Sean “Diddy” Combs has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a music producer who has repeatedly accused the music mogul of sexual abuse and other misconduct.

The lawsuit filed in February by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones – one of many filed against Combs in the past year – is filled with “false fabrications,” “sensational theatrics,” “legally meaningless allegations” and “blatant falsehoods” whose sole purpose is to “create and exploit media hype to extract a settlement,” according to the motion to dismiss filed in federal court in New York.

The case fails to demonstrate that Jones has standing to sue, lacks essential details such as the time and place of the incidents described, and “does not assert a single valid claim,” the motion states.

When Jones filed suit in February, several lawsuits alleging sexual and other abuse had already been filed against Combs, but the circumstances surrounding the hip-hop star have become even more devastating since then.

In March, simultaneous raids on Combs’ homes in Florida and California revealed that he was the subject of an ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation.

And in May, CNN aired 2016 hotel surveillance video showing him punching, kicking and dragging R&B singer Cassie, who was then his protégé and longtime girlfriend.

The incident largely matched the description in a lawsuit she filed in November that was settled the following day, but it sparked an intense investigation into Combs.

A few days after the video aired, Combs posted an apology video on social media in which he said he was “sincerely sorry” and that his behavior was “inexcusable.”

Jones’ sprawling lawsuit, which also names Combs’ son and several of his business partners as defendants, describes a year in the music mogul’s life in Los Angeles and Miami that he spent producing an album in 2022 and 2023.

Jones says he witnessed hundreds of hours of illegal drug and sexual activity by Combs and those around him, and in many cases recorded it on tape.

Combs’ motion is, in his own words, “full of far-fetched stories of misconduct” but contains “very few allegations related to Jones, other than the allegation that Combs failed to pay the producer for his work.”

The lawsuit seeks to turn this trade dispute into a comprehensive criminal conspiracy led by Combs without providing any significant evidence, Combs’ complaint states.

Jones also claims that Combs tried to solicit sex from him, groped him, forced him to solicit prostitutes, and pressured him to have sex with them.

But Combs’s lawyers’ motion states: “Jones cannot rely on the most basic facts, such as where and when an alleged attack occurred or what allegedly occurred,” nor can he provide evidence that Jones was coerced in a way that would make him a victim.

The Associated Press typically does not name people who report sexual abuse unless they come forward publicly, as Jones and Cassie have done.

With the exception of the hotel surveillance video footage of Cassie, Combs has largely denied the allegations in the lawsuits against him.

“Let me be clear: I have not done any of the horrible things I am accused of,” he said in a post in December.
