Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sued for $60 Million by Former 'Making the Band' Contestant Sara Rivers
Rivers alleges sexual harassment, inhumane working conditions, and career sabotage during and after her time on the MTV reality show.
- Sara Rivers, a former contestant on 'Making the Band,' has filed a $60 million lawsuit against Sean 'Diddy' Combs, citing sexual harassment and mistreatment during the show's filming.
- Rivers claims Combs controlled her sleeping and eating schedules, mocked her eating disorder, and forced her to perform unpaid manual labor, including the infamous 'cheesecake walk' from Manhattan to Brooklyn and back.
- The lawsuit includes allegations of sexual harassment, with Rivers accusing Combs of making inappropriate comments about her body and touching her inappropriately during a recording studio encounter.
- Rivers also alleges that after rejecting Combs' advances and questioning contracts, he blackballed her from the music industry, interfering with potential deals and disbanding her group, Da Band.
- The lawsuit names more than two dozen defendants, including MTV, Viacom, and Combs' mother, Janice, while Combs' legal team denies the claims, labeling them as meritless and opportunistic.
