Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs files to dismiss Jane Doe’s sexual misconduct lawsuit



Trigger warning: Explicit sexual assault description ahead.

Sean “Diddy” Combs wants Jane Doe’s sexual misconduct lawsuit against him to be tossed.

According to TMZ, the rapper filed to dismiss the complaint with prejudice and argued that the statute of limitations on the statute under which Doe is suing has lapsed.

Via his attorneys, Combs also insisted that the suit did not include important details outside of her alleged assault.

Additionally, he feels she slapped a “trigger warning” on her filing to increase interest in her allegedly salacious claims.

“The sparse amendments to the original Complaint cannot remedy the falsehoods and incurable defects in the new pleading. Like the original Complaint, it fails to state any viable claim and must be dismissed,” Combs’ filing reads, per TMZ.

“Plaintiff cannot allege what day or time of year the alleged incident occurred, yet purports to miraculously recall the most prurient details with specificity. Accordingly, this case should be dismissed now, with prejudice, to protect the Combs Defendants from further reputational injury and before more party and judicial resources are squandered.”

Doe filed her suit in December 2023 — shortly after Combs settled his rape and abuse lawsuit filed by ex-girlfriend Cassie — alleging that he sex trafficked, drugged and gang raped her in 2003 when she was 17.

Doe alleged that she met Harve Pierre, the former president of Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment record label, at a nightclub in Detroit. Pierre allegedly told her she was “hot” and that Combs would love to meet her.

Pierre then allegedly called Combs and put Doe on the phone with the producer, who told her she should fly to New York City with Pierre.

She agreed; however, she alleged that she was forced to give Pierre — who had been smoking crack cocaine — oral sex before they boarded.

Upon landing, Doe claimed she was taken to Combs’ recording studio, where she was plied with drugs and alcohol by Combs, Pierre and a third assailant, who had flown with her and Pierre.

“While at the studio, Ms. Doe was gang raped by Mr. Combs, the Third Assailant and Mr. Pierre, in that order,” her complaint alleged.

Doe claimed Combs removed her underwear and forced himself on her as she “hung over” a bathroom sink.

He then allegedly “watched on as Third Assailant, who Ms. Doe had not even realized had begun to have sex with her, raped Ms. Doe as she told him to stop.”

After that, Pierre allegedly “took his turn at raping Ms. Doe and then violently forced her to give him oral sex, during which Ms. Doe was choking and struggling to breathe.”

Doe claimed she “fell into the fetal position” and that her “vagina was in pain.”

She added that she could “barely stand up” following the alleged gang rape and was helped into a car, which took her back to the airport. She said she has “limited” recollection of getting back to Michigan.

Doe’s suit included various photos that were “taken in the studio that night, leaving no doubt that Ms. Doe was in Mr. Combs’ New York City studio, with Mr. Combs, on the night she was raped.”
