Sean “Diddy” Combs is denying incriminating claims.
The R&B musician filed a $50 million lawsuit against an accuser who, according to court documents obtained by E! News, alleged during a Sept. 27 appearance on NewsNation they possessed “videos of Mr. Combs involved in the sexual assault of celebrities and minors.” In addition to the accuser, Combs is suing their attorney Ariel Mitchell and Nexstar Media Group, which is the parent company of NewsNation, for propagating the claims.
Referring to the allegedly incriminating videos the accuser claimed to have in their possession, the lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York Jan. 22, alleges that all parties involved participated in a “willful scheme to fabricate and broadcast outrageous lies concerning Mr. Combs and then to leverage those falsehoods to gain social media fame, enrich themselves, and strip Mr. Combs of his reputation, livelihood, and right to a fair trial.”
E! News has reached out to the accuser, Mitchell and NewsNation for comment but has not heard back.
