“The pointless, fictitious and terrible claims have actually been dismissed,” he stated in a declaration published on social networks. “This civil fit lacked benefit and never ever going anywhere.”
Combs stays imprisoned in New York waiting for a criminal trial on federal sex trafficking charges. He likewise deals with a wave of sexual attack suits, a lot of which were submitted by the complainant’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, a Texas lawyer who states his company represents over 150 individuals, both males and females, who declare sexual assault and exploitation by Combs.
A message was left looking for remark with Buzbee.
