Celebrity publicist and music producer Jonathan Hay has revealed himself as plaintiff ‘John Doe’ in a Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs lawsuit filed earlier this year in LA Superior Court. The lawsuit was originally filed on July 7, 2025, against Sean Combs and CJ Wallace, the son of murdered rapper Biggie Smalls, better known as Notorious B.I.G.
In an exclusive interview with investigative reporter Paul Smith, Jonathan Hay explained why he chose to publicly reveal his identity in connection with such a high-profile case. “It’s about pushing for criminal charges. I want all Diddy’s victims to have justice. For me, it was the right thing to do. Having a voice is important.”
Hay, who has worked with musical legends like Rihanna, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston, highlights the serious allegations against Combs, including sexual battery and false imprisonment. He describes a reckless environment at Combs’ mansion, where drug use and wild parties were rampant and where he claims four people died under suspicious circumstances.
As Combs was recently sentenced to four years in prison following a publicized trial, Hay continues to push for more criminal charges at both state and federal levels. He is also working on a book and documentary that promise to unveil disturbing truths about the music industry, stating, “It’s all coming out, everything.” The accompanying visual narrative will be an essential look at the darker side of fame and the potential for accountability in an industry notorious for its excesses.
