Dawn Richard’s lawsuit against Diddy has been officially dismissed by a Federal court, marking a significant legal win for the music mogul.

As reported by TMZ, Judge Katherine Polk Failla concluded that all 18 claims filed by Richard could not proceed at the Federal level due to various procedural issues.

It’s important to note that the judge did not weigh in on whether Richard’s claims were truthful. Instead, her decision was based on technical aspects, including filing errors and other legal obstacles that prevented the case from advancing to trial.

Among the dismissed claims, 15 were found to be beyond the statute of limitations. Two additional allegations related to the song “Deliver Me” were rejected due to copyright considerations.

Lastly, the claim regarding gender-motivated violence was deemed unsuitable for Federal court and recommended for adjudication at the state level.

Despite this setback, the ruling offers a possible path forward for Richard. The judge highlighted that New York City’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Act could provide an opportunity to pursue legal action locally, regardless of time restrictions. Her legal team has indicated plans to explore this avenue in their continued pursuit of justice.

“We’re certainly disappointed in the dismissals,” attorney Arick Fudali of The Bloom Firm explained.

“However, we’re very encouraged that the judge chose not to dismiss with prejudice, and basically just refer the Gender Motivated Violence Act claim to state court. We feel very confident in the Gender Motivated Violence Act claims. We believe those are our primary claims anyway. We’re encouraged with the ability to pursue our Gender Motivated Violence Act claims in state court.”
