Orinda, Calif. — NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. is facing accusations from a woman who alleges that he, together with music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, was involved in a gang rape incident in 2018. The allegation forms part of a broader legal action initially directed at Combs and has recently expanded to include Beckham and others.
The claimant, Ashley Parham, contends that the incident occurred in a house in Orinda in March 2018, during which Beckham and others allegedly assaulted her. Parham’s legal team amended their lawsuit to incorporate these new allegations, filed in the Northern District of California.
According to the amended complaint, another individual allegedly involved in the incident referred to Beckham by a nickname “Cornelius,” which closely resembles Beckham’s middle name, Cornelious.
Further compounding the celebrities’ woes is the inclusion of Drew Desbordes, better known by his stage name Druski, a comedian and actor. Desbordes has responded vigorously to the allegations denying any wrongdoing. On social media platform X, he vehemently defended his innocence stating, “This allegation is a fabricated lie,” and highlighting his lack of status and connections in the entertainment industry during 2018.
Desbordes emphasized his confidence in the legal process revealing the truth and expressed his solidarity with genuine victims of abuse. The lawsuit accuses him of playing a distressing part in the assault on Parham, which he categorically denies.
Attempts to reach Beckham’s representative for comment were met without response, with reports of further attempts being rebuffed.
This lawsuit is part of a series of troubling accusations aimed at Combs, involving serious charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and fraud, alongside harrowing claims of sexual abuse. Combs, who has repeatedly denied any misconduct, finds himself at the center of multiple legal battles that paint a starkly negative portrait of his personal and professional conduct.
These legal developments occur against the backdrop of a tide of accountability sweeping through the entertainment and sports industries, where figures are increasingly being called to account for past and present behaviors.
As these allegations proceed through the judicial system, the truth of the claims will be thoroughly examined under the scrutiny of the court, which brings a broader public discussion about accountability and justice in high-profile circles.
The community, industry observers, and legal experts alike will be watching closely as this complex legal drama unfolds, highlighting issues of power dynamics, justice, and the long journey survivors often face when confronting alleged abusers in positions of considerable influence.
