Diddy was recently hit was another lawsuit and this time it was from former Danity Kane member, Dawn Richard. 

We recently reported that Richard filed a lawsuit citing sexual and emotional abuse from media mogul. Her lawsuit states that she was also berated and belittled by Diddy during her time on “Making The Band.” 

Richard claims that she also witnessed the abuse that Diddy inflicted on his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. She said that she witnessed Diddy throw Cassie into a wall, and dragged her up a flight of stairs. Her lawsuit also details the times she and other people would try to encourage Cassie to leave him. However, Diddy would threaten to end their careers if they interfered with his relationship. 

Since being hit with this new lawsuit, Diddy’s lawyer Erica Wolff issued a statement denying all allegations. “Mr. Combs is shocked and disappointed by this lawsuit. In an attempt to rewrite history, Dawn Richard has now manufactured a series of false claims all in the hopes of trying to get a payday — conveniently timed to coincide with her album release and press tour.”

The statement continued, “If Ms. Richard had such a negative experience with Making the Band and Danity Kane, she would not have chosen to continue working directly with Mr. Combs for Dirty Money, nor would she have returned for the Making the Band reboot in 2020 or agreed to be featured on ‘The Love Album’ last year,” it also reads. “It’s unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship aside to try and get money from him, but Mr. Combs is confidently standing on truth and looks forward to proving that in court.” 

This news comes after Diddy recently lost a $100 million lawsuit from another one of his accusers. What are your thoughts on this?
