DiddyThe case stemming from a lawsuit filed by a producer he worked with appears to have been settled in court — but it’s a total mistake and it’s not over yet… TMZ has learned.
An official court update arrived Wednesday regarding the Jones v. Jones case. Combs from New York – and suggests that Diddy and Rodney Jones (the guy suing him) came to an agreement and reached a settlement.
According to the court docket… a settlement conference was held on Wednesday, and it was apparently revealed that Diddy and Rodney had not only reached an agreement, but that the two parties would present a draft of their agreement next week .
The docket update also says the parties attended Wednesday’s conference via video.
However, as it turns out… this is NOT true at all. Sources with direct knowledge – on both sides of the case – tell TMZ that this lawsuit is still ongoing and that no settlement has been reached. We’re told that court officials appear to have messed up.
One way to know that this was a clerical error is that the judge listed on the docket for this case is not the one who has presided thus far – it’s a completely different judge from White Plains, NY… and more importantly, they’re not the judge assigned here.
Long story short, it’s a false alarm as we’re told Diddy plans to fight this case – remember, he denied everything Rodney’s claims …which covered a wide range of salacious topics.
The Only Diddy Affair settled down so far it is Cassia process last year. In this regard, though, he seems ready to go to trial if he needs to… and Rodney isn’t budging either.
