Cuba Gooding Jr. denies Rodney Jones’ sexual misconduct allegations in Sean Combs lawsuit

NEW YORK – Cuba Gooding Jr. is denying allegations of sexual misconduct by Rodney Jones, who included the actor in his bombshell lawsuit against Sean Combs.

Gooding, 56, claimed on Wednesday’s episode of the “PBD Podcast,” hosted by Patrick David-Bet, that Jones is in it for the money.

Jones, a music producer, filed a lawsuit against Combs in February, accusing the rapper of sexually harassing, drugging and threatening him.

The plaintiff also accused Gooding of “touching, groping and fondling” him when they met on Combs’ yacht in January 2023.

Gooding expressed shock at the allegations and said nothing inappropriate happened when he met Jones at the party thrown by Combs.

Jones offered to show Gooding a new Combs song on the yacht, the actor said. He said he heard the tune, left the party and “that was it.”

He was rambling about the federal raids on Combs’ homes earlier this year, saying, “God has led him down a path where I can’t imagine him being stupid enough to do what he’s doing.” and to keep it on his property.”

Last year, Gooding settled a rape lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan. He was sued in November for allegedly forcibly kissing and groping women in Manhattan bars.
