Sean 'Diddy' Combs has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Courtney Burgess, who claimed to possess videos depicting the music mogul in sexual encounters with celebrities, including minors. The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York, alleges that Burgess, along with his attorney Ariel Mitchell and NewsNation, fabricated and amplified false claims about Combs for financial gain. Combs's legal team asserts that no such videos exist and that the allegations have caused him severe reputational harm, potentially influencing jurors in his upcoming trial. The claims made by Burgess include assertions of illicit videos showing Combs involved in sexual assaults on eight celebrities. Combs's lawsuit seeks to counter these allegations, which he describes as outrageous lies designed to profit from the media frenzy surrounding him.
