Diddy‘s latest accuser is being questioned on several key things after filing a lawsuit full of heavy allegations of sexual misconduct … but his attorney has all the answers.
Rodney Jones‘ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, is firing back after people started questioning his client’s claims … with the first being Rodney’s allegation that Diddy forced him to watch a video involving Stevie J having sex with another man.
Remember, Stevie J told us earlier today that all the allegations concerning him were totally bogus — and an adult film star Knockout has since come forward and said he’s the man in the now-viral pic from the supposed sex tape and not SJ. So … what gives, right?
Tyrone tells TMZ the video in question was allegedly provided to Rodney by Diddy himself, and we’re told Rodney’s sticking to his story that Diddy told him it was Stevie J — that’s what he’s alleging anyway.
In terms of who it actually is … Tyrone says his client only knew what was allegedly relayed to him when it first fell into his lap during his time with Diddy.
Tyrone also offers an explanation over another question that’s been raised — namely, why Rodney made no mention of sexual assault in his GoFundMe page a few weeks before the lawsuit was filed Monday … where he literally tried to raise funds in an attempt sue Diddy after claiming he screwed out of royalties and publishing rights on Diddy’s latest album.
Tyrone tells us, “Victims of sexual assault respond to their trauma in very different ways. There is no uniformity in response to sexual trauma.”
He adds … “Mr. Jones is a father and Christian. He was willing to sacrifice his rights concerning his assault, in an effort to protect his dignity and the dignity of his family. Mr. Combs was made aware of Mr. Jones’ claim for assault from the moment Mr. Jones made his intentions to sue clear.”
Tyrone explains the main reason Rodney started the GFM was to pay his previous attorney … who was hired to assist with collecting the publishing and royalties money. Since then, his claims against Diddy have obviously expanded in scope … and now Tyrone’s involved.
Lastly … Tyrone also addresses speculation that Rodney isn’t the man with Cuba Gooding Jr. in a snap that was included in the complaint as purported evidence — where the actor is allegedly seen cozying up with another dude, which the suit says is Rodney.
Tyrone’s straight-up dismissing the conjecture that it ain’t Rodney … ’cause he says it 100% is. He actually claims they’ve got the video proof to back up their claims here.
Despite some holes people have tried poking in Rodney’s narrative — his attorney is remaining steadfast … and insisting his client is telling the truth.

Of course … Diddy has vehemently denied all of Rodney’s allegations.
