BREAKING :Judge dismisses five counts in $30 million lawsuit against rapper Diddy…See More
Judge J. Paul Etken granted and dismissed several charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs in a case where former producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a $30 million lawsuit accusing the musician of sexual assault. This is reported by Variety, writes UNN.
According to reports, Jones initially filed a lawsuit against Combs in New York in February 2024, claiming that Combs had made unwanted sexual advances and forced him to hire sex workers and engage in relationships with them.
Jones named Combs, as well as a “RICO organization” consisting of his son Justin, his chief of staff Christina Horram, Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge, former Motown Records CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam, numerous record labels, as well as Jane and John Doe. He then re-filed several amended complaints in the following months.
But in a ruling filed earlier, Judge J. Paul Etken granted and dismissed parts of Combs’ August 2024 motion to dismiss the case. The ruling also reprimanded Jones’ attorney Tyrone Blackburn, and his conduct regarding the motion was described as “disturbing.”
