LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit that accused him of sexual assault of a teenager.

The motion comes five months after the 54-year-old, former Bad Boy Entertainment president Harve Pierre and another individual termed "Third Assailant" were sued by a woman identified as Jane Doe in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The December 2023 filing accused the trio of sexual trafficking and abusing Doe when she was 17 years old. However, Combs has continuously denied all the claims in his ongoing sexual assault lawsuits.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' attorneys say Jane Doe made a 'hideous claim' against the rapper

According to court documents filed on Friday, May 10, Combs' attorneys claim that this is Doe's "second attempt to state an entirely false and hideous claim against the Combs Defendants."

Referring to the plaintiff's use of "trigger warning" in her pleading as "legally irrelevant," the motion alleges that it is a "stunt" "intended to prominently showcase a baseless and time-barred claim, which was designed to cause the Combs Defendants unwanted publicity, embarrassment, and financial costs."

What does the Sean 'Diddy' Combs' motion to dismiss his rape case state?

"Mr. Combs and his companies categorically deny Plaintiff’s decades-old tale against them, which has already caused incalculable damage to the reputations and business standing of the Combs Defendants, even before any evidence has been presented," the motion stated, per People. 

The filing further argues that Doe "cannot allege what day or time of year the alleged incident occurred," calling for the case to be "dismissed now, with prejudice, to protect the Combs Defendants from further reputational injury and before more party and judicial resources are squandered."

The accuser was allegedly 'drugged' before being molested

Jane Doe's lawsuit claims that she was given drugs and alcohol before being "viciously" sexually abused "one after the other" after being convinced to take a private jet to Combs' recording studio in New York City.

In response to the new filing, one of Doe's attorneys shared in a statement, "At this point, no one should take anything ‘diddy’ or his lawyers say seriously. The motion is just a desperate attempt by Combs to avoid accountability for Ms. Doe’s allegations of gang rape and sexual assault. It won’t work."

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is slapped with multiple sexual assault lawsuits

The rapper has been hit with multiple sexual assault lawsuits in the past couple of months.

In November 2023, Cassie, who he dated on and off from 2007 to 2018, accused him of raping and abusing her over the course of their decade-long relationship.

Even though the lawsuit was settled the following day, Combs was accused of sexual assault in a second lawsuit by a woman named Joi Dickerson-Neal shortly after. He was accused of drugging and raping her when she was a college student at Syracuse University in 1991.

That same day, Combs was accused of sexual assault by a third woman, a separate Jane Doe, who alleged that Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and a friend in New York City more than 30 years ago.

In February, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, a former producer and videographer, filed a lawsuit claiming that Combs sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him during their time working together.

Internet reacts as Combs' lawyers filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit

Combs received online backlash after he filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. One X user tweeted "Diddy did it," while another netizen added, "He obviously did it. God men hate women so much."

"Another one that whines" one user wrote and another echoed, "Yeah, he only likes boys."

"It's really crazy being investigated for rape... It's a stain on your name" remarked another.
