Former Bad Boy president Harve Pierre is being named in a lawsuit and accused of grooming and sexually assaulting his assistant. This comes after Cassie's bombshell lawsuit against Diddy, which was quickly settled less than a week after it was filed.
According to a complaint filed in New York County Supreme Court, which was obtained by Rolling Stone, Pierre is accused of preying on the Jane Doe plaintiff “on multiple occasions in New York City and other locations throughout the country."
The anonymous assistant added, "Pierre used his position of authority as plaintiff’s boss to groom, exploit, and sexually assault her. Pierre engaged in a year-long pattern of grooming plaintiff, leading to sexual harassment of plaintiff, and sexual assault."
The accuser alleges that the abuse occurred from 2016 to 2017, which led to ensuing physical, emotional, and psychological injuries, along with pain and suffering. They are suing for damages that will "fully and fairly compensate" her.
Pierre, who met Diddy while they were attending Howard, started working at Bad Boy from 1992 to 1995, and he returned to become the label's president until December 2017. Bad Boy released a statement to the lawsuit, of which they are named, stating, "We have recently become aware of a lawsuit filed in New York by a former employee. The allegations are from many years ago that were never brought to the attention of the company. Neither the plaintiff nor the executive are current employees of the company. We are now investigating the allegations, and our top priority is the safety and well-being of our employees."
