Overview

• U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin said the refusal to drop Druski from the case "appears to lack any reasonable basis."
• The judge gave the plaintiff's attorneys until Sept. 9 to remove him or justify keeping him, warning of possible sanctions and fee-shifting.
• Druski's legal team filed phone and bank records they say show he was in Georgia, noting he was not in the entertainment industry or acquainted with Sean Combs in 2018.
• Plaintiff Ashley Parham alleges she was gang raped at a 2018 party in Orinda, California, naming Combs, Druski and Odell Beckham Jr.; all the accused have denied involvement.
• Coverage characterizes the ruling as a major win for Druski, though he has not been dismissed as the court awaits the plaintiff's response.
