THE P*NIS MASK LAWSUIT: DIDDY, CELEBRITIES, AND THE FREAK-OFF ALLEGATIONS

A man says he was drugged, paraded around a Miami mansion in a penis mask, and humiliated in front of some of the most famous names in the world—including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and LeBron James. That’s not the setup for some dark comedy sketch; that’s what’s alleged in a federal lawsuit filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The accuser, Joseph Manzaro, claims the incident happened in April 2015 during a birthday party for Christian “King” Combs, held at a home on Miami’s exclusive Star Island. That home, according to the lawsuit, was owned by none other than Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Manzaro alleges he was drugged before arriving and that once at the party, Gloria Estefan herself noticed him in a concerning physical state. She reportedly asked for someone to call an ambulance—but then, her husband Emilio allegedly shut it down and ushered her away.

That alone would be bizarre. But what comes next is what’s made this lawsuit a media lightning rod.

Manzaro says he was moved—through an underground tunnel—to Diddy’s nearby mansion by former adult film actress Adria English, who is also named in the suit. At some point, Manzaro claims he regained partial consciousness and found himself being paraded around, half-naked, wearing a black leather mask with a rubber dam and a protruding locking sex device strapped to his face.

And then—he says—he encountered Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

According to the complaint, Beyoncé appeared confused and asked why a half-naked man with a sex toy strapped to his face was in front of her. Someone else, allegedly affiliated with the party, told her it was a "punishment" ordered by Diddy: “Diddy wants him to see what we do to snitches.”

The story doesn't end there. Manzaro claims that Diddy explicitly ordered his degradation in front of party guests. He says he was stripped, put in a thong, and made to wear the leather mask as part of what the lawsuit described as a "freak-off"—an alleged term for sexually exploitative gatherings. He was, according to the complaint, subjected to non-consensual and degrading acts.

At one point, Manzaro says he came across high-end jeweler Jacob Arabo and expressed confusion. Emilio Estefan allegedly instructed men nearby to move Manzaro away from Arabo quickly. Later, Gloria Estefan again attempted to intervene and request medical assistance, but was allegedly silenced once more by Emilio.

In another moment cited in the complaint, Manzaro says he encountered LeBron James in a hallway. James allegedly said, “Y’all better do something about that,” though he isn’t accused of any misconduct and wasn’t named a defendant.

The fallout? Diddy’s legal team called the claims “depraved” and “nonsense,” saying that no reasonable person could believe the complaint. They emphasized that Combs looks forward to his day in court, where he says these lies will be exposed.

The Estefans, for their part, issued a statement denying everything. They said the Star Island property wasn’t even used for parties between 2012 and 2019 and that they have documentation to back that up. They also emphasized that the property in question wasn’t their primary residence—it was simply a house they owned for family use.

Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, went on record to say his client wasn’t even in Florida at the time. He pointed to publicly available evidence that Jay-Z was elsewhere, calling the allegation “more nonsense” and a blow to the integrity of the justice system.

Beyoncé and LeBron James haven’t commented. Neither has Adria English, at least not yet.

It’s worth noting that while Combs has been sued by multiple individuals for alleged sexual misconduct, he has denied the allegations across the board. He has pleaded not guilty to separate federal sex crime charges and is scheduled to stand trial in May.
