Business
mogul
and
entertainer
Sean
Combs,
widely
known
as
Diddy,
is
facing
a
mountain
of
a
lawsuit
connected
to
alleged
abuse
and
other
accusations.
A
report
went
wide
that
the
Bad
Boy
honcho
was
under
criminal
investigation
but
the
NYPD
shot
down
those
claims.
TMZ
initially
reported
that
Diddy
was
the
target
of
an
investigation,
which
came
on
the
heels
of
the
mogul
facing
a
lawsuit
from
his
ex-girlfriend,
Cassie
Ventura,
who
claims
that
Combs
allegedly
raped
her
and
engaged
in
human
trafficking
among
other
charges.
It
was
reported
as
a
“locked”
investigation
involving
Sean
Combs
but
it
appears
that
was
not
the
case.
The
outlet
returned
to
the
report
with
an
update
that
can
be
read
in
full
below:
The
full
NYPD
statement
reads
…
“Yesterday,
a
member
of
the
NYPD’s
public
information
office
erroneously
told
a
reporter
about
the
apparent
existence
of
an
active
case
file
containing
the
name
‘Sean
Combs.’
There
is
no
such
investigation,
at
present.
Further,
the
release
of
such
information
is
not
consistent
with
the
internal
policies
of
the
office
of
the
Deputy
Commissioner,
Public
Information.
The
NYPD
always
treats
allegations
of
sexual
assault
and
rape
extremely
seriously,
and
urges
anyone
who
has
been
a
victim
to
file
a
police
report
so
that
support
and
services
can
be
offered
to
survivors
and
a
comprehensive
investigation
can
be
conducted.”
Ventura
filed
her
lawsuit
in
New
York
at
the
federal
court
level.
A
statement
from
Combs
has
yet
to
surface.
