Diddy Dismisses Ex-Nanny’s Move To Sanction Him In New Lawsuit Motion: Report

December 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s legal trouble turned much nastier this year thanks to accusations of sexual assault, and his other lawsuits still rage on. Moreover, a new development emerged in his ex-nanny Raven Wales-Walden’s case against him for alleged wrongful termination, according to court documents obtained by Radar Online. Specifically, she claimed that Sean Combs and his team refused to provide important legal documentation in this case, asking for compensation in the form of $5,000. “Defendants have been completely evasive in their discovery responses,” Wales-Walden’s lawyer stated concerning this aspect. He provided this paperwork, but blasted these moves in court via his legal representative.

“Instead of filing the Motion and wasting Court and party resources, [Raven] should have consulted with [him] on a production schedule in order to understand when they would be producing the documents they committed to,” Diddy’s affiliate expressed. “Sanctions are not warranted under these circumstances, the documents sought have been produced. The Motion was irrelevant to [Diddy’s] production, and [Raven’s] counsel manufactured a dispute that did not exist.” What remains now is to see whether the court will ask for more from these documents or instead become more cautious with Wales-Walden’s requests.

Furthermore, for those unaware, this case emerged in 2022 when Raven Wales-Walden sued Diddy for wrongful termination. She claims to be a relative of his late ex-partner, Kim Porter, and claims he fired her when he found out she was pregnant out of wedlock in 2020. Puff Daddy sought to dismiss this lawsuit in May of this year with the help of a Los Angeles Superior Court judge. According to him, Wales-Walden did not “satisfactorily perform her job responsibilities, and otherwise conduct herself in accordance with the standards and policies of Combs Defendants.”

Meanwhile, the Bad Boy mogul alleged that he acted through “reasonable steps to prevent and correct workplace discrimination (if any) and to implement internal grievance processes designed to respond to, correct, remedy, or otherwise avoid the alleged harm, if any. [Raven] unreasonably failed to utilize the preventive and corrective measures that the Combs Defendants provided. Reasonable use of such procedures would have prevented at least some of the harm (if any) that [Raven] alleges to have suffered. [She was] not performing all of her job duties as required. There were some days that [Raven] received compensation for work that [she did] not perform. Thus, wages [were] paid to [Raven] that were not owed.” For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, stick around on HNHH.

Chrisean Rock Hires Nanny As Junior Turns Two Months Old: “He’s Growing, He’s Strong”

November 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Motherhood likely hasn’t been exactly what Chrisean Rock was expecting, but still, the 23-year-old is doing her best to learn from her mistakes and show up for Junior as often as possible. Today (November 3), the infant is celebrating two months of life, and his mom is clearly in her feelings while marking the milestone for him. Earlier this afternoon she sent out a commemorative tweet to allow others in on the occasion. It’s since gotten plenty of positive attention for the mother-son duo.

It’s been speculated that Rock’s intent in getting pregnant was to keep her baby daddy, Blueface, in her life. However, if true, those plans have backfired as the Baltimore native has been raising their son virtually on her own since giving birth in September. She and the little one have had their share of viral mishaps, but rather than letting overwhelm get the best of her, Chrisean shared on Instagram Live that she’s hired a maid to help keep up with housework and other chores.

Chrisean Rock Celebrates Her Son’s Growth

“I thank God for help because I cannot be the maid and the mommy at the same time. That s**t’s like, not my type of style,” Rock told her followers ahead of the weekend. According to her, having a full house to take care of is far too much responsibility with a newborn, and she would rather channel her energy toward Chrisean Jr. and his well-being.

Later on in her stream, the Baddies cast member showed how much her firstborn has grown in just two months. “He’s growing, he’s strong,” Rock said, updating us on Junior’s health after his hernia surgery.

Diddy Accused Of Withholding Evidence In Ex-Nanny’s Wrongful Firing Case

October 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As successful as this year was for Diddy, it also came with its fair share of legal complications and cases. For example, one that developed towards the end of 2022 and carried over into 2023 has to do with a nanny that he fired. Raven Walden sued the Bad Boy mogul in September of last year for wrongful termination, alleging that he let her go because she requested maternity leave and “set a bad example” for his daughters by getting pregnant out of wedlock. Now, according to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Walden requested that the court force him to hand over evidence she requested in the case months ago.

