Diddyis hitting back at allegations of sexual misconduct… by filing a response to one of the many civil lawsuits he faces, saying his alleged actions are time-barred — because the statute of limitations ran out years ago.
The rap mogul’s lawyers, Bad Boy Entertainment and Daddy’s House Recording, sent a letter in response to Crystal McKinney…saying claims under the Gender-Based Violence Protection Act expired in 2010, seven years after McKinney alleged Diddy assaulted her.
While his attorneys cited a local government ordinance that created a reopening period for claims, Diddy’s team says New York State Law takes precedence…and state law says it’s time for CM to make his claim.
The letter also argues that Bad Boy and Diddy’s other companies can’t be sued because they didn’t facilitate the alleged misconduct…so they can’t be held liable for it.
In case you missed it… McKinney filed the lawsuit in May — claiming she was invited to a Men’s Fashion Week event at Cipriani Downtown in New York City, where she said she met Diddy and he invited her to his studio.

In the studio, Crystal says she drank Hennessy and smoked with Diddy and his crew… and felt like she was floating — and she claims the joint may have been spiked.
She says Diddy then took her into the bathroom and forced her to perform oral sex on him…after which, she says she was banned from modeling, which led to a suicide attempt the following year.
