Sean 'Diddy' Combs asks judge to dismiss lawsuit against him. The rapper's legal team claimed Rodney Jones' sexual assault accusations were "pure fiction”. In a motion filed Combs' lawyers requested the court throw out the case arguing Jones' claims were fanciful and an attempt to receive a settlement figure. ”Running to nearly 100 pages, it includes countless tall tales, shameless celebrity namedrops, and irrelevant images," the filing stated as well as arguing Jones' lawsuit was filled with "blatant falsehoods" to "generate media hype”. A member of Combs' legal team also spoke to the media. ”Mr Jones's lawsuit is pure fiction - a shameless attempt to create media hype and extract a quick settlement. Mr Jones was not threatened, groomed, assaulted, or trafficked. We look forward to proving - in a court of law - that all of Mr Jones's claims are made-up and must be dismissed.” In February, Jones accused Combs of sexually assaulting him and forcing him to perform with sex workers. The Grammy winner's homes were subsequently raided by the federal government on 25 March, in connection with a broader federal human-trafficking investigation. Four other sexual assault lawsuits are currently pending against the rapper, all of which his legal team has filed motions to have dismissed.
