Plaintiffs’ Lawyers Move to Exit Diddy Lawsuit That Names Druski and Odell Beckham Jr.

The withdrawal leaves the plaintiffs seeking new counsel under a judge’s earlier warning about the lack of a factual basis for claims against Druski.

Overview

  • Attorneys Shawn R. Perez and Ariel Mitchell filed to withdraw on Oct. 8, citing irreconcilable differences and asking the court for a brief pause to allow a transition.
  • The case was brought by Ashley Parham with additional anonymous plaintiffs identified as Jane Doe and John Doe.
  • A federal judge in August said there appeared to be no reasonable factual basis to keep Druski in the case and directed the plaintiffs to justify his inclusion or move to drop him.
  • Druski has publicly denied the allegation and submitted alibi-type records indicating he was in Georgia, while Odell Beckham Jr. has also denied involvement.
  • The court must decide on the withdrawal and any stay, and the plaintiffs still face earlier directives regarding their allegations against specific defendants.
