On mid October a
slew of cases were filed in
SDNY by the Tony Buzbee Firm,
including one by a woman who
states that she was raped by
Combs in Las Vegas in 2014.
and on May 13,
2025 Judge Vernon S. Broderick
to whom the case was assigned
issued this:
"The prejudice to
Defendants of Plaintiff
proceeding anonymously and the
public's interest in
monitoring proceedings about a
public figure outweigh
Plaintiff's interest in
proceeding under a pseudonym
in a case relating to her
sexual assault. Plaintiff
failed to show specific
threats or harms she would
face that would strengthen her
interest in proceeding
anonymously. In light of the
foregoing, Plaintiff's motion
for leave to proceed
anonymously is DENIED. It is
hereby: ORDERED that Plaintiff
shall file a deanonymized
version of the complaint no
later than May 20, 2025. IT IS
FURTHER ORDERED that no later
than May 30, 2025, Defendants
shall indicate either in a
short letter or in their reply
brief whether they renew their
pending Motion to Dismiss as
to Plaintiff's amended,
deanonymized complaint.

On May 21, the
red-lined amended complaint
was filed, with the plaintiff
naming herself: Shareka
Sherrod. Redline complaint on
