Diddy and Christian Combs Settle Summa LLP Unpaid-Fees Lawsuit

The confidential agreement ends Summa’s fee case tied to work on Christian Combs’s defense in a 2022 yacht lawsuit.

Overview

  • Court filings show Summa LLP alleged at least $53,688.35 in unpaid invoices for more than 100 attorney hours and roughly 90 paralegal hours billed since March 2025.
  • Summa dismissed its suit after a settlement that the firm’s attorney, Alejandro Barrientos, confirmed without disclosing financial terms.
  • The billed work largely related to defending Christian Combs in Grace O’Marcaigh’s civil case alleging an attempted coerced sex act aboard a chartered yacht in 2022.
  • Sean “Diddy” Combs disputes the yacht allegations and previously sought dismissal, arguing he was not a party to the charter agreement.
  • The fee resolution does not address the merits of O’Marcaigh’s claims, and Diddy remains incarcerated following federal convictions tied to transportation to engage in prostitution.
