Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Co-Defendant UMGR Seeks to Bar Plaintiff from Obtaining Extension over Alleged Rape of 16-Year-Old

UMGR is looking to stop accuser Liza Gardner's lawyer Tyrone Blackburn from receiving additional time to respond to the motion to dismiss a lawsuit from Liza Gardner, who previously alleged Combs raped her in 1990, when she was 16 years old.

She filed her amended complaint on March 12 in New York County Supreme Court, where she claimed that the age of consent for sexual intercourse in 1990, when the alleged assault happened, was 17 years old. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for anonymous accusers who lie without conscience or consequence for financial benefit,” a spokesperson said in a statement at the time. The musician was also accused of sexual misconduct, harassment, sex trafficking and rape by ex-girlfriend Cassie, though the two reached a settlement one day after she filed a lawsuit against him.
