Richard also claimed that she witnessed several physical abuse done by Diddy on women, making them suffer from physical and mental pain. However, Diddy has denied all accusations against him.
Similarly, in response to the lawsuit and accusation, on September 12, Diddy (Sean Combs) submitted two urgent legal requests: one to cancel a considerable financial judgment made against him and the other to cancel a restraining order in the same case.
Diddy’s recent case has also been the talk of the town, where many are saying that he deserves to be behind bars as he has hurt many people with his inhuman activities, while others are saying that the accusations are fake and that he is innocent.

In response to the post, many said that Diddy is a big piece of blackmail material and has had 250 cameras taking video at his parties for a decade.
