Sean Combs filed a defamation lawsuit against Nexstar Media Inc., the parent company of NewsNation, and Courtney Burgess and his lawyer Ariel Mitchell

Sean “Diddy” Combs has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against a man who publicly claimed to have videos depicting the mogul sexually assaulting inebriated celebrities and minors, which his lawyers say could negatively influence his upcoming trial.

Burgess appeared on NewsNation to double down on his claim that he was in possession of nearly a dozen flash drives containing Combs' alleged sex tapes.
