Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has reportedly stepped back from his position as Chairman at media company Revolt in the aftermath of recent lawsuits alleging sexual assault.
A statement shared on the company’s Instagram page Tuesday said, “Sean Combs has stepped down from his position as chairman of Revolt. While Mr. Combs has previously had no operational or day-to-day role in the business, this decision helps to ensure that Revolt remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and the African diaspora.”
Earlier this month, Cassie, Diddy’s former girlfriend, filed a federal lawsuit against him, alleging rape and years of repeated physical abuse. One day later, the former couple settled the lawsuit “amicably.”
Since then, two more lawsuits have been filed against the “Bad Boy” founder. Joi Dickerson-Neal alleges that he sexually assaulted her in 1991 when she was a student at Syracuse University. Additionally, an anonymous accuser has claimed that Diddy and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and her friends in the early ’90s.
Combs has maintained his innocence.
“These are fabricated claims falsely alleging misconduct from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute. This is nothing but a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for anonymous accusers who lie without conscience or consequence for financial benefit. The New York Legislature surely did not intend or expect the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited by scammers. The public should be skeptical and not rush to accept these bogus allegations.”
