Summary

  • Diddy filed a $100 million USD defamation lawsuit against Courtney Burgess, his attorney and NewsNation
  • He alleges that Burgess and his attorney fabricated and broadcast false claims about him
  • The lawsuit claims the false statements caused severe reputational harm and prejudice

Sean “Diddy” Combs has filed a $100 million USD defamation lawsuit against Courtney Burgess, his attorney Ariel Mitchell, and NewsNation’s parent company, Nexstar. The legal action is a significant escalation of a previous $50 million USD lawsuit and alleges that the defendants deliberately fabricated and broadcast false claims about Combs for their own profit.

The lawsuit centers on statements Burgess and Mitchell made during separate interviews on NewsNation. According to the court documents, Burgess, who Combs’ team claims he has never met, alleged he was given flash drives containing videos of Combs engaged in sexual assault with celebrities and minors. Combs’ legal team asserts that these tapes are completely fabricated and that the defendants’ claims were made with a “reckless disregard for the truth.”

The lawsuit, originally filed for $50 million USD, was amended to a staggering $100 million USD in damages. Combs’ attorneys argue this increase is warranted due to the “severe reputational harm” caused by the statements, which they claim led to a “media frenzy” that has tainted public perception and jeopardized his right to a fair trial.

In addition to defamation, the lawsuit claims the defendants engaged in a “willful scheme to fabricate and broadcast outrageous lies” to enrich themselves and gain social media fame. The complaint accuses NewsNation of amplifying these “blatant falsehoods” without proper due diligence. The legal action is a direct response to the claims, which Combs’ team argues have created immeasurable harm and prejudice.
