Diddy Fires Back At Gang Rape Claims, Says Acuser Is Violating His Constitutional Rights

by

Diddy says his constitutional rights are being violated in the lawsuit accusing him of gang-raping and sex trafficking a Jane Doe in 2003. The victim alleges the Bad Boy mogul, Harve Pierre, and a third man gang-raped her at Diddy’s New York City recording studio. It’s one of several allegations of sexual misconduct Diddy has faced in recent months.

“(Combs) never participated in, witnessed, or was or is presently aware of any misconduct, sexual or otherwise, relating to plaintiff in any circumstance whatsoever,” his filing reads. He goes on to argue that the photos of the accuser sitting on his lap at his recording studio lack proper context.

He continues: “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.” From there, the filing adds that most evidence that could clear his name may be lost after so many years since the incident. He further argues that the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Act (GMVA) is fundamentally unconstitutional. “Allowing this action to proceed violates defendant’s rights under the U.S. Constitution and the New York State Constitution,” the filing says. The slew of lawsuits filed against Diddy began last November with Cassie. After the two quickly settled, several more alleged victims came forward with stories of abuse.

Harve Pierre filed a similar response to the lawsuit in court on Tuesday. His filing says he “never participated in the sexual assault of the plaintiff nor did he ever witness anyone else sexually assaulting the plaintiff.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy as well as the lawsuits against him on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy & Harve Pierre Want Jane Doe To Lose Anonymity In Gang Rape Lawsuit: Report

by

Diddy and Harve Pierre reportedly want the Jane Doe accusing them of gang rape to lose her anonymity. While the defendants already know who she is, they want her identity to be a matter of public record. The alleged victim’s lawyer, Douglas H. Wigdor, argues that the high-profile nature of the case, in conjunction with the fact she was underage at the time of the alleged assault, should give her grounds to keep her identity private.

“On December 9, 2023, counsel for [Diddy and Harve Pierre] indicated that they do not consent to [Jane Doe’s] motion to proceed anonymously,” Wigdor explained, as noted by AllHipHop. “Because of the high-profile nature of the Defendants, compounded with the fact that [Jane Doe] was only seventeen years old at the time of the sexual assault alleged in the Complaint, she should be permitted to proceed under a pseudonym and pursue her claims with anonymity. The media attention of this action would undoubtedly create a chilling effect on future plaintiffs in similar circumstances should Ms. Doe be forced to disclose her identity.”

He added: “[Jane Doe] has experienced significant trauma as a result of Defendants’ sexual assault and rape and would certainly experience significant harm if she is forced to reveal her identity to the public.” The woman is the fourth person to come forward with accusations against Diddy in recent weeks. The lawsuits began with Cassie in November, although she and Diddy settled a day later.

Diddy finally broke his silence on the lawsuits, earlier this month. Taking to Instagram, he wrote: “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.” From there, he labeled the allegations “sickening” and accused the victims of looking for a “quick payday.” He added: “I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.” Be on the lookout for further updates on the lawsuits against Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Snoop Dogg Is Victorious, Defeats Sexual Assault Lawsuit

by

Snoop Dogg has emerged as the winner in a lawsuit brought against him by a woman accusing him of sexual assault. The report comes from court documents obtained by Radar Online earlier today. A California judge dismissed most of the woman’s lawsuit. She had filed it under the pseudonym Jane Doe to protect her privacy. However, she was given the option to refile an amended complaint in federal court within a specific deadline. However, Jane Doe failed to meet the deadline to refile the claim, resulting in the dismissal of the entire lawsuit. Nevertheless, there remains a potential for her to file a case against Snoop Dogg in the future.

In July 2022, it was revealed that the woman, identified only as Jane Doe, initially filed a lawsuit in February. She alleged that Snoop Dogg had forced her to engage in oral sex with him. Snoop Dogg’s legal team dismissed the lawsuit. According to them, it was baseless and an attempt to extort money. The suit was voluntarily withdrawn in April. However, in a surprising turn of events, the woman and her legal team resubmitted the lawsuit in a California district court on July 20. The new filing included the original claims of sexual assault and sexual battery. It also included a defamation claim that was added in an amended complaint filed in March.

In the revived lawsuit, Jane Doe added new claims against Snoop Dogg. She alleged that he had intended to intimidate and coerce her into not exercising her constitutional rights. She said he did this through a subtly worded Instagram post addressing the original lawsuit. The post in question read, “Gold digger season is here, be careful Nefews keep ya guards up.” Notably, the lawsuit was filed just days before Snoop Dogg’s highly anticipated performance at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show, where he shared the stage with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, and Anderson .Paak.

Furthermore, the refiled lawsuit claimed that Snoop Dogg had threatened to pursue a malicious prosecution action against the woman, seeking tens of millions of dollars in retaliation. Allegedly, he also instilled fear and intimidation by authorizing his spokesperson to reveal her identity in a statement issued after the initial filing of the lawsuit. Regardless of this, the lawsuit has now been entirely dismissed. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.
