Sean “Diddy” Combs is slamming the claims made by his former personal chef that she was forced to serve him and his friends while they were engaged in sexual activity.
According to the New York Daily News, a lawyer for Combs decried the claims as an attempt to extort money from Combs by chef Cindy Rueda and added that it was a violation of her agreement to settle any disputes over her employment via arbitration.
“Combs enterprises will not be extorted,” said lawyer Orin Snyder in a letter filed in court on Friday, adding that the lawsuit Rueda had brought against Combs was “infected with distortions, omissions and outright falsehoods.”

“Your motives are clear: To threaten to slander and impugn the reputation of our client in the hopes of extracting a settlement. This smacks of bad faith — and worse,” Snyder wrote.
Rueda has filed suit against Combs claiming that she was asked to serve a “post-coital meal,” and that when she arrived, he was naked and asked “if she was attracted to or liked his naked body.”
She also alleged that a male house guest had approached her while she was in the kitchen “in the nude to ask her to look at and admire his genitals after he had engaged in sexual activity with another house guest.”
She claimed that when she complained about the “regular exposure to sexual activity and harassing conversations” as well as her pay, she was “lured” into a situation in which she was accused of theft when a housekeeper approached her with a watch that she said had been in the trash and asked if she wanted it. Rueda accepted the watch and was then later accused of stealing it. But that story, Snyder said, was a fabrication.
“(The) claim that she was ‘lured into a situation where she could be accused of theft and ultimately terminated’ is particularly outrageous,” Snyder wrote in his letter.
Combs is now asking for a hearing to be held on Aug. 17.
