Judge Tosses Abuse Suit; Richard Accuses Diddy of Theft
24 Oct
Summary
- A federal judge dismissed Richard's abuse lawsuit over time-barred claims.
- Richard alleges Diddy stole unused music from a past project.
- Diddy's representatives deny allegations, calling them a payday attempt.
A federal judge has dismissed Dawn Richard's lawsuit alleging abuse and mistreatment by Diddy, citing that 15 counts were time-barred. Richard, who was featured on Diddy's "The Love Album: Off the Grid," recently stated that her contribution was not an active collaboration.
She claims the vocal used on the track "Deliver Me" was originally intended for a Diddy-Dirty Money song from the "Last Train to Paris" album, asserting that Diddy "stole" the material. Richard indicated her last professional work with Diddy was in 2011.
Her lawsuit was filed in 2024, but a federal judge dismissed it in June. Representatives for Diddy have refuted Richard's allegations, characterizing them as a series of false claims aimed at securing a financial payout. They also stated Richard had agreed to her appearance on "The Love Album."
