Porn star D'Angelo 'Knockout' Marquis says his images have been misleadingly used in Diddy gay rape lawsuit in attempt to 'bring the star down'

A male porn star has claimed that images of him have been used in the sexual abuse lawsuit against Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones is suing the media mogul for alleged groping and a possible drug-induced rape. 

As part of the suit images taken from a video show a man engaging in penetrative sex with another male, which is claimed to be long time cohort of Diddy, Stevie J. 

Jones claims in the suit that among the many instances of harassment involved him having to watch Stevie J, real name Steven Jordan, having sex in the video. 

Adult film star D'Angelo 'Knockout' Marquis has since claimed that the images referred to in the suit are actually him engaging in sex with another man. 

Record producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones claims he was subjected to a year of grooming and abuse

In several posts on social media, porn star D'Angelo 'Knockout' Marquis claims he's the person pictured in the lawsuit that Diddy faces and not Stevie J 

After the images contained in the suit went public on social media page X, Marquis posted: 'That's me smh.'

According to his OnlyFans page, Marquis is a 'professional award winning male entertainer who boasts nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram. 

In subsequent posts to his X account, Marquis added: 'They will not bring him down off my name, try again' and 'This is not him [Stevie J] it's me yall really be trying it.'

The filing claims that Combs knew Jones 'looked up to, and idolized' Stevie J, and used the video recording as a way to solicit him.  

Combs is alleged to have shared the video with Jones to 'ease his anxiety concerning homosexuality'. 

Jones claims that while showing him the video, Combs told him: 'This is a normal practice in the music industry, look even Stevie J is doing it.' 

Stevie J responded to the filing saying: 'This lawsuit is bogus!' accompanied by three clown emojis. 

The producer has been associated with Diddy for years and until 2023 was married to the widow of Biggie Smalls aka Christopher Wallace, who was shot dead in 1997. 

The rapper and music industry mogul Sean Combs was sued November 16 by the singer Cassie, who accused him of rape and physical abuse before the case was settled out of court

The suit, filed in federal court in New York, accuses Combs of repeated instances of unsolicited groping and sexual touching of Jones. 

Combs recruited Jones in August 2022 to produce some of the songs on the R&B album 'The Love Album: Off the Grid' which was nominated for a Grammy after its release in September 2023.

'Mr Jones agreed, and his life has been detrimentally impacted ever since,' the lawsuit claims.

For more than a year he endured 'constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping and touching of his anus', at Combs' homes in Florida, Los Angeles and New York, as well as on a rented yacht in the US Virgin Islands.

Combs introduced him to Cuba Gooding Jr on the yacht where the actor allegedly began 'touching, groping, and fondling Mr Jones's legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks and his shoulders'.

He claims he was also sexually assaulted by a female cousin of Combs's girlfriend Yung Miami and forced to watch a video of record producer Stevie J having sex with another man.

Jones was required to work in Combs' bathroom where the star would shower naked behind a glass screen, according to the lawsuit.

The producer alleges Combs boasted of having shot people and threatened to inflict bodily harm if Jones did not comply with his demands.

He says the 'forceful and demanding' star privately admitted involvement in a 1999 nightclub shooting that saw him acquitted of gun possession and bribery charges.

'Mr Combs consistently made it clear that he has immense power in the music industry and with law enforcement,' the lawsuit claims.

Jones claims that underage girls and sex workers were guests at the star's house parties and that he saw the star drug their drinks.

He also claims he was ordered to Miami trawl bars and nightspots to recruit sex workers, and says he himself was drugged in February last year before he woke up naked, dizzy and confused in bed with Combs and two sex workers.

The suit was filed on Monday at the US District Court for the Southern District of New York three weeks after Jones launched a Gofundme appeal asking for money to sue the rapper for unpaid royalties.

His lawsuit also names Combs' son Justin, his chief of staff Kristina Khorram, and Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grange as defendants.

It accuses Khorram of 'grooming' him on Combs's behalf and claims that Motown Records, Love Records and Universal Music Group comprised a 'Rico enterprise' that 'failed to adequately monitor, warn or supervise' Combs and his inner circle.

'Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 billion lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday,' attorney Shawn Holley told TMZ.

'His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.

'We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr Jones' attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr Blackburn refuses to return our calls.'

Earlier this week Combs senior was forced to deny gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in his Manhattan recording studio, claiming a photograph of her sitting in his lap 'isn't accurate'.

His filing in the same New York court denies her claim that Combs, his longtime friend Harve Pierre and a third unidentified man flew her to his New York studio before plying her with 'copious amounts of drugs and alcohol in 2003.

The anonymous accuser, now in her late 30s, has backed her bombshell claims with now-contested photographs of herself sitting on the I'll Be Missing You singer's lap and goofing around in his Manhattan studio.

In November of last year, Combs settled a federal lawsuit brought by R&B singer Cassie, real name Casandra Ventura, after she hit out with rape accusations. 

'I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,' Cassie said in a statement.

The suit alleged he controlled and abused her for over a decade - as well as plying her with drugs, beating her, and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes while he watched and recorded. 

The pair, who met in 2005 when she was aged 19, split in 2018. The lawsuit claimed that just before the end of their relationship, he forced his way into her home and raped her. 

After Ventura launched her lawsuit, Liza Gardner and Joie Dickerson-Neal also filed papers claiming the rapper sexually assaulted them in the early 1990s.

Combs sent out a tweet denying the accusations in December and saying that all allegations made against him are from people 'looking for a quick payday'.

The star stepped down as chairman of Revolt TV in November and saw Hulu scrap a planned reality TV show that would have featured his family, in December.

Within an hour of December's lawsuit being filed, Combs emphatically denied all accusations against him in a tweet that has already been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people

Last month he withdrew his lawsuit against drinks giant Diageo which he had accused of racism over its treatment of his sponsorship deal.

And earlier this month he skipped the Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles despite being nominated for the first time in 20 years in the best progressive R&B Album category for the album that Jones helped produce.

He has never been convicted, and recently settled a bombshell rape lawsuit brought by R&B singer Cassie - just one day after it was filed.

In December he issued a statement denying the allegations against him, saying 'enough is enough'. 

'Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth,' he added.
