Diddy's legal team has firmly denied all allegations made against him, including those by Jane Doe who claimed she left his residence emotionally shaken and physically impaired after an alleged incident in 1999. His attorneys stated that regardless of how many lawsuits are filed, particularly by anonymous individuals, it won't change their position that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone.

Why did Diddy and his lawyers fail to prevent Cassie Ventura's lawsuit from becoming public?
Diddy and his lawyers misplayed their hand during settlement negotiations with Cassie Ventura. Despite discussions involving $10-30 million, they were unable to reach an agreement before she filed her lawsuit. They failed to anticipate that Cassie was running out of time due to New York State's statute of limitations, which created urgency for her to file. Once Cassie filed the lawsuit, it became public the very next day, and by then it was too late for Diddy to prevent the exposure. This strategic miscalculation led to the lawsuit becoming public, which subsequently opened the door for additional accusers to come forward with similar allegations against him.
