MTV Star Sues P. Diddy for $60M Over Sexual Harassment and More

by

Sean Combs (also known as P. Diddy), who’s currently in prison, is dealing with several federal charges related to an ongoing investigation. Furthermore, this 55-year-old entertainer is under fire due to numerous lawsuits from various accusers. Recently, a new lawsuit was filed by a former contestant from one of his MTV reality TV shows from the early 2000s. In response to accusations of sexual harassment and more, Diddy’s legal team has come forward with a statement addressing these allegations.

Who Filed Suit Against P. Diddy And Why?

Sara Rivers, a former contestant on MTV’s “Making the Band,” is filing a lawsuit against Sean Combs (also known as Diddy), alleging that he subjected her to sexual harassment, assault, and battery. People magazine reports that she also contends that the environment at Sean John was inhumane, with her being criticized for her appearance. Moreover, Rivers claims that Diddy made physical threats towards group members, threatening to eat one person’s face and kill another.

Sara Rivers asserts that several years ago, Sean Combs physically attacked her as they were walking down a corridor. The former star of MTV’s ‘MTB’, who featured on the show for three seasons between 2002 and 2004, alleges that after the entrepreneur shoved her against a wall, he moved close enough to kiss her and inquired about her well-being, asking if she was okay and if she needed anything at all. Rivers further claims that during this incident, he readjusted the collar of her jacket and posed his question again while brushing his left hand across her breasts.

In simpler terms, the former Da Band member alleges that she faced verbal abuse from Diddy due to her personal issues with bulimia. She also states that because of this, Diddy started controlling her sleep and eating habits, even going as far as to monitor them closely. The plaintiff further argues that she was the only person subjected to such inappropriate and humiliating scrutiny by Defendant Diddy.

Sara Rivers has accused of not being fairly compensated for her work on stage. She also alleges that she and other members of Da Band received a fixed payment of $5,000 per person per show after filming three seasons of the mentioned TV show. With these claimed injustices, Rivers is pursuing a $60 million settlement through her lawsuit.

How Did Sean Combs’ Legal Team Respond To This Lawsuit?

As a movie reviewer, I felt compelled to share my perspective on the recent controversy surrounding Diddy’s legal battle. In a statement released by his team and shared with People magazine, Diddy’s representative vehemently denied the allegations leveled against him in this latest lawsuit. The embattled entrepreneur is currently grappling with an array of other legal issues, and in response to these claims, he firmly stated his innocence. The rep emphasized that Diddie, a man known for his resilience, will continue to face each challenge head-on.

Here’s another way of saying this: Once more, false accusations are being made against Mr. Combs, but it is important to note that he has never been involved in any sexual assault or trafficking – regardless of the gender or age of the individuals involved. The current era allows anyone to file a lawsuit for various reasons. With the deadline for New York’s Gender-Based Violence Act approaching tomorrow, it seems like people are hurriedly filing baseless lawsuits at the last minute. Mr. Combs remains hopeful that he will emerge victorious in court.

On various occasions, Sean Combs’ legal team has defended him during legal disputes. Recently, they submitted documents stating that the searches conducted at Combs’ homes in 2024 created an unfair portrayal of their client’s private affairs, claiming it resulted in a “significantly skewed perspective.” Additionally, papers have been filed regarding his “Freak Off” events, where his team asserts that one of the accusers gave consent for their involvement.

Besides Sara Rivers’ legal issue, the artist known for “Coming Home” is dealing with a dozen others, including allegations of sexual misconduct, violence, and more. Most of these cases have been managed by attorney Tony Buzzbee based in Texas. Recently, 14 new complaints were filed against Combs, along with Rivers’, with nine women bringing fresh accusations against Diddy and five men doing the same.

Currently, Sean Combs (also known as Diddy) is under federal investigation for alleged offenses including racketeering, extortion, sex trafficking, and facilitating prostitution. He’s being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, sharing a cell with Luigi Mangione and others. His trial, scheduled to start on May 5, will determine where he stays until then. The outcome of the lawsuit filed by Sara Rivers and other recent plaintiffs remains uncertain.
