Druski is firing back hard against a woman accusing him of rape — and he’s coming with receipts and legal muscle. The viral comedian has taken his case to federal court, not only seeking to clear his name but also to hold the accuser’s attorneys accountable for what he claims are “provably false” allegations.
On Friday, Druski — real name Drew Desbordes — filed documents in federal court addressing allegations brought by Ashley Parham, who named him among several high-profile individuals in a lawsuit alleging rape in Northern California on March 23, 2018. The suit also includes Sean “Diddy” Combs, Odell Beckham Jr., and others.
Druski Claims Police Report Contradicts Allegations
In his legal filing, Druski points out that Parham’s original police report from that date only named a man called Shane Pearce and an unidentified white male as the perpetrators — with no mention of Druski, Diddy, or Odell Beckham Jr. Druski argues that this key document, which is publicly available, should have been discovered by Parham’s attorneys — Ariel Mitchell and Shawn Perez — before filing such serious claims.
He questions why her legal team didn’t perform this basic due diligence, stating, “The document was easily obtainable from the public record.”
Receipts Show Druski Was 3,000 Miles Away
Druski also included a mountain of evidence in his filing to back up his claims that he was nowhere near Northern California at the time of the alleged incident. In March 2018, he says he was living in Georgia, working regular jobs and far from the entertainment industry.
At the time, Druski was a 23-year-old working as a server at Outback Steakhouse. His documents include:
- His employment records at Outback.
- An application for a new job at LongHorn Steakhouse.
- Phone records showing all his calls between March 19–30, 2018 originated in Georgia.
- A bank statement showing a gas station purchase in Georgia on March 23, 2018 — the exact day of the alleged assault.
In his own words, he was “living paycheck to paycheck” at the time and had no ties to the entertainment industry, making the accusations even more implausible in his view.
Seeking Dismissal and Legal Consequences
Based on what he presents as clear and verifiable evidence of his innocence, Druski is asking the court to:
- Dismiss him from the lawsuit entirely, and
- Sanction Parham’s attorneys, Ariel Mitchell and Shawn Perez, for what he describes as negligence and reckless representation.
He argues that the lack of proper investigation into basic public records before filing the lawsuit warrants legal penalties against the accuser’s legal team.
Accuser’s Attorney Responds
In response to the filing, Ariel Mitchell, representing Ashley Parham, gave a brief statement to TMZ, saying:
“We will litigate our claims in court like we always have. We look forward to our day in court.”
A Legal Battle with Major Implications
The case has attracted national attention not only due to the high-profile names involved, but also because of the growing scrutiny around the responsibilities of attorneys in filing such serious claims. Druski’s move to go on the offensive reflects a broader shift in how public figures are responding to allegations — with aggressive legal strategies and detailed counterevidence.
For now, the court will need to assess whether Druski’s claims are strong enough to warrant dismissal from the case and sanctions against the plaintiff’s lawyers. But one thing is clear: he’s not backing down.
