Diddy’s legal troubles escalated earlier this year, with Judge Andrew Carter ruling on September 30 that the music mogul must remain behind bars until his trial. Carter’s decision upheld an earlier ruling in August by Judge Robyn Tarnofsky, who rejected Diddy’s bail request.
The case saw another delay in October when it was reassigned to Judge Arun Subramanian. In November, Subramanian reinforced the decision to deny bail, citing Diddy’s “propensity for violence”.
Following these repeated setbacks, Diddy’s attorney Alexandra Shapiro filed documents opting out of further bail attempts. The filings confirm that his legal team will “withdraw and voluntarily dismiss the appeal.”
Mounting Sexual Assault Allegations
Diddy’s legal battles intensified further with new sexual assault allegations emerging on Thursday, December 12. According to reports, three men filed lawsuits accusing the music mogul of drugging and sexually assaulting them between 2019 and 2022.

The lawsuits detail a “frighteningly consistent” pattern where the alleged victims claim Diddy spiked their drinks before the attacks, which reportedly took place at his home or in hotel rooms.
Diddy’s Legal Team Responds
Diddy’s attorneys were quick to issue a response to the allegations, stating:
“These complaints are full of lies. We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him.”
Conclusion
With bail no longer on the table and new allegations complicating his legal defense, Diddy’s path to his May 2025 trial continues to face mounting scrutiny. The developments add another chapter to the mogul’s ongoing legal battles, which remain a focal point in the entertainment and legal worlds.
