Aaron Hall Served in Civil Suit Alleging 1990 Assault
The successful service ends a yearlong search by the plaintiff’s team, enabling the civil case to move forward.
Overview
- Process server Andrew Drake says he located Hall at an Extended Stay America in Alpharetta, Georgia, and served him just before noon on February 2.
- Drake reports Hall looked at the documents, said, “I ain’t doing that,” and closed the door, leaving the papers inside at his feet.
- The lawsuit, filed by Liza Gardner, alleges Hall and Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually assaulted her in 1990 when she was 16, and it seeks damages.
- Gardner’s team had attempted service since mid-2024 through multiple California and Ohio addresses, a court-approved Los Angeles Times notice, and a search by private investigator Carlos Jackson that ultimately led to Georgia.
- Court records and outlet reports describe the matter as a civil proceeding with no criminal charges, and Combs has denied the allegations.
