No Representation, Just Defamation: Diddy’s $100M Legal Battle Begins.

The news as it trends

Sean “Diddy” Combs has filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against attorney Courtney Burgess, Ariel Mitchell, and Nexstar Media Inc., the parent company of NewsNation.

According to court documents, Diddy claims these individuals fabricated and spread outrageous lies about him, including false allegations of sexual misconduct involving celebrities and minors.

What makes this case especially shocking is that Courtney Burgess never represented Diddy.

Yet, he allegedly claimed to possess incriminating videos and made damaging public statements.

Ariel Mitchell is accused of helping amplify those claims, while NewsNation is being sued for airing the story and giving it a mainstream platform.

Diddy’s legal team argues that the defendants used these lies to gain fame, promote their personal brands, and destroy his reputation.

They say the media frenzy stirred by these falsehoods jeopardized Diddy’s right to a fair trial and caused significant harm.

This lawsuit isn’t about a falling-out with his own lawyers — it’s about outsiders allegedly weaponizing false narratives for personal gain.

Diddy is pushing back with his legal team, demanding accountability and justice—even as he remains in detention.
