COURTHOUSE,
Jan 8 – In May 2024 Crystal
McKinney sued Sean Combs for
sexual assault under the NYC
Gender Motivated Violence in
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York.
The suit
recounts Combs inviting
McKinney to Cipriani Downtown
- in 2003 - then to his studio
on West 44th Street where he
drugged and assaulted her,
according to the
complaint.
On October 20,
Jane Doe sued Combs alleging
she was raped in 2000 at the
age of thirteen. On Sunday,
December 8 she / the Buzbee
firm filed an amended
complaint that
"Defendant Sean
Combs (a/k/a “P. Diddy,” a/k/a
“Puff Daddy,” a/k/a “Diddy,”
a/k/a “PD,” and a/k/a “Love”),
along with his longtime friend
and collaborator Shawn Carter
(a/k/a “JayZ”), drugged and
raped a thirteen-year-old girl
at an afterparty following the
2000 Video Music Awards.
Another celebrity stood by and
watched as Combs and Carter
took turns assaulting the
minor." Amended complaint on

On December 9,
Quinn Emanuel's Alex Spiro put
in a notice of appearance for

after another letter alleging
a shakedown, Buzbee fired

allegations for what they are:
a sham." Filing on Patreon here.
On December 18,
Spiro filed again, on

Judge Torres allowed continued

Spiro: "Carter’s lawyer’s
relentless filing of combative
motions containing
inflammatory language and ad
hominem attacks is
inappropriate, a waste of
judicial resources, and a
tactic unlikely to benefit his
client." Order on Patreon here
