In reaction to the insurance claims, Combs protected himself in an Instagram declaration.
“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” he created. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick pay day. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
Diddy’s legal representative, Ben Brafman, additionally launched a declaration too, rejecting the sexual offense accusations.
“Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,” the lawyer stated. “For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail. Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs’s reputation and seeking a payday.”
