Odell Beckham Jr. is finally speaking out and making it clear — he’s not here for the lies. The NFL star has released a strong and heartfelt statement after his name was unexpectedly thrown into a recent amendment to the ongoing Diddy lawsuit.
As previously reported on Hollywood Unlocked, this legal drama has been unfolding since last year and has already drawn in multiple high-profile names. But now, Odell Beckham Jr., who was not initially part of the case, is clearing his name and setting the record straight.
New Lawsuit Claims Diddy Allegedly Oiled Up Male Accuser’s Body Before Sexual Assaults
“I have been informed of the allegations about me in a suit in [California]. I really can’t even believe that my name is mentioned in that matter,” Beckham said in a Monday statement. “There is absolutely no truth to those allegations. I do not know and have never met the person that filed the suit. I was not anywhere near Orinda, CA at that time. In fact, I don’t think I have ever been to Orinda, CA. 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.”
Odell’s tone is calm but firm — and if you’ve been following his journey, you know this man is focused on his career, not clout-chasing controversy.
The Lawsuit That Pulled Odell’s Name Into The Mix
On Friday, a bombshell amendment was filed in a lawsuit originally submitted by Ashley Parham back in October. The amended documents claimed that Odell Beckham Jr., along with comedian Druski (real name Drew Desbordes), allegedly gang-raped the plaintiff alongside Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2018.
At the time of the alleged incident, Beckham was playing for the New York Giants. There’s zero public record or photo evidence placing him anywhere near Orinda, California, during that time. In fact, Beckham himself says he doesn’t even think he’s ever stepped foot in that city.
Just for context, this lawsuit is part of a bigger wave of legal troubles hitting Diddy. The music mogul is currently facing three serious federal charges — forcible sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution purposes. His criminal trial is set to begin on May 5, and it’s expected to be a headline-making courtroom showdown.
Druski Also Denies Involvement In The Alleged Incident
It’s not just Odell speaking out. Druski has also issued a statement denying any involvement in this mess.
As rumors swirl and names continue getting dragged into legal chaos, it’s important to remember that allegations are not convictions. Both Beckham and Druski are confident that the truth will come to light — and based on their statements, they’re standing ten toes down on their innocence.
The Bigger Picture: Celebrity Scandals & Legal Accountability
This whole situation highlights a bigger conversation about how quickly public figures can be caught up in controversies they say they had nothing to do with. Social media moves fast, but facts take time.
While it’s crucial to take all claims seriously, it’s also just as important to wait for investigations and court proceedings before jumping to conclusions. Too many times, innocent people get caught in the crossfire of salacious headlines and clickbait culture.
Odell Beckham Jr. has always stayed focused on his craft — from the Giants to the Rams, and now with the Dolphins — his grind speaks louder than gossip. And if his statement is anything to go by, he’s not letting this distraction derail him.
