Sean “Diddy” Combs is dealing with authorized motion from a former nanny who claims she was wrongfully terminated.

Based on court docket paperwork obtained by The Instances, the nanny claims to be the niece of Combs’ late romantic accomplice Kim Porter, who died in November 2018 at age 47 of pneumonia.

Within the lawsuit filed Tuesday, the plaintiff alleged that Diddy “personally requested” her to dwell with him and his household and turn out to be the full-time nanny to his and Porter’s twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie, the day after Porter’s passing. The twins have been 11 on the time.

The lady, recognized as Jane Roe in court docket filings, stated she was “answerable for the twins’ 24/7 care” and alleges that Combs and his groups concocted a marketing campaign to get her fired when she revealed in August 2020 that she was pregnant and deliberate to take maternity depart. She claimed she was fired in January 2021 “as a result of she was pregnant and single, which purportedly set a foul instance for [Combs’] daughters.”

Combs allegedly reacted with hostility when he was knowledgeable of Roe’s plans to take depart by “yelling and cussing” and refusing to honor his promise of getting Roe and her son “one of the best well being and dental insurance coverage” and to deal with her medical prices.

On account of termination, Roe claimed to have an “intangible lack of employment-related alternatives and harm to her skilled fame” and has suffered “emotional misery.”

A spokesperson for Diddy responded to the allegations in a assertion to TMZ on Tuesday night time disputing a number of of the claims made in opposition to the 52-year-old mogul and referring to Roe as “Raven.”

“This lawsuit is a meritless shakedown to extort cash from Mr. Combs. Raven isn't the niece of Kim Porter as she falsely alleges; neither is there any authorized foundation for this case to be filed below the anonymity as a ‘Jane Doe [sic],’” the assertion reads. “Raven was a part-time babysitter to the twins who Mr. Combs stored on the job again in 2018 to supply continuity for the twins following the premature loss of life of their mom. Mr. Combs graciously permitted Raven to dwell in his house along with her son and handled them like ‘household.’

“Her babysitting companies have been at all times meant to be short-term particularly for the reason that women have been getting older and spending many of the day at college. In truth, Raven’s transition out of her position was deliberate and agreed to by her lengthy earlier than she even talked about that she was pregnant. Mr. Combs will take swift and quick motion to guard his household in opposition to these false claims.”

Roe is looking for an unspecified quantity in damages.
