A model has denied a claim that she was a sex worker forSean “Diddy” Combsafter being named such in a recent lawsuit.

Over a month after producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jonesfiled a lawsuit against the music mogul, accusing him of sexual assault and harassment, Jade Ramey has now denied being a sex worker — another allegation made in the suit.Entertainment Tonightwas first to report the news.

The lawsuit alleged that she and two other women were “paid a monthly fee to work as Mr. Combs' sex workers.”

“Yes, I dated someone. Dating someone doesn’t directly correlate to any of the false allegations made,” Ramey tells PEOPLE in a statement. “How unfortunate we’ve entered a time where caring for someone or falling in love is worthy of scrutiny in the court of public opinion. What may be amusing for you is real life for others, and my feelings have never been for entertainment, nor are they up for discussion.”

“We need to be more conscious as a society when ridiculing people’s lives and relationships merely for enjoyment,” she continues. “I appreciate everyone’s kind messages and support during this time.”

A representative for Ramey — who was lastspotted outwith Diddy in Malibu in December 2022 — did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Diddy’s lawyer Shawn Holley told PEOPLE in a statement at the time that Jones' claims were “complete lies” and accused him of “shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday.”

“His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines,” Holley said. “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. "

In the lawsuit, the producer also accused Diddy of having “bragged about having several women on a monthly stipend” — a group of three women that Lil Rod claimed included Ramey. Another one of the women mentioned, Daphne Joy, has sincedenied the allegation.

“The claim that I am a sex worker is 100% false and character assassination. I am retaining an attorney to explore all legal remedies against both Rodney and his attorney,” Joy said.

Diddy’s recent legal troubles have extended beyond Jones' lawsuit, as late last month his properties in Los Angeles and Miamiwere raidedamid sex trafficking allegations.

“This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits,” Dyer added at the time. “There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
