DIDDY KNIFE ATTACK: VICTIM AMBUSHES COMBS WITH KNIFE AFTER ALLEGED RAPE

While Sean Diddy Combs has been sued 42 times in just over a year, the disgraced mogul has just filed one of his own. Combs has logged a $50 million defamation lawsuit against grand jur witness Courtney Burgess and his lawyer Ariel Mitchell. Combs accuses Burgess of ‘pretending to have proof that Mr. Combs engaged in heinous acts, knowing no such proof exists,’ referring to sex tapes Burgess claims depict Combs sexually assaulting celebrities and minors.

Also named in Combs suit is Nexstar Media Inc., the parent company of News Nation, who first publicized Burgess’ claims to be in possession of 8 recordings of Sean Combs’ sexual assaults, and Kim Porter’s real memoir. The complaint alleges that the cable news network aired Burgess’ assertions to thousands of viewers without looking into their credibility. Combs’ claims the fallout from the ‘outrageous lies’ have led the public to view him as a “debauched ‘monster’ and a pedophile,” and has further tainted the potential jury pool for his upcoming criminal trial.

Burgess maintains that he is telling the truth about receiving a flash drive containing the video files and Porter’s manuscript through an intermediary. Burgess calling Diddy out for having the nerve to sue, when he will <quote> “rot in jail for what he’s done.” His lawyer, Ariell Mitchell, who claims to have seen the tapes, stands by Burgess, calling Combs’ suit a pathetic ploy to silence victims and those who stand up for them, and has plans to countersue. Sources close to Kim Porter say they had never heard of Burgess before his interviews and have reason to doubt his claims.

In another case, Ashley Parham discusses more disturbing details of her alleged gang rape at the hands of Diddy and his associates. Parham claims several men in Combs’ entourage held her down while Chief of Staff Kristina Khorram tried to insert an IUD into her. She says when the device failed, Combs’ flew into a rage and began violently raping her with a TV remote before forcing himself on her and encouraging his associates do the same.

Parham says she armed herself with a kitchen knife when she woke up alone after the attack and found Combs and the other men smoking in the backyard. Parham claims Combs’ was nonchalant when she confronted him, and in a fit of rage, she tried to stab the mogul, who begged for his life. Parham says her ‘moral compass’ snapped back into place and she ran to a neighbor's home after the knife fight, where she claims she spoke with a Contra Costa Sheriff’s deputy.
