New reports reveal that Diddy reached out to several witnesses, including those who received grand jury subpoenas.
According to the Neighborhood Talk, the Assistant U.S. Attorney states that Diddy allegedly contacted Kalenna Harper, a former member of Dirty Money, 54 times in a single day. The calls reportedly occurred shortly after Dawn Richard filed a bombshell lawsuit accusing Diddy of sexual assault and other allegations, naming Kalenna 33 times as a witness.
It’s worth noting that the calls happened before Kalenna posted a statement on Instagram, where she opposed some of Dawn’s claims. Kalenna stated she had never witnessed any illegal or abusive activity as alleged in the lawsuit.
Prosecutors believe Diddy’s communication with these witnesses contributed to many expressing fear during interviews.
“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,” she said on Friday (September 13).
In the same statement, she distanced herself from the lawsuit, noting, “Many of the allegations and incidents described in this suit are not representative of my experiences, and some do not align with my own truth.” Harper also denied any knowledge of “behavior that could be considered abusive or unlawful.”
On Wednesday (September 11), TMZ reported that the embattled music mogul was hit with yet another lawsuit—this time from former Danity Kane member, Dawn Richard, accusing him of brutality and sexual abuse.
In the new lawsuit, Dawn Richard alleges troubling behavior by Diddy starting during auditions for his 2004 reality show “Making The Band.” She claims he referred to women as “fat,” “ugly,” “bches,” and “hes,” and forced her to rehearse for up to 48 hours straight without sleep. Richard describes an incident where Diddy allegedly demanded she come to his Miami home, where he was reportedly not wearing underwear and yelled, “This is my f*king house!”
Richard also accuses Diddy of attempting to strangle his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, and threatening her when she tried to intervene. According to her, Diddy shouted, “Y’all btches don’t get in my relationship,” and issued further threats including, “I end artists … I shelve careers … You could be missing … You btches want to die today.”
She claims Diddy’s behavior escalated between 2009 and 2011, including an incident where he allegedly barged into her dressing room while she was naked and touched her inappropriately. In another claim, Richard says Diddy locked her in a car with heavily tinted windows for two hours as she screamed for help, prompting her father to drive from Baltimore to confront Diddy. When her father threatened to go to the police, Diddy allegedly warned, “Think about your daughter” and “think about your daughter’s career.”
