ORINDA, Calif.(TNND) — NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. said Monday there is “no truth” in allegations detailed in a lawsuit against him and other people in California.
His comment, which was in the form of a post on social media platform X, came less than a day after reports emerged on his alleged involvement in a rape of Ashley Parham, who has accused Sean Combs, or Diddy, of assaulting her.
“I have been informed of the allegations about me in a suit in CA. I really can’t even believe that my name is mentioned in that matter,” Beckham Jr. wrote. “There is absolutely no truth to those allegations. I do not know and have never met the person that filed the suit.”
Variety reported that the lawsuit’s mention of the player was an amendment to the original filing that contained rape accusations against Combs. Parham claimed she was raped in 2018 in an apartment in Orinda, California, a city Beckham Jr. said he has never visited.
“I was not anywhere near Orinda, CA at that time. In fact, I don’t think I have ever even been to Orinda, CA,” the player explained. “I have never done anything like that, and I would never do anything like that to anyone. I’m confident that these ridiculous claims against me will be dismissed.”
Comedian Drew Desbordes, who refers to himself as Druski on social media, was also named in the amended lawsuit, according to Variety. He claimed the allegation is a “fabricated lie.”
“I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 – I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish,” Desbordes said. “My heart breaks for actual victims of abuse, but I’m fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood and the individuals who are maliciously trying to game the legal system to peddle false narratives.”
