In September of this year, Diddy was hit with a lawsuit from Dawn Richard. She accused him of sexual and emotional abuse and alleged that she witnessed him assault his ex-girlfriend, Cassie. “It’s unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship aside to try and get money from him, but Mr. Combs is confidently standing on truth and looks forward to proving that in court,” Diddy's lawyer Erica Wolff said in a statement in response to the lawsuit.
Shortly after news of Richard's lawsuit went public, another member of Diddy-Dirty Money broke her silence. Kalenna Harper took to her Instagram Story to deny ever seeing Diddy engage in this kind of behavior. "While I fully respect Dawn's right to recount her experiences, I want to emphasize that her account reflects her personal perspective and should not be interpreted as a universal truth applicable to everyone involved," her statement read in part.
Notes Suggesting Financial Exchanges Alleged Found In Diddy's Jail Cell
"Many of the allegations and incidents described in this suit are not representative of my experiences," it continued. "And some do not align with my own truth." Late last month, Harper also came to Diddy's defense during an interview with Break Beat Media. She labeled Cassie "naive," and alleged that she liked to do drugs and party. Now, however, federal officials have come up with new evidence that appears to suggest Diddy allegedly paid her to defend him.
According to an exclusive report by AllHipHop, a new filing points to 128 total alleged communications between Diddy and Harper after Richard filed her lawsuit. Allegedly, their communication picked up shortly before Harper shared her public statement about the lawsuit. Notes officials accuse him of having in his jail cell also indicate that she was allegedly financially compensated for it.
