Macy’s Accused of ‘Destroying’ Records of Man Alleging Diddy ‘Orally Raped’ Him

Macy’s has been named as a defendant in a recently filed lawsuit accusing the department store of “destroying” records about a man being “orally raped” by disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in May 2008.

The lawsuit also accuses the music mogul of orally raping a male employee of Ecko — Combs’ rival clothing company — in a Macy’s located in the Herald Square area of Manhattan, according to a report by Business Insider.

Macy’s covered up the 2008 sexual assault in order to protect a multimillion-dollar deal the retail chain had with Combs’ sportswear company Sean John, the lawsuit alleges.

The plaintiff, named in the lawsuit as “John Doe,” alleges that Combs and three of his armed bodyguards entered a Macy’s stockroom, where one or more of the guards struck him “around the base of the neck” with what he believed was a pistol, causing him to fall to his hands and knees.

From there, Combs, who addressed Doe simply as “Ecko,” demanded that the alleged victim perform oral sex on him while one or more of the music mogul’s armed guards threatened to kill the man, the lawsuit claims.

Combs then “orally” raped the plaintiff for around two minutes, he claims.

After the attack, Combs took armfuls of Sean John merchandise from the stockroom and entered the retail floor, where he “began passing out merchandise to an adoring crowd, as if nothing had happened,” the complaint alleges.

The lawsuit goes on to say that Doe reported the incident to Macy’s security on the same day it transpired, but no one in the company took any action.

The plaintiff “believes that the report of the assault was destroyed or otherwise purged from Macy’s records,” the lawsuit states.

“Approximately three weeks later, Terry Lundgren, CEO of Macy’s, pressured Ecko executives to fire plaintiff because Macy’s had just signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Sean John Clothing,” the lawsuit alleges.

The plaintiff was later fired and told by Ecko — which was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit — that he could no longer reside in his company-paid apartment in Manhattan, the complaint claims.

Doe still “fears for his life” to this day, the lawsuit adds.

Unearthed claim about JFK and Bobby Kennedy’s involvement in Marilyn Monroe’s death… and all the signs it wasn’t a suicide, revealed by MAUREEN CALLAHAN: ‘I know who killed her’

She may have been the biggest star in the world, but this was going to be the most important night of Marilyn’s life: Headlining a fundraiser that would double as President John F. Kennedy’s 45th birthday party, on May 19, 1962, at Madison Square Garden.

Now the world would finally know: She and the married American president were a thing.

And what a headline that would be: Marilyn Monroe, the world’s biggest movie star, and the president of the United States!

He was going to leave his wife, the admired but frosty Jackie, and marry her. He had said as much, and Marilyn believed him. Once he won re-election, he would be free to make her the next First Lady of the United States.

It wasn’t so crazy: Marilyn had Jack on her hook for years, long before he was in the White House.

For this most pivotal night, Marilyn wanted to look like the German sex-siren Marlene Dietrich, but edgier, more risqué.

So she’d turned to Dietrich — herself a former lover of both Jack Kennedy and his father Joe — and the star had sent Marilyn to her own designer, the French costumier Jean Louis.

The result was a gossamer, flesh-toned dress glittering with thousands of hand-beaded rhinestones, so figure-hugging that it had to be sewn onto Marilyn’s body, so tight that she couldn’t wear underwear.

Half an hour before her performance at the Garden, Marilyn was in her dressing-room when the president’s brother, Bobby, arrived at the door. They spent 15 minutes alone together.

Marilyn knew both Kennedys wanted her, and she wanted both of them. Jack, of course, had the charm and power, but Bobby had a kind of gravitas that attracted her.

Secret OJ Simpson files are released by FBI and reveal chilling new details about murder investigation that shocked the nation

The FBI has released almost 500 never before seen files on OJ Simpson which reveal more details about the infamous case.

The tranche was published Friday and largely covers the investigation into the 1994 murders of Simpson’s ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.

Simpson was cleared of criminal charges in 1995, following a high profile trail which captured the nation’s attention.

He was later found civilly liable and ordered to pay the victims’ families $33.5 million. He maintained his innocence until his death in April aged 76.

The secret documents show the lengths that the FBI went to to keep their findings under wraps.

‘Due to the intense media interest in captioned matter, and the potential prejudicial impact that public dissemination could have on pending criminal proceedings the following information should be handled on a strict need to know basis, and should not be disseminated outside the FBI,’ one internal memo published states.

The files also reveal the huge effort investigators put in to identify the shoes worn by the killer.

LA homicide detectives determined the footwear to be a pair of rare Bruno Magli shoes, with agents flying to the manufacturer in Italy in a bid to glean more information.

Agents dispatched to the factory were briefed, ‘under no circumstance should the interviewing agents mention that this investigation concerns OJ Simpson or the homicide investigation in Los Angeles, California’.

Other details include lists of materials found at the scene which were sent for DNA testing.

Two rambling letters dated June 1994 are also among the documents, written by an individual claiming to have visions about the killings.

‘I can’t sleep at night. The dreams that I have, where pieces of the puzzle fall into place. And the ultimate dream that the killer is still out there and is after me,’ one reads. 

The FBI publishes records it keeps on individuals following their death.

What did TV bosses hear about Russell Brand, and when were they told? The repeated warnings over controversial comic whose ‘sinister behaviour’ was an ‘open secret’ among BBC and CH4 senior executives

Repeated warnings over Russell Brand to TV bosses made his ‘sinister behaviour’ an open secret among BBC and Channel 4 executives – it has been claimed as alleged concerns reach back as far as 2004-6.

It comes amid reports that accusations about his ‘sinister’ behaviour towards women were an ‘open secret’ among TV and radio executives following a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4 Dispatches.

Bosses at the BBC and Channel 4 are accused of turning a blind eye towards the entertainer while he worked for them as a presenter between 2006 and 2013. 

The broadcasters insisted they took all necessary steps to deal with him, but executives could still be called before a Government select committee where MPs will grill them over what they knew.

Channel 4 and the BBC have since launched probes into Russell Brand‘s behaviour in light of allegations of predatory behaviour towards staff and audience members in the wake of separate rape and sexual assault allegations, as friends of the comedian begin to distance themselves from him.

The first time the star’s behaviour was reported is claimed to be while he was working on EFourum and Big Brother’s Big Mouth between 2004 and 2006.

But one researcher alleges they complained about Brand pursuing audience members for sex, but their concerns were dismissed.

Russell Brand says he is victim of ‘co-ordinated campaign’ after receiving ‘extremely disturbing letters’ from media firms outlining ‘serious criminal allegations’ as he insists all relationships were consensual as he is backed by Elon Musk and Andrew Tate

Elon Musk and Andrew Tate have backed Russell Brand‘s claims that he is a victim of a ‘co-ordinated media attack’, as the comedian took to his YouTube channel to ‘absolutely deny’ what he called ‘very serious criminal allegations’ made against him.

The video comes ahead of a much-anticipated Channel 4 Dispatches investigation set to air at 9pm tonight, with speculation building over who or what could at the centre of the investigation.

Sources said the long running current affairs documentary series will feature details about a well-known celebrity, which the Mail have been told are shocking.

There is no indication that Brand will feature in the programme, however, last night he made a video address to fans where he insisted any relationships he had ‘during his time of promiscuity’ were ‘consensual’.

Brand said he had received two ‘extremely disturbing letters’ from a ‘mainstream media TV company’ and a newspaper which the comedian said listed ‘a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks, which are untrue’.
