    UPDATE: Diddy’s Legal Team Files Motion To Dismiss Claims In Lawsuit Alleging He Sexually Assaulted A Woman In 1991

    More Details Regarding Diddy’s Reported Response To The Sexual Assault Lawsuit

    According to AP News, Combs’ legal team filed the motion on Friday, April 26. The music mogul’s legal team is reportedly asserting that Diddy cannot be sued for particular claims in the lawsuit because “certain laws didn’t exist” when the incidents allegedly occurred in 1991.

    Diddy’s legal team is reportedly asking for Joi Dickerson-Neal’s claims about “revenge porn and human trafficking” to be “dismissed with prejudice.”

    CNN notes that Combs’ attorneys are continuing to label Dickerson-Neal’s allegations “false, offensive, and salacious.” Additionally, Diddy’s attorneys are reportedly asking that “allegations against Combs’ company” be dismissed as well. To note, TMZ reports that the request refers to Diddy’s companies, “Bad Boy Records or Bad Boy Entertainment.”

    However, TMZ notes that Diddy’s team has not filed to dismiss the first “two counts” in the lawsuit. Those claims allege Combs inflicted “assault,” battery, and “intentional infliction of emotional distress” on the plaintiff.

    More Details Regarding The Lawsuit & Allegations

    As The Shade Room previously reported, Dickerson-Neal filed the suit against Combs in November 2023. Furthermore, the suit was reportedly filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act.

    At the time, it was reported that Dickerson-Neal accused Diddy of sexually assaulting her after a date in 1991. Diddy allegedly gave the woman a drug. Then, allegedly sexually assaulted her at a music studio.

    According to AP News, the woman accused Combs of recording the assault. Additionally, she alleged he shared the footage with friends.

    In an initial response to the lawsuit, a spokesperson for the mogul reportedly denied the allegations. Additionally, they labeled the claims a “money grab.”

    “This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head. Ms. Dickerson’s 32-year-old story is made up and not credible. Mr. Combs never assaulted her, and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more,” their statement read, per New York Post.

We couldn’t be any prouder to premiere this program on REVOLT.”
