Harve Pierre wants a New York judge to force the sexual assault accuser to reveal her identity, which her lawyer called a scare tactic.

Harve Pierre's anonymous sexual assault accuser wants to stay as Jane Doe, and will fight tooth and nail to do so. But the New York executive and his Bad Boy team will also stop at nothing to beat their various cases. It's important to note that Diddy is not directly accused in this case. Moreover, defense attorneys sought to have a New York judge to force Doe to divulge her identity in her case against Bad Boy Records and former label president Pierre. "Defendants’ motion is nothing more than a scare tactic and ploy to deter litigation against an already crumbling empire that can no longer hide behind the smoke screens of its money, power and fame," her attorney Jeffrey Anderson argued.

For those unaware, this suit accuses Harve Pierre of sexually assaulting Jane Doe on various occasions between 2016 and 2017. The 2023 suit identifies her only as his former assistant. It also accuses Bad Boy Records of negligence and the suit against them claims that they enabled Pierre's alleged behavior. "Because of my former employer’s power and influence, I fear that I will be harassed and ridiculed if my identity was made public in connection with these claims," Doe stated. "I am concerned for my physical safety and the safety of my family."

"This is a source of shame and embarrassment for me," Jane Doe said of this issue. "Should my identity be made public, I risk negative repercussions to my employment due to the stigma associated with being a victim of sexual assault. I fear others will view me negatively and my reputation will be negatively impacted. My mental health will suffer if I was forced to disclose my identity publicly. I should not have to be subjected to further harm in my efforts to seek accountability for what was done to me."

Jane Doe has reportedly not told her family about the lawsuit or about Harve Pierre's alleged crimes. She hopes the court will sympathize with her reasoning and keep her identity anonymous. But we'll have to wait and see. Meanwhile, in other Bad Boy news, new public documents recently revealed that Diddy invested in Elon Musk's Twitter takeover bid. As far as legal updates, he has a long way to go.
