Diddy and his legal team have spent a lot of time responding to various allegations against him, whether in his federal case or in other lawsuits. They directed their latest address to a filing from former adult film star Adria English, who alleged that he sexually assaulted her. However, this case got an important update recently, as her lawyers recently backed out as English's counsel according to a statement from her ex attorneys Ariel Mitchell-Kidd and Steven A. Metcalf. They submitted this motion due to how they "fundamentally disagree" with the nature of the allegations put forth and how they presented them.
"[English] has provided conflicting instructions that make it unreasonably difficult for Attorneys to effectively represent English," Mitchell-Kidd stated concerning Adria English's allegations against Diddy. "There has been a breakdown in the Attorney-Client relationship between Attorneys and [English]." After this development, Sean Combs' legal team reportedly issued a statement to AllHipHop. This not only references English's specific allegations against the Bad Boy mogul, but her lawyers' decision. In addition, they alleged that English's lawsuit reflects false accusations against him from other suits.

"Less than three months after filing her lawsuit against Sean Combs, Adria English has been dropped by both of her attorneys after making completely fabricated statements," a spokesperson for Diddy reportedly told the publication. "In papers filed with the court today, her former attorneys cited Ms. English’s ‘questionable antics’ and ‘undermining behavior.’ As we’ve said from the start, anyone can file a lawsuit without proof, and this case is a clear example of that. Adria English escalated things by filing false police reports and making baseless claims, using high-profile events as a backdrop to harm innocent people. No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted, or sex trafficked anyone."
Meanwhile, Diddy's legal team will reportedly make a third attempt at bail, as they filed a notice of appeal to the court's last denial of it. At press time, it's still unclear if legal authorities have an answer or not, nor do we know what an alternative course of action would be if they face another rejection.
