Diddy scored a significant partial win in April Lampros’s civil suit after a judge dismissed most of her claims—covering alleged rape, battery, and emotional distress from the 1990s—as time-barred by New York’s statute of limitations and lacking sufficient factual detail. Additionally, any claims against Bad Boy Records and Sony Music were dropped, narrowing the legal firestorm to focus almost exclusively on Combs himself.

What’s left is a single active allegation under New York’s Gender‑Motivated Violence Protection Law. Lampros claims that in late 2000 or early 2001, Combs physically grabbed her and tried to force himself on her—a moment she says she resisted. With that as the only surviving allegation, both parties are now entering discovery. Diddy’s legal team sees the much narrower case as a major strategic win, while Lampros’s attorney emphasizes that the remaining claim keeps her pursuit of accountability alive.
