Sean “Diddy” Combs finds himself embroiled in a legal battle where he’s accused of participating in a gang rape, but he’s taken a new stance, asserting himself as a victim of “cancel culture.”
The lawsuit alleges that in 2003, Diddy, along with ex-Bad Boy President Harve Pierre and another unidentified man, sexually assaulted a woman, referred to as Jane Doe, both in a Detroit bathroom and at Diddy’s Daddy’s House studio in NYC.
In response to these allegations, Diddy filed a court document on February 23, challenging the claims and labeling the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Act as “unconstitutional.”
His legal team, representing Sean Combs, Daddy’s House Recordings, Inc., and Bad Boy Entertainment Holdings, Inc., is seeking dismissal of the civil case, citing violations of his rights. Diddy’s attorney, Jonathan Davis, argued that the allegations have caused irreparable harm to the defendants’ reputations and that they have become targets of the ‘cancel culture’ frenzy in the courts, even before presenting any evidence.
Diddy vehemently denies the allegations, stating, “(Combs) never participated in, witnessed, or was or is presently aware of any misconduct, sexual or otherwise, relating to plaintiff in any circumstance whatsoever.” Furthermore, he contends that the statute of limitations expired in 2010, rendering the claim time-barred. His legal team also disputes the authenticity and timing of the alleged photo showing the woman sitting on Diddy’s lap in the studio.
This lawsuit is not an isolated incident but follows a series of allegations against Diddy, including those from his ex-girlfriend Cassie. Despite settling with Cassie within 24 hours of the announcement of their case, Diddy continues to face accusations from other women.
In a statement released on social media, Diddy declared, “Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
The battle continues as Diddy and his legal team persist in their efforts to have the lawsuit dismissed, asserting his innocence and decrying what they perceive as an unjust targeting fueled by “cancel culture.”
