Friday, November 1, 2024 - A judge has ruled that a 'Jane Doe' who filed
allegations against Diddy as an anonymous person must file a complaint against
the music executive under her own name by November 13 or the case would be
thrown out.
Earlier
this month, Attorney Tony Buzbee announced that he'd be representing 120
individuals planning to take legal action against Diddy. One of these
individuals, who chose to remain anonymous, accuses the Bad Boy founder of
sexually assaulting her in 2004. Now, Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil has ruled that
the accuser has not proven she's entitled to remain anonymous.
According
to TMZ, the Judge describes Jane Doe as an adult who "decided to file a
lawsuit in which she accuses a famous person of engaging in heinous conduct
approximately 20 years ago." As a result, she must file a complaint under
her name by November 13. If she doesn't, the case will reportedly be thrown
out.
Shortly
after attorney Buzbee's a forementioned press conference, Diddy's legal team
released a statement on his behalf.
“As Mr.
Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation
in what has become a reckless media circus," one of his lawyers, Erica
Wolff, told Rolling Stone.
"That
said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory
any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to
proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are
filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not
speculation."
Judge
Vyskocil's ruling comes just a few days after Diddy was hit with two new
lawsuits. In them, he's accused of sexually abusing two minors.
