Gooding Jr. hasn’t broken his silence on Jones’ lawsuit but hasn’t been seen with Diddy at all as of late. Diddy, for his part, has denied the allegations stemming from the lawsuit. “His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines,” a statement from his lawyers reads. It further argues: “We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with Mr. Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls. We will address these outlandish allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