Not only that, but Walden and her lawyers want a judge to impose sanctions on Diddy for his negligence in this. Specifically, they accused him of improper proceedings in the discovery process, as they allegedly controlled what the court and the case had access to. According to the plaintiff’s team, Sean Combs and his legal team “abused the discovery process with impunity and have shown no regard for this Court’s directions to them, their own promises, or their discovery obligations.” As such, it will be interesting to see how this case develops in court when this debacle over evidence is such a big component.

In response to all this, Diddy sought to dismiss this lawsuit promptly, and fired off some counterclaims at Walden. Maintaining that he fired her for good-faith and non-discriminatory reasons, he alleged that she “[wasn’t] performing all of her job duties as required.” In addition, Puff Daddy stated that Walden “received compensation for work that was not performed, thus resulting in wages being paid to [her] that were not owed.” This is relevant because Walden seeks an unspecified amount in damages for the allegedly wrongful termination, which he might counter with these claims of overpayment.

Meanwhile, the music executive also detailed steps to “implement internal grievance processes designed to respond to, correct, remedy, or otherwise avoid the alleged harm, if any.” He said Walden didn’t take advantage of these, and thus her grievances are less justified. We’ll see where the court sides on these matters. For more news and updates on Diddy, log back into HNHH.

Diddy Moves To Dismiss Wrongful Termination Lawsuit From Nanny

May 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy believes that the former nanny suing him for wrongful termination simply didn’t do a good job. Moreover, according to court documents from a Radar Online report, he filed a motion on Wednesday (May 17) to dismiss all issues brought forth by Raven Wales-Walden. What’s more is that she is allegedly related to the Bad Boy mogul’s late ex, Kim Porter. Specifically, Wales-Walden sued him in 2022 and her accusations revolve around her revealing to the star that she was pregnant, which prompted him to fire her in 2020. Now, the rap icon’s official response fought back against these wrongful termination claims.

According to Sean Combs, Wales-Walden did not “satisfactorily perform her job responsibilities, and otherwise conduct herself in accordance with the standards and policies of Combs Defendants.” Also, his response alleged that he took “reasonable steps to prevent and correct workplace discrimination (if any).” Other actions Diddy claimed to take were to “implement internal grievance processes designed to respond to, correct, remedy, or otherwise avoid the alleged harm, if any.” However, the “Creepin’” MC said that the ex-nanny didn’t take advantage of these resources.

“[Wales-Walden] unreasonably failed to utilize the preventive and corrective measures that the Combs Defendants provided,” Diddy’s response continued. “Reasonable use of such procedures would have prevented at least some of the harm (if any) that [Wales Walden] alleges to have suffered. [Wales-Walden was] not performing all of her job duties as required… There were some days that [Wales-Walden] received compensation for work that was not performed, thus resulting in wages being paid to [Wales-Walden] that were not owed.” Still, the 53-year-old is not the only one the nanny brought up in her legal action.

Wales-Walden’s suit also names Tri Star Sports and others, further explaining that she became a full-time nanny before termination. After Porter passed away from pneumonia in November of 2018, she took care of Porter’s twins with Diddy. However, she claimed that the hip-hop businessman became “infuriated” when she revealed her pregnancy. Not only that, but his team allegedly said she set a bad example for his daughters by being pregnant and unmarried. It’s unclear how much she seeks in damages, but Diddy denied all these allegations and questioned her true relation to Kim Porter.

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Never Hired A Nanny After Son’s Birth

February 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna says that she and A$AP Rocky chose not to hire a nanny after the birth of their son. The iconic singer discussed motherhood during an interview with British Vogue after headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show, earlier this month. Rihanna and Rocky welcomed their first child together in May 2022. Rihanna is currently pregnant with their second child.

“We came home, cold turkey, had no one. It was just us as parents and our baby,” Rihanna told the outlet. “I cannot believe it,” she said. “Essentially, from one person I became two. You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts. And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane. You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to.”

“Man, you’re a zombie for the most part,” she continued. “You’re just going through the motions and even then you’re so paranoid. Because you’re like: they trusted us to come home with this baby? This new life? With us? No doctors, no nurses, we’re just… going home?”

Rihanna also described the first several months with their child as “legendary.” She explained: “It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever. You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because…. Because it doesn’t matter.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Rihanna discussed her next album, admitting that she wants to drop it at some point this year. “I want it to be this year,” Rihanna told the outlet. “Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.” She added: “I realized that if I keep waiting until this feels right and perfect and better, maybe it’s going to keep taking forever and maybe it’ll never come out and no, I’m not down to that.”
