"Defendants made these false and defamatory statements in bad faith, as part of a deliberate effort to damage Mr. Combs's reputation, undermine his business and, by painting him as debauched and a pedophile, to poison the public's perception of him and deprive him of a fair trial," Combs' legal team alleges.
