One
of
the
most
respected
executives
in
the
Rap
industry
is
hoping
to
clear
his
name.
Harve
Pierre
has
formally
denied
the
recent
allegations
against
him.
TMZ is
reporting that
the
former
president
of
Bad
Boy
Entertainment
is
speaking
out
against
some
very
damming
accusations.
In
an
exclusive
statement
shared
with
the
celebrity
news
website
the
man
formerly
known
as
Joe
Hooker
vehemently
denies
claims
that
he
participated
in
sexual
assault
against
a
minor.
“This
is
a
tale
of
fiction,”
he
said.
“I
have
never
participated
in,
witnessed,
nor
heard
of
anything
like
this,
ever.
These
disgusting
allegations
are
false
and
a
desperate
attempt
for
financial
gain.”
Pierre
added
“I
will
vigorously
protect
my
reputation
and
defend
my
name.
Those
who
know
me
recognize
that
these
claims
are
not
true.”
The
latest
lawsuit
against
Sean
“Diddy”
Combs
also
claimed
Pierre
groomed
an
unidentified
Detroit
teen
by
flying
her
out
on
a
private
plane
to
New
York
City
for
a
recording
session.
There
at
the
studio
she
says
men
assaulted
her
in
the
bathroom
while
Pierre
smoked
crack
cocaine
from
a
Pepsi
can.
The
filing
states
the
abuse
occurred
on
multiple
occasions
throughout
2016
and
2017.
Bad
Boy
Entertainment
founder
Diddy
has
found
himself
also
fighting
to
keep
a
good
name
with
multiple
lawsuits
alleging
sexual
misconduct.
On
December
6
he
finally
spoke
up
with
a
post
shared
throughout
all
his
social
media
channels.
“ENOUGH
IS
ENOUGH”,
the
statement
read.
“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
ACCUSATIONS
HAVE
BEEN
MADE
AGAINST
ME
BY
INDIVIDUALS
LOOKING
FOR
A
QUICK
PAYDAY.”
He
added
“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.
SEAN
DIDDY
COMBS.”
On
November
18
Diddy
reached
a
settlement
with
former
girlfriend
and
Bad
Boy
Entertainment
recording
artist
Cassandra
“Cassie”
Ventura.
As
per
his
lawyer
Ben
Brafman
the
settlement
“is
in
no
way
an
admission
of
wrongdoing.”
