Harve Pierre, the former President of Bad Boy Entertainment, has been accused of sexual assault and grooming of his assistant in a lawsuit that was revealed on November 22nd. The complaint alleges that Pierre “used his position of authority as plaintiff’s boss to groom, exploit, and sexually assault her,” and the lawsuit indicates that the height of the alleged sexual abuse was in 2016 and 2017.
Bad Boy Entertainment, listed as the co-defendant in the complaint, has since released a statement saying they are currently investigating the allegations, and that their top priority is the safety and well-being of their employees.
Harve Pierre, commonly known as Joe Hooker, is a well-known producer and has collaborated with many R&B and hip-hop performers such as Notorious B.I.G and P. Diddy. He has been with Bad Boy Entertainment for over three decades before his departure.
This lawsuit has come shortly after Sean Combs, otherwise known as P. Diddy or Puff Daddy, was subject to a federal lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend and former artist Cassie Ventura. Ventura accused the rapper of physical and sexual abuse, including trafficking, before coming to a settlement. It was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily allows victims of sexual abuse to file civil cases that have passed the statute of limitations within one year.
Harve Pierre has not yet released a statement. The accusations against him come at a time when many are speaking up for themselves and others who have faced violence and abuse in their relationships. Both Ventura and the anonymous plaintiff’s suits are a reminder of the courage it takes to come forward and the strength that victims of sexual assault possess.
