Diddy is currently fighting a lawsuit where an anonymous woman accused him, Harve Pierre, and another unnamed man of sexually assaulting her in 2003.
As we previously reported, Diddy fired back at the lawsuit last week and claimed that his constitutional rights were being violated. “(Combs) never participated in, witnessed, or was or is presently aware of any misconduct, sexual or otherwise, relating to plaintiff in any circumstance whatsoever,” the filing reads. “Plaintiff’s decision to wait more than two decades to file her complaint has prejudiced defendant, as he has lost the ability to defend himself fully and fairly in this action.”
Now according to an exclusive report by AllHipHop, a supplemental memorandum of law was filed on Diddy’s behalf on February 23. Just like his previous filing it continues to deny any wrongdoing on his part. “The lawsuit… Has resulted in them becoming victims of the ‘cancel culture’ frenzy in the courts,” it reads. “Well before any evidence has been presented, and on the basis of rank, uncorroborated allegations.” Diddy and his team want the complaint dismissed with prejudice, arguing that the statute of limitations expired in 2010.
In the documents Diddy’s lawyer also spoke on the timing of the lawsuit and addressed the alleged photo that surfaced on social media of the woman allegedly sitting on Diddy’s lap in the studio. “The context, genuineness, and/or accuracy of the photographs are disputed,” his answer states. “Plaintiff’s decision to wait more than two decades to file her complaint has prejudiced defendant, as he has lost the ability to defend himself fully and fairly in this action,” he says. “For example, some or all evidence that otherwise would have been available if the action had been promptly commenced may be unavailable, lost, or compromised.”
Combs and his lawyers further argue the lawsuit should be barred because the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Act (GMVA) under which it was brought is purportedly “unconstitutional.”
“Allowing this action to proceed violates defendant’s rights under the U.S. Constitution and the New York State Constitution,” Diddy’s legal team stated.
After Diddy’s fourth lawsuit made headlines the mogul released a statement denying the allegations against him. “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 statement said.
