Sean “Diddy” Combs is fighting back against a lawsuit filed against him by a former employee, accusing those who filed it of attempting to pressure him into a settlement by publicizing salacious allegations. NBC News has obtained a motion filed by the embattled stars’ legal team to dismiss a lawsuit filed by attorney Tyrone Blackburn on behalf of his client, music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones. The motion was filed in the U.S District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday.
“A reasonable inference from Blackburn’s pattern of behavior is that he improperly files cases in federal court to garner media attention, embarrass defendants with salacious allegations, and pressure defendants to settle quickly,” Cote wrote. Blackburn told NBC News in April that no grievance has been filed against him. “If you want to report what Judge Cote wrote I suggest you review the entire docket and your reporting is thorough and accurate,” he said at the time.
