💨 Abstract

Sean "Diddy" Combs has increased his defamation lawsuit claim to R1.76 billion against Courtney Burgess, attorney Ariel Mitchell, and NewsNation's parent company, Nexstar. The lawsuit stems from airings on a US television that accused Combs of filming sex acts with underage people and celebrities. Combs' legal team argues that the interviews led to "severe reputational harm" and a "media frenzy" built on Burgess's unfounded claims.
