The Case

Apparently, Diddy would ask his chef Cindy Rueda to serve appetizers while he was having sex parties or immediately after. He would make suggestive remarks that Cindy wasn’t comfortable with. On more than one occasion Cindy was asked to serve naked people in the kitchen. She was fired for stealing a watch she had found in the garbage and was told to keep it only if she will stop complaining. This seems to be a story Diddy came up with in order to terminate her. Rueda worked from 9 pm to 2 am for Sean Combs, or Puff Daddy as everyone knows him now. She wasn’t paid much and her hours were not very accommodating. She was not paid for overtime work either. Her Los Angeles employment attorneys are seeking compensation for unpaid wages, overtime pay, and punitive damages. Diddy’s unclean records The singer and producer is also a fashion designer.
