Judge tosses out Dawn Richard’s lawsuit against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
The judge said 17 of 18 claims were filed too late, but Richard can refile one gender-motivated violence claim in state court.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla dismissed 17 of Dawn Richard's 18 legal claims against Sean "Diddy" Combs, citing the statute of limitations.

- Combs' attorney Erica Wolff described the lawsuit as "an attempt to rewrite history," while spokesman Juda S. Engelmayer said the team was "pleased" with the ruling.
- Richard's attorney Arick Fudali vowed to pursue her primary claim under the Gender-Motivated Violence Act in state court, as the judge dismissed it without prejudice.
- Serving a 50-month sentence at Fort Dix in New Jersey, Combs continues to face multiple other civil abuse lawsuits while appealing his criminal conviction.
