Diddy asks judge to throw out ‘false’ claim that he raped a teenager in 2003

On Friday (May 10), Diddy and his legal representatives went to court again in the hope that the ‘false’ accusation that he raped a 17-year-old teenager in 2003 will be dismissed. His lawyers say the accusation has caused “incalculable damage” to his reputation and to the other men accused in the victim’s lawsuit.

“Mr. Combs and his companies categorically deny the plaintiff’s decades-old narrative against them, which has caused incalculable damage to their reputations and business standing before any evidence was presented,” the court documents say.

Comb’s attorneys had also noted that the alleged victim could not remember the day, time or year of the incident, but “miraculously remembered other salacious details, despite her alleged incapacitation.” The defense team ultimately wants the case to be “dismissed with prejudice,” which would mean it cannot be refiled.

Diddy’s ongoing legal battle

Last year, an unnamed woman filed a lawsuit against Combs, claiming that while in high school she met Harve Pierre, then president of Combs’ Bad Boy record label. After chatting, Pierre flew to New York on a private plane and took her to a recording studio used by Diddy. She claimed she was given drugs and alcohol and later Combs and Pierre took turns raping her. Court documents also revealed that there was photographic evidence that she was indeed present in the studio and was depicted on Combs’ lap.

This is just one of a few lawsuits he has filed in recent months. Thanks to New York’s Adult Survivors Act, Combs’ ex, Cassie, and several other women came forward to share their stories earlier this year. Nearly a day after Cassie’s explosive lawsuit, news broke that she and Diddy had settled for a rumored $30,000,000.
