*Jodeci’s DeVante Swing has been implicated in one of the ongoing sexual assault cases involving disgraced music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
A woman named Liza Gardner filed a civil lawsuit in 2023 against Diddy and singer Aaron Hall. She accused the two men of providing drugs and alcohol to her and a friend before subjecting them to sexual assault in the 1990s. In a recent update to the case, Gardner alleges that DeVante, who was collaborating with Diddy at the time, orchestrated the situation that led to the assault and was present during the incident but did nothing to stop it, The Jasmine Brand reports.
According to Gardner, Swing was entrusted with her care as her “co-guardian” during a trip to New York, where the alleged assault occurred. The lawsuit outlines how her parents relied on him to ensure her safety, but instead, he allegedly coerced her to travel from North Carolina to New York and New Jersey. There, she was reportedly drugged and trafficked to Diddy.
Rolling Stone published an excerpt from the revised court document that reportedly states: “Unbeknownst to Ms. Gardner at the time…Defendant Swing was in the room when this assault took place and did not take any steps to prevent this abuse from occurring.”
Another woman who was allegedly assaulted by Diddy and Hall claims Swing was “leaning against the wall or furniture or something, watching whatever Puffy was doing to Liza.”
Gardner claims she was 16 when the incident happened and Swing was 21, noting that he “had a duty to protect the child as her parents entrusted him with her safety.”
She alleges that Swing is guilty of “providing a child with alcohol, and marijuana and prostituting the child to his A&R Combs.”
The Jasmine Brand reports that DeVanté has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
