Diddy is pushing back against allegations of sexual misconduct by filing a response in one of the numerous civil suits he is currently facing. His legal team argues that the alleged actions are time-barred as the statute of limitations expired years ago.
The lawsuit in question was filed by Crystal McKinney, who accused Diddy of sexual assault. In response, Diddy’s lawyers for Bad Boy Entertainment and Daddy’s House Recording sent a letter stating that the claims under the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law expired in 2010, seven years after McKinney alleges the assault took place.
While McKinney’s lawyers pointed to a local government ordinance that allowed for a revival period of claims, Diddy’s team cited New York State Law, which they claim takes precedence. According to state law, the time for McKinney to make her claim has passed.
In addition, the letter argues that Diddy’s companies cannot be held liable for the alleged misconduct as they did not facilitate it. This argument seeks to protect Bad Boy and Diddy’s other businesses from being implicated in the lawsuit.
McKinney’s lawsuit, filed in May, alleges that she met Diddy at a Men’s Fashion Week event in NYC and was later invited back to his studio. She claims that she was drugged during the encounter and forced to perform oral sex on Diddy, which ultimately led to her being blackballed from modeling and a subsequent suicide attempt.
Diddy, who was recently arrested for sex trafficking, has vehemently denied all allegations of misconduct against him. Despite these legal battles, both Diddy and Crystal McKinney have remained silent on the matter when approached for comment.
As the legal proceedings continue, it remains to be seen how this case will unfold and what implications it may have for both Diddy and McKinney.
