Sean “Diddy” Combs is seeking a gag order in the ongoing legal battle against his ex-girlfriend, model and actress, Cassie Ventura. The rapper filed a motion citing a recent interview given by a grand jury witness outside the courthouse, claiming it threatens the fairness of the trial.
The motion states that a witness, identified only as “Jane Doe,” discussed the case with a media outlet immediately after giving her testimony. Diddy’s legal team alleges that this interview violates the confidentiality of the grand jury proceedings and could prejudice potential jurors.
The details of the interview remain undisclosed, but Diddy’s lawyers argue that “Jane Doe’s” statements could “influence public perception” and potentially sway any future jury. They believe the interview has “tainted” the jury pool and necessitates the implementation of a gag order to ensure a fair trial.
The case involves a dispute over a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that Ventura signed. Diddy claims she violated the agreement by sharing confidential information, while Ventura maintains that the NDA is unenforceable. The potential gag order, if granted, would restrict all parties involved from making public statements about the case.
