Working up and appetite: rapper Diddy sued by former chef over ‘post-coital’ dining

Rap mogul Diddy has been sued by a personal chef who says she worked long hours without extra pay and was made uneasy by serving meals after sex parties.

Cindy Rueda sought an unspecified amount in damages for allegations – denied by Diddy – that include sexual harassment and failure to pay overtime wages.

Rueda said she sometimes worked from 9am to 2am as she cooked at the Los Angeles home of Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs and was formerly known as Puff Daddy.

The lawsuit filed on Monday in a Los Angeles court said the rapper would ask Rueda “to prepare and serve entrees and appetisers to him and his guests while Mr. Combs and his guests were engaged in or immediately following sexual activity”.

The lawsuit said she at least once “was summoned by Mr. Combs to serve him a post-coital meal” in which he made suggestive remarks.

On at least one other occasion, she said a naked male visitor entered the kitchen as she cooked and asked her “to look at and admire his genitals after he had engaged in sexual activity with another house guest”.
