Music executive Diddy has filed a counter-lawsuit, requesting that a judge dismiss a Jane Doe lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct against him.
The lady mentioned Cassie's name in her complaint and, incidentally, is represented by the same lawyers. She said she met Bad Boy Prez Harve Pierre "Diddy" in Detroit in 2003, only to be flown to Diddy's studio in New York City, where she believes she met Diddy, was given booze and narcotics, and was gang raped. She provided images from the alleged meeting.
In a court filing acquired by TMZ, Diddy's attorneys request that Jane Doe's complaint, in which she claims she was abused by Diddy and others when she was 17 years old in 2003, be dismissed with prejudice.
According to the lawyers, the statute of limitations on the statute she’s suing under has elapsed.
Diddy's attorneys also pointed out that the lady didn’t include many pertinent details outside of her alleged assault. They said this makes her claims paper thin and not worthy of being heard. They also insisted her allegations never happened.
They also said the fact she slapped a "trigger warning" on her original lawsuit, something they claim was likely done to drum up attention to the salacious nature of her claims, is completely without merit.
The music executives' lawyers wrote; "The sparse amendments to the original Complaint cannot remedy the falsehoods and incurable defects in the new pleading. Like the original Complaint, it fails to state any viable claim and must be dismissed.
"Plaintiff cannot allege what day or time of year the alleged incident occurred, yet purports to miraculously recall the most prurient details with specificity. Accordingly, this case should be dismissed now, with prejudice, to protect the Combs Defendants from further reputational injury and before more party and judicial resources are squandered."
