Thursday, October 31, 2024 - A judge has ruled that a 'Jane Doe' who filed allegations against Diddy as an anonymous person has to 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 aforementioned 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.
