Sean Combs Is Facing Multiple Abuse Lawsuits. What Happens to Them Now?

Sean 'Diddy' Combs still faces several civil lawsuits after his arrest

David Ring, a plaintiff’s attorney who represented Evgeniya Chernyshova, the Italian actress whose testimony led to Weinstein’s rape conviction in California, says motions for delays in Combs’ civil cases could start appearing in the next couple months. Combs’ team have argued that three causes of action in Lampros’ suit — battery, assault and negligent infliction of emotional distress — are time-barred and not included under the Gender Motivated Violence Protection Act. Although Combs’ attorney downplayed the communications, saying it was “hardly obstruction,” Richard’s lawyer Lisa Bloom told Rolling Stone that she’d be “demanding those text and phone messages in our litigation and if they show witness tampering, we will add that claim to our lawsuit and aggressively pursue it.”
