Christian Combs’ lawyer calls the lawsuit “another indecent and baseless allegation”

In a statement provided to USA TODAY on Friday, Aaron Dyer, attorney for Sean “Diddy” Combs and Christian “King” Combs, addressed the allegations made by O’Marcaigh.

“This is just another indecent and baseless claim from Tyrone Blackburn – just like the one he made in the lawsuit against Rodney Jones, which he still hasn’t served. This lawsuit is full of the fabricated lies and irrelevant facts that we have come to expect from Blackburn,” Dyer said.

“It is precisely for this reason that two days ago the federal judge in New York slapped him for a ‘pattern of conduct’ in which he ‘filed improper cases in federal court to attract media attention, embarrass defendants with offensive allegations, and pressure them to settle quickly,’ and that is why he was referred to the Southern District of New York Disciplinary Committee,” the statement continued.

Dyer added that his team “will file a motion to dismiss this outrageous claim.”

Christian Combs was also named in the lawsuit filed by Lil Rod last month. According to the lawsuit, Lil Rod witnessed the rapper “drugging and sexually assaulting a woman.”
