Diddy ain’t playing nice with the folks who dragged his name through the dirt—he’s now gunning for $100 million in a brutal legal swing at Courtney Burgess, her lawyer Ariel Mitchell, and NewsNation.
NewsNation for giving them the mic and turning it into a viral feeding frenzy.
His legal team went off in the filing, saying, “In this pitiful spectacle, all pretense of objectivity has been abandoned, as a global audience feasts at the all-you-can-eat buffet of wild lies and conspiracy theories. Mitchell and Burgess are among the worst perpetrators in this offensive scenario.””

The suit claims the whole thing was done “in bad faith” and was all about clout, money or both.
His lawyers argue the goal was to “damage Mr. Combs’ reputation, undermine his businesses and, by painting him as debauched and a pedophile, to poison the public’s perception of him and deprive him of a fair trial.”
Diddy’s been locked up in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since his bail was denied on August 4, 2025.
That came after his guilty verdict in July on two criminal charges after a blockbuster trial that saw him beat serious RICO charges.
Sentencing is slated for October 3. The legal war is still heating up, but Diddy’s message is loud and clear—he’s not letting this slide without a fight.
