Some big names have already been revealed in lawsuits filed in court against Combs including a well known Dallas Megachurch pastor that is a known associate of the troubled star.

Dallas megachurch pastor of The Potter's House, Thomas Dexter (T.D.) Jakes, has been named in a lawsuit that associates him with Sean “P. Diddy” Combs.

According to USA Today, a civil lawsuit filed by music producer for Combs’ Bad Boy records Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, accuses Combs and several of his associates of participating in a "sex trafficking venture."

Jones alleges that for more than a year, Combs sexually harassed, drugged and threatened him. He's seeking $30 million in compensation and a jury trial. According to several reports, Jones civil lawsuit may potentially give criminal investigators a roadmap to prosecute Combs.

What Is Jakes' Role In The Lawsuit?

Jakes, who founded The Potter’s House in 1996 and reportedly has more than 30,000 members of the church with locations in Frisco, Fort Worth, Denver and Los Angeles, is NOT named as a defendant in the civil suit.

Jones states in his lawsuit that he has “irrefutable evidence” of “Mr. Combs detailing how he planned to leverage his relationship with Bishop T.D. Jakes to soften the impact on his public image of Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit.”

Jakes was accused of involvement in sex parties hosted by Diddy last year.

The pastor responded to the claims on Christmas Eve in the video above and you can skip to the 59:00 minute mark to see what he had to say. Diddy and Jakes have a reported history that includes a partnership with Revolt TV, Diddy visiting the pastor’s megachurch in Dallas, Texas and the pastor briefly attending the mogul’s 53rd birthday party.
