The Downfall Of Diddy: The Sanctions Battle Between UMG And Blackburn Continues (Part 1) (10/7/24)

The Epstein Chronicles

Tyrone Blackburn, the attorney representing Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones in his lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, has faced intense scrutiny and legal challenges, particularly from Universal Music Group (UMG) and their lawyer Donald Zakarin. Blackburn's lawsuit included allegations of sexual harassment, racketeering, and sex trafficking against Diddy, but it also named UMG and its CEO, Lucian Grainge, as co-defendants. UMG's legal team argued that these claims were baseless and lacked any evidentiary support.
Zakarin filed a Rule 11 motion seeking sanctions against Blackburn, accusing him of recklessly filing false allegations in an attempt to gain media attention. This legal action led to UMG and Grainge being dismissed from the lawsuit after Blackburn admitted there was no legal foundation for the claims against them. Additionally, a federal judge criticized Blackburn for what appeared to be a pattern of filing lawsuits to embarrass defendants and pressure them into settlements. The judge referred Blackburn to the grievance committee for potential disciplinary action​.
