McKinney to Cipriani Downtown
- in 2003 - then to his studio
on West 44th Street where he
drugged and assaulted her,

complaint.

Jane Doe sued Combs alleging
she was raped in 2000 at the
age of thirteen. On Sunday,
December 8 she / the Buzbee
firm filed an amended
complaint that
"Defendant Sean
Combs (a/k/a “P. Diddy,” a/k/a
“Puff Daddy,” a/k/a “Diddy,”
a/k/a “PD,” and a/k/a “Love”),
along with his longtime friend
and collaborator Shawn Carter
(a/k/a “JayZ”), drugged and
raped a thirteen-year-old girl
at an afterparty following the
2000 Video Music Awards.
Another celebrity stood by and
watched as Combs and Carter
took turns assaulting the
minor." Amended complaint on

On December 9,
Quinn Emanuel's Alex Spiro put
in a notice of appearance for

after another letter alleging
a shakedown, Buzbee fired

allegations for what they are:
a sham." Giling on Patreon here.
On December 18,
Spiro filed again, including
two complaints against Buzbee
