Diddy may be knee-deep in legal drama as he awaits trial for sex trafficking and racketeering, but that hasn’t stopped the mogul from filing a lawsuit against a grand jury witness and a lawyer.
Full story below…
The embattled Bad Boy mogul asserts that Courtney Burgess and lawyer Ariel Mitchell are spreading erroneous claims about him. He stresses that they are fabricating lies for media attention.
Per the filing, the pair are accused of mounting and mobilizing “outlandish claims” and “baseless speculation” to feed the public’s desire for “wild lies.”
Diddy, who is swimming in a sea of lawsuits himself, is suing for $50 million.
Mitchell clapped back in a statement to TMZ:
“This is just a pathetic ploy to silence victims and people who stand up for victims. Diddy has time to sue but refuses to accept service for the lawsuits already filed against him. I look forward to countersuing and ensuring the court punishes not only Diddy but also his lawyers who filed this pathetic lawsuit for this frivolous and meritless filing.”
Diddy’s federal criminal trial kicks off in May. Until then, he will remain behind bars after his multiple attempts at securing bail were denied
