Dawn Richard claims Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs tampered with legal case from prison
Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs has been accused of tampering with a legal case from behind bars. Singer Dawn Richard, who was part of Diddy – Dirty Money, made the allegation in court documents last week.
The documents, filed on November 5th, came in response to Combs attempting to have her amended complaint dismissed.
According to Complex, documents read, “There is no indication that Combs’ ability or willingness to act on his threats ever ceased, or that their coercive effort on [Richard] was ever lifted.”
The alleged incident took place in September 2024, with Combs accused of having tampered with a witness in her case.
“Indeed, in September 2024, while incarcerated, Combs tampered with a key witness in Plaintiff’s case, validating Plaintiff’s ongoing fear and demonstrating his continued efforts to intimidate her and manipulate the narrative to discredit her claims,” documents read.
They continued, “Prosecutors opposed bail, citing his pattern of witness tampering, obstruction and regular use of violence, threats and coercion. The Court, in turn, denied bail four times, accepting the government’s position that Combs posed a continuing danger.”
Richard testified in Combs’ trial and claimed the rapper threatened her and Kalenna Harper to stay quiet about violence against Cassie.
Last year, Richard’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, claimed that Combs “groped and grabbed her body parts, sexually assaulted her, that he not only failed to pay her money that was promised to her, but actually prevented her from eating and sleeping during those years – just treated her terribly.”
She alleged Richard also witnessed “severe acts of violence” against Cassie and other women. “When she spoke out, she says she was threatened with more physical violence,” Bloom said. “She said Sean Combs had a vicious temper and she was absolutely terrified of him.”
