Making the Band <\/i>alum Sara Rivers<\/strong>\u2019 sexual harassment lawsuit against Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/strong><\/a> has been dismissed, Us Weekly <\/i>can confirm.<\/p>\n

A judge granted Diddy\u2019s motion to dismiss all 22 counts on Thursday, August 15. Twenty-one of the counts were dismissed without prejudice, and the other was simply dismissed. Judge Jed S. Rakoff deferred the decision on whether it is with or without prejudice.<\/p>\n

An attorney for Diddy, 55, reacted to the dismissal in a statement to Us Weekly.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the outset, we have said these claims were meritless, time-barred and legally deficient,\u201d lawyer Erica Wolff<\/strong> said in her statement. \u201cThe court agreed, finding no legal basis to allow them to proceed. We are pleased the court carefully analyzed and swiftly dismissed these baseless claims.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSeveral Making the Band alums have come forward with allegations about Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs over the years, including Danity Kane\u2019s Dawn Richard and Aubrey O\u2019Day. In the new documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, Da Band\u2019s Sara Rivers is the latest participant to share her story. \u201cSometimes people will stop short and say, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rivers, 47, named Diddy in a lawsuit<\/a> filed in February, accusing him of sexual harassment. (Rivers appeared on Diddy\u2019s reality TV show Making the Band 2 <\/i>as a member of Da Band.)<\/p>\n

Diddy vehemently denied the allegations at the time, with his attorneys calling the claims \u201cfalse.\u201d<\/p>\n

The disgraced music mogul has been incarcerated<\/a> at Brooklyn\u2019s Metropolitan Detention Center since September 2024. He was arrested on multiple counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, denying every accusation and pleading not guilty.<\/p>\n

Diddy was found guilty<\/a> on the two transportation counts but acquitted on the other charges when his trial concluded in July. He is set to be sentenced in October after being denied bail. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n
