Diddy has hired a high-powered legal team to help him in his fight against a pair of sexual assault cases.
Per AllHipHop, attorneys Jonathan D. Davis, Alyssa M. Pronley and Anthony C. LoMonaco are on board to represent Diddy — born Sean Combs — in the two cases filed by Joi Dickerson-Neal and Jane Doe. The notices advising the courts of his legal council were made with the New York County Clerk on Wednesday (December 13).

In addition to Diddy, former Bad Boy president Harve Pierre, Bad Boy Records and Diddy Enterprises are all listed as defendants.
Diddy spoke out earlier in December, vehemently denying all of the egregious allegations made against him in recent weeks.

“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” he wrote. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.”
Diddy continued to accuse the alleged victims of looking for a “quick payday” and he is pleading with fans that he hasn’t done “any of the awful things being alleged.”

“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday,” he testified. “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.”
A fourth sexual assault lawsuit surfaced last week, in which a woman identified as Jane Doe has accused Diddy, Harve Pierre, and another man of gang-raping her when she was just 17 years old in 2003.

HipHopDX viewed the court documents which alleged that Ms. Doe met Pierre and the third assailant at a Detroit lounge. After speaking on the phone with Diddy, the three flew to his NYC studio on a private plane later that night.
Upon Doe’s arrival, the junior in high school was plied with drugs and alcohol. She claims she was raped by Diddy, the unnamed man and Pierre in order. When the three were done she claims she was left in the bathroom in “fetal position.”
After regaining her composure, she claims she was escorted to a car and flown back to Michigan. While the accusations are two decades later, Ms. Doe supplied photos from that night in the studio sitting on Diddy’s lap. However, her face is blurred out for anonymity purposes.
Last month, Cassie lit the fuse when she filed a bombshell lawsuit against the music executive accusing him of sexual assault, trafficking and other forms of abuse. The pair ended up settling less than 24 hours later.

While the cavalcade of lawsuits has continued to pile up, Diddy has stepped down in his role as Chairman of REVOLT.
