Diddy Recruits Former Lawyer for Alleged Russian Spy to Fight Sexual Assault Lawsuit

Diddy's ongoing legal troubles are only intensifying, as he currently faces multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, abuse and more. The allegations come from at least eight different people, including former Syracuse University student Joi Dickerson-Neal. She alleges that the Bad Boy Records founder drugged and raped her in 1991, which he denies. She also accuses him of engaging in revenge porn by sharing explicit images of her with his music industry associates. According to his lawsuit, this harmed his mental health and reputation.

“This is a civil lawsuit with fabricated allegations of misconduct dating back 30 years that is nothing more than a blatant money grab,” a spokesperson for the tycoon said. TMZ in November. “Mr. Combs is being unfairly targeted by anonymous accusers who lie for financial gain. The New York Legislature never intended to exploit the Adult Survivors Act.” Regardless, the lawsuits appear to be continuing, with the latest filed last week.

Now, as he prepares to fight in court over the Dickerson-Neal lawsuit, he has hired a new legal representative. According to legal documents obtained by AllHipHop Earlier this week, attorney Michael Tremonte of Sher Tremonte LLP will handle the case, which is in its early stages. Tremonte has previously represented some notable clients, including Rinat Akhmetshin. Akhmetshin is a Russian-American lobbyist who sued William Browder for allegedly defaming him by calling him a Russian spy.
