‘ROUND THE WAY: SEAN “DIDDY” COMBS SUED FOR $12 MILLION BY FORMER EMPLOYEE

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was hit with a $12M lawsuit filed by Francesca Spero, the former VP of Management and Publishing at Bad Boy Entertainment. The 51 year-old claims that Diddy was not sympathetic to her medical condition and believes that she was a victim of age discrimination.

According to TMZ.com:

In the docs, Spero claims she and Diddy — aka Sean Combs — butted heads after she informed him that she needed major hip surgery in 2008 … and then later “suffered a relapse” to an addiction to prescription medication and alcohol. Spero claims Diddy was “unsympathetic to her condition” — and ultimately tried to freeze her out of the company. Spero says she continued to do her work — signing new artists — but was eventually fired in March 2010…and replaced by a woman 10-15 years younger who “lacked the skill set and experience Spero brought to the position.” [ SOURCE ]

A spokesperson for Mr. Combs told TMZ, “This is a grab for money by someone who concedes in her complaint to having had a drug relapse while on the job and an employer who was not satisfied with her work.”
