Sean “Diddy” Combs Sued Over Alleged Assault

Once reports that Sean “Diddy” Combs punched a man at an Oscars after-party surfaced, it seemed like only a matter of time before some sort of charges would come out of the ordeal. That time has come, as P Diddy is being sued by the alleged victim.

Real Estate agent Gerard Rechnitzer claims that Combs punched and pushed him and his girlfriend outside of the trendy Hollywood hotspot, Teddy’s, in the early hours of February 26th.

Legal papers filed on Friday, March 2nd, state: “Combs, also known as “Diddy”, also known as “P. Diddy”, also known as “Puff Daddy”, also known as “Puffy”, hereinafter Defendant Combs, suddenly said to the Plaintiff, “What the f#?k you looking at dude?”

"Then he shouted, ‘I’ll smack flames out of your a#%!’ “

According to E! News, the documents state that Diddy “intentionally, willfully, knowingly and unlawfully attacked, assaulted and battered Rechnitzer causing him to fly backward several feet and hit a parked car.”

“The suit also alleges P Diddy pushed Rechnitzer’s girlfriend and attempted to spit on another female member of Rechnitzer’s group,” the report continues.

The rapper’s lawyer Benjamin Brafman said: “The case will be vigorously defended. It’s just another example of an opportunist seeking to fabricate a lawsuit based on a flat-out lie to try to take advantage of Mr. Combs’ celebrity status. Mr. Combs did not hit anyone and Mr. Rechnitzer suffered no injuries or damages whatsoever. There is no case. It is that simple.”
