A Former Assistant Accuses Former Bad Boy Records Executive, Harve Pierre of Grooming, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault

In a recent lawsuit, a former assistant, who wishes to remain anonymous, has accused Harve Pierre, a longtime executive of Bad Boy Records, of "using his position of authority" to "groom, exploit, and sexually assault her." 

The lawsuit was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, which allowed a period of one year for people who are survivors of sexual assault in New York to seek justice even if the statute of limitations had passed.

According to the anonymous assistant, Pierre "engaged in a year-long pattern of grooming plaintiff, leading to sexual harassment of plaintiff, and sexual assault." 

The filing claims that Pierre sexually assaulted the plaintiff on "multiple occasions in New York City and other locations throughout the country" during 2016 and 2017. As a result, she claims she suffered "physical, psychological, and emotional injuries."

The plaintiff is asking for damages that "will fully and fairly compensate" her for the alleged injuries. Alongside Pierre, Bad Boy Entertainment, Bad Boy Records and Combs Enterprises, LLC have been named as co-defendants and have been accused of gender-motivated violence and negligence.

"Defendants failed to properly supervise Pierre, properly supervise Plaintiff, and protect Plaintiff from a known danger, and, thereby enabled Pierre’s sexual assaults of Plaintiff," the lawsuit alleges.

The plaintiff also claimed the defendants "knew or should have known that Pierre was not fit to be in a position of authority."

Pierre has yet to respond to requests for comment.
