Overview
- Combs, who filed his official answer Tuesday, denies every claim and asks the court to dismiss the lawsuit.
- Hay’s suit alleges a 2020 incident where Combs masturbated into a Notorious B.I.G. shirt and threw it at him, plus a 2005 episode and a later claim that CJ Wallace lured him to a site where Combs allegedly tried to force oral sex.
- The filing lays out multiple defenses that include consent, no actual confinement for false imprisonment, a claim of lawful citizen’s arrest, possible self‑defense, and arguments that the claims are time‑barred or not mitigated.
- Combs’ lawyers say Hay suffered no harm and request judgment in Combs’ favor with no damages awarded.
- Judge Michael E. Whitaker denied an earlier dismissal in March, so the civil case moves forward as Combs serves a 50‑month federal sentence at Fort Dix with a projected April 2028 release.
