What's really shocking to me when you read all of the lawsuits that have been filed against Sean Combs is how brazen he was, how open he was, how he just has such a lack of concern about other people.

I have been doing sexual abuse cases for almost 40 years as an attorney representing victims. And I can tell you that the music industry is, in my opinion, the number one worst industry for women when it comes to sexual abuse. The Me Too movement largely bypassed the music industry. There are a few examples like R. Kelly, but not a lot.

And in general, in the music industry, sexual harassment and sexual abuse of women is tolerated. A lot of very high-level people are complicit. Women suffer. Women are overly sexualized. They're discarded like trash after they complain. And a reckoning is long overdue.

Yes. So I'm very proud to represent Dawn Richard. She's a lovely person and a terrific musician and very brave. And we filed her case several months ago, just before the criminal charges came down against Sean Combs. And the criminal case was strikingly similar to the complaint that we had already filed with some very similar allegations of sex trafficking and co-conspirators.

So we found that to be encouraging. We had a lot of different people and parties to sue in the case. That took a long time. We've had a fight with some of the other defendants besides Diddy. who don't want to be in the case and feel that they should be dismissed. Some of them we did dismiss. We worked with them. We looked at the facts.

We looked at what they had to say because I always want to be fair and reasonable. Some of them we did. Others we did not. And so we're having those fights over the motions to dismiss. Once all that gets sorted out by the judge on those motions, then we'll begin The discovery phase of the case, which means we take depositions, we exchange documents and information, ultimately get to a trial.

But we don't have a trial date yet, and I would expect that's at least a year away.
