after an MCA Records party in 1990 filed an amended complaint Tuesday, claiming for the first time that she was 16 years old the night of the alleged assault.
In her updated filing signed by lawyer Tyrone Blackburn, plaintiff Liza Gardner also claims that she has a letter from her therapist and an affidavit from a friend stating that she recounted the alleged assault during conversations in 2014 and 2019, respectively.
The new filing reiterates the broad outlines of the alleged assault, including Gardner’s claim that Combs forced himself on her and raped her during an “afterparty” at Hall’s apartment. It also adds more detail, describing what Gardner was wearing that night — a black skirt and button-up blouse — and how Combs allegedly “coerced” her into sex after giving her alcohol despite her young age.
“These are fabricated claims falsely alleging misconduct from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute. This is nothing but a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for anonymous accusers who lie without conscience or consequence for financial benefit,” the spokesperson said back in November. “The New York Legislature surely did not intend or expect the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited by scammers.
Gardner is one of five plaintiffs to sue Combs with allegations of sexual assault in recent months. The first to step forward was Cassie Ventura, the R&B singer whoAndrew Tate Was Arrested After Adin Ross Blabbed About His Escape PlansMichael Jackson Estate, Katherine Jackson Clash in Court Over $600 Million Catalog Deal in 1991 and then showed video of the assault to others.
