Diddy and his team want a New York judge to force his alleged sexual victim to reveal her identity, which her attorney called a scare tactic.
The alleged victim’s attorney, Jerffrey Anderson, opposed Diddy and Harve Pierre’s legal efforts to force her to reveal her name on Friday (August 23).
“Defendants’ motion is nothing more than a scare tactic and ploy to deter litigation against an already crumbling empire that can no longer hide behind the smoke screens of its money, power and fame,” her attorney Anderson argued.
Among the many cases involving Diddy and his associates, this suit specifically accuses Harve Pierre of sexually assaulting Jane Doe on various occasions between 2016 and 2017. The 2023 suit identifies her only as his former assistant. It also accuses Bad Boy Records of negligence and the suit against them claims that they enable Pierre’s alleged behavior.
Multiple women have sued Diddy and his associates over the past year. Many of his accusers have disclosed their identities, but two lawsuits involving Pierre were filed by women who wished to remain anonymous. The aforementioned Jane Doe has only been identified as Pierre’s former assistant.
“Because of my former employer’s power and influence, I fear that I will be harassed and ridiculed if my identity was made public in connection with these claims,” Doe stated. “I am concerned for my physical safety and the safety of my family.”
This is a source of shame and embarrassment for me,” Jane Doe said of this Diddy-related issue. “Should my identity be made public, I risk negative repercussions to my employment due to the stigma associated with being a victim of sexual assault. I fear others will view me negatively and my reputation will be negatively impacted. My mental health will suffer if I was forced to disclose my identity publicly. I should not have to be subjected to further harm in my efforts to seek accountability for what was done to me.”
