Sean "Diddy" Combs has filed a defamation lawsuit seeking $50 million in damages against Courtney Burgess, Burgess’ attorney Ariel Mitchell, and NewsNation. The lawsuit stems from false claims made about Combs involving videos of sexual assault, including minors. The hip-hop mogul denies the allegations, asserting that there are no such videos. He accuses the defendants of spreading harmful lies that have damaged his reputation, ahead of his upcoming trial.
