Sean “Diddy” Combs scored a major win in court in his case with Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones after a judge dismissed five of the charges against him.
Judge J. Paul Oetken dismissed the RICO charge against Diddy and his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, in the case, failing to find a viable argument in Jones’ opposition brief and that “it should not be necessary to root around a 402-paragraph complaint to contrive novel arguments on Jones’s behalf.”
Judge Oetken also dismissed negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims, breach of contract claims, and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) claim against Combs Global.
The judge declined to dismiss sexual assault and liability claims.
Lil Rod claimed he was sexually harassed by Diddy and even by Hollywood actor Cuba Gooding Jr. His lawsuit alludes to the Bad Boy boss running a RICO-style operation, hiring s-x workers, and plying employees and guests with drugs. He is suing the disgraced mogul for $30 million.
