering Parham in oil before “treating her like a slipping object” and allegedly raping her, as reported by New York Post.
Druski, a media personality and comedian, denied any involvement in a statement shared on social media yesterday (March 10). “This statement is a fabricated lie,” he stated.

“My heart breaks for the real victims of abuse, but I am completely confident that the evidence will expose this lie and those who aim to manipulate the legal system for their own agendas.”
In response, Beckham wrote: “Boy, I will tell you what. This world makes absolutely no sense. I am covered with God. He prevails. I know who I am, I know who you are, hold your head. This name will be cleared. This is stupid.”
The former New York Giants receiver stated that he was wrongfully implicated in the violent sexual assault against Parham. During the alleged incident, other defendants supposedly addressed him using the nickname “Cornelius,” according to the court documents: “The plaintiff came to discover that the defendant Dow Cornelius, who raped her, was indeed the defendant Odell.”
Beckham added, “I can’t even believe that my name is mentioned in this matter. There is absolutely no truth to these accusations. I do not know and have never met the person who filed this lawsuit.”

The lawsuit describes the attack as brutal, asserting that “the plaintiff’s body became increasingly injured during the violent rape, ultimately rendering her unable to move.” It also claims that Diddy “sat in a chair” nearby, allegedly recording the incident.
In a statement provided to Diversity on Monday (March 10), representatives for Combs said: “This new complaint, filed by a lawyer who has previously filed a lawsuit against Combs, demonstrates the depraved lengths to which these plaintiffs will go to achieve headlines in pursuit of funds.”
“Mr. Combs was not near Orinda, California, on the day of the alleged attack, and the county sheriff’s department has already determined that the claims made by Mr. Parham are baseless following a thorough investigation. Mr. Combs looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Last September, Diddy was arrested on various charges, including human trafficking and racketeering. He has been held in a federal prison in his hometown while awaiting a court date set for May 5.
Last month, attorney Tony Buzby stated that he expects over 10 new civil lawsuits to be filed by the end of February. Diddy’s legal team continues to deny all allegations against him.
