Sean 'Diddy' Combs Requests Dismissal of Some Claims in His Sexual Assault Lawsuit: Report

Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyers filed a motion to dismiss certain claims in the 1991 sexual assault lawsuit filed against him.

The legal documents, obtained by People, noted that Diddy's camp claimed that the revenge porn, human trafficking and more claims should be dismissed as they were reportedly "brought under statutes that did not exist at the time the alleged misconduct occurred."

Sean "Diddy" Combs' Lawyers File a Motion

The filing submitted by Diddy's lawyers targeted the sexual assault lawsuit filed by a woman who claimed the embattled rap mogul drugged and raped her while she was a student at Syracuse University in 1991.

Joi Dickerson-Neal, the accuser, was reportedly a victim of "revenge porn" as Diddy allegedly recorded the incident and spread the video in the music industry.

On the other hand, Diddy's lawyers said in the documents that the claims should not be considered as the New York State Revenge Porn Law and the New York Services for Victims of Human Trafficking Law only became effective in 2019 and 2007, respectively.

This followed the $200,000 lawsuit filed by Raven Production Management Group, LLC, in New York on April 9, alleging that Diddy, Phantom Labs, Inc. and tour manager Matthew Lupton "misrepresented their contractual relationship with Diddy and their financial arrangements."

What's the Other Case Involving Diddy?

The event design group reportedly received instructions from PNHTM to stop working on the red cube, which was supposed to be part of Diddy's unspecified project. It was reportedly supposed to receive $96,732 for the costs, but the group never had it.

"Raven performed its obligations under the contract by ordering materials and fabricating the cube. PHNTM breached the contract by failing to pay the agreed amount or to reimburse Raven for its materials costs. As a result of PHNTM's breach, Raven suffered damages of no less than $200,000, exclusive of fees and interest," the company continued, seeking $200,000 for breach of contract and no less than $96,732.00 for fraudulent inducement.

Raven also wanted the named individuals and groups to pay the attorney fees and other costs in the legal battle.

Diddy has yet to respond to the filing, but he has faced other lawsuits filed by his alleged accusers over the past months.
