Following Cassie's bombshell lawsuit against Diddy, which contained countless damning allegations, various individuals have come forward to accuse the Bad Boy Records founder of assault. In December, a woman alleged that she was raped by Diddy, Harve Pierre, and another unnamed man. She claims that the incident took place at an NYC studio in 2003 when she was 17 years old.
Since she filed her suit, Diddy and his team have been pushing for the woman to lose anonymity. They argue that the mogul and his codefendants would suffer prejudice if their identities were public while hers remained private. Now, they've scored a small victory in the case, as the judge has denied her motion to move forward anonymously.
Judge Sides With Harve Pierre & Diddy In Assault Case
Diddy is currently trying to get the suit tossed out, but if the court decides not to dismiss the case, her identity will be made public. Much like his responses to the several other lawsuits filed against him in recent months, Diddy denies the allegations. "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH," he wrote in December. "For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday."
"Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged," he added at the time. "I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth." What do you think of a judge ruling that Diddy's sexual assault accuser cannot remain anonymous? Are you surprised?
