Diddy Files $50 Million Defamation Lawsuit Against Grand Jury Witness, His Lawyer and News Nation

Sean “Diddy” Combs has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Courtney Burgess, attorney Ariel Mitchell, and NewsNation, accusing them of spreading false allegations that could jeopardize his right to a fair trial. The lawsuit, filed in New York, claims that damaging and fabricated claims were made, including allegations of Diddy appearing in videos assaulting intoxicated celebrities and minors.
“These defendants have willfully fabricated and disseminated outrageous lies with reckless disregard for the truth,” said Diddy’s lawyer, Erica Wolff, in a statement.
Burgess, a self-proclaimed music industry veteran, allegedly claimed to possess illicit tapes of Diddy and a memoir from Kim Porter, Diddy’s late partner. The lawsuit also names Mitchell and NewsNation for airing these allegations during a September 2024 interview, where Mitchell suggested Diddy’s involvement in “pornographic” videos with minors.
Diddy argues that the false claims have the potential to poison the jury pool in his upcoming trial, undermining his right to due process. He is seeking $50 million in damages and further legal relief to counter the impact of these allegations. The case adds another layer of controversy to the music mogul’s already high-profile legal battles.
