Rapper P Diddy found himself without legal representation while he faces a handful of lawsuits. Lady Gaga reportedly threatened the law first to ditch them otherwise
Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs was reportedly dropped by his law firm after Lady Gaga put pressure on the team.
The rapper faced a slew of sexual assault allegations over the past year, including several civil lawsuits filed against him. As a result, Diddy had to lawyer up as he navigates settlements, potential court dates, and raids from the feds. However, it looks like he might be out of luck as his attorneys reportedly dropped him, leaving him without representation for the time being.
Diddy was sharing the same law firm as Lady Gaga, Chambers and Partners, as he was, per prior correspondence with The Mirror, being represented by Aaron S. Dyer. However, Brad D. Rose of the same law firm is known for representing a variety of stars, including the pop princess.
Cassie Ventura accused him of abuse
An insider told NewsNationNow, “Lady Gaga said she was leaving [the firm] if they didn’t drop Diddy. And she’s too big to lose.” Their reports indicate that, rather than Chambers and Partners, it was Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks who ditched Diddy.
However, the law firm denied that Gaga had a hand in the movie. A spokesperson for Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks told Page Six: “The decision to part ways with Mr. Combs was proactively made by the partners in the firm a number of months ago as they felt it was the right thing to do.”
Diddy’s IMDB site also was wiped, missing any agents, lawyers, and publicists. It only advertises Combs Global as connected to the musician. The only employee of the company listed is Diddy himself. The site also is pretty blank with only a logo.
The star’s legal woes started in 2023 when his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, came forward with allegations of assault against him. They settled out of court within 24 hours as he denied her allegations. However, not long after, more women filed lawsuits against him with similar allegations, doing so under the Adult Survivors Act which temporarily lifted the statute of limitations for sexual misconduct crimes.
A video was unearthed depicting Diddy harming Cassie
A few months later, the Department of Homeland Security did a raid on Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles homes in connection to a human trafficking investigation. Diddy denied any wrongdoing.
More lawsuits hit and a video of Cassie and Diddy was unearthed. In the video, the dancer was hit multiple times by Diddy in a hotel hallway where she fell the ground. In a video statement, he said: “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that. I was fucked up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.
“I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”
