Diddy Mounts Vigorous Defense


Three months ago Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, was sued by a former mentee accusing him of sixual misconduct [click here if you missed that].

Diddy mounts a vigorous defense against the allegations...

Diddy seeks to dismiss serious sixual assault allegations dating back to the 90s, challenging the legal claims in New York.
“April Lampros filed this baseless lawsuit more than twenty years after the end of her romantic relationship with [Diddy] represented by an attorney who regularly sues celebrities and was recently chastised by a federal judge for ‘improperly fil[ing] cases to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, and pressure defendants to settle quickly,'” Diddy’s lawyer Erica Wolff said.
Furthermore, the lawsuit invokes New York City’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law (GMVL) and the Adult Survivors Act of 2022 (ASA) to support the claims. Diddy’s defense team contends that the GMVL claim is not applicable retroactively, as some of the alleged incidents predate the law’s enactment.
Based on the arguments presented, Diddy and Bad Boy Records seek to dismiss the lawsuit. The legal battle continues as both sides present their case before the court.
