P. Diddy has had his run-in with the law several times in the past, and if he keeps running his mouth the way he is, it's going to land him behind bars with the real smack talkers.
Now, P. Diddy is being sued for allegedly assaulting a man outside a post-Oscars party.
Estate agent Gerard Rechnitzer claims the rapper - real name Sean Combs - punched and pushed him and his girlfriend outside Hollywood nightclub Teddy's in the early hours of February 26.
Legal papers filed on March 2 state, "Combs, also known as 'Diddy,' also known as 'P. Diddy,' also known as 'Puff Daddy,' also known as 'Puffy,' hereinafter Defendant Combs, suddenly said to the Plaintiff, 'What the f**k you looking at dude?' Then he shouted, 'I'll smack flames out of your ass!' "
The documents state the music mogul "intentionally, wilfully, knowingly and unlawfully attacked, assaulted and battered" Rechnitzer causing him to "fly backward several feet" and hit a parked car.
The suit also alleges P. Diddy pushed Rechnitzer's girlfriend and "attempted to spit on another female member" of Rechnitzer's group.
The rapper's lawyer Benjamin Brafman said, "The case will be vigorously defended. It's just another example of an opportunist seeking to fabricate a lawsuit based on a flat-out lie to try to take advantage of Mr. Combs' celebrity status.
"Mr. Combs did not hit anyone and Mr. Rechnitzer suffered no injuries or damages whatsoever. There is no case. It is that simple."
Rechnitzer, 27, claimed he visited the bathroom at Teddy's and, upon his return, found his fiancee surrounded by six men, including P. Diddy.
Rechnitzer allegedly watched as the rapper flirted with his fiancee for about five minutes, before the estate agent asked her to leave with him.
Diddy then reportedly told the woman he was having a party and invited her. Rechnitzer again asked her to leave with him. The rap star then allegedly punched the estate agent in the jaw.
Rechnitzer called emergency services and filed a report with the LAPD. Diddy left before they arrived. Rechnitzer declined the offer of medical
treatment.
