<ul class="summary-list"><li>Sean "Diddy" Combs has been accused of sexual assault in new lawsuits.</li><li>They are the start of a wave of more than 100 lawsuits expected to come over the next month.</li></ul><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-combs-diddy-business-income-dried-up-ciroc-music-deleon-2024-10">Sean "Diddy" Combs</a> has been accused of rape, molesting a teenage boy, and sexual assault in six new lawsuits filed against the embattled hip-hop music mogul.The lawsuits, filed Monday in Manhattan federal court, are part of a larger wave of complaints that Combs is expected to face. Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee said in September that his firm is representing 120 accusers who he says will bring <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/timeline-sean-diddy-combs-sexual-misconduct-timeline-2024-2">lawsuits against Combs</a>.Buzbee said the cases will also include <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/famous-people-sexual-assault-lawsuits-against-sean-diddy-combs-2024-4">allegations against other celebrities</a>. The lawsuits will detail alleged incidents that took place between 1991 and 2024 and will come from men, women, and minors at the time, he said during a September press conference."The claims we intend to bring will include the following: violent sexual assault or rape, sexual abuse, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, false imprisonment, compelling prostitution, sexual misconduct, dissemination of video recordings, and sexual abuse of minors," Buzbee said at the time.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-diddy-combs-bond-court-jail-trial-2024-9">Combs, who was indicted</a> by a Manhattan grand jury in September on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation for the purposes of prostitution, already faced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/timeline-sean-diddy-combs-sexual-misconduct-timeline-2024-2">dozen civil lawsuits</a> accusing him of sexual misconduct.The rapper and entrepreneur has vehemently denied the charges and any claims accusing him of sexual assault or misconduct.Combs' legal troubles began last November when his former girlfriend, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-combs-diddy-sex-trafficking-rape-abuse-lawsuit-cassie-venutura-2023-11">Cassandra Ventura</a>, sued him, accusing him of abuse and rape. The two settled, and Combs at first denied wrongdoing, though he later apologized for his behavior when footage of him physically abusing her at a California hotel came to light.Following Ventura's lawsuit, other women came forward, accusing Combs in additional lawsuits of a slew of actions, including drugging and rape.The federal investigation into Combs had been brewing at the time. The investigation became public in March, when agents from the Department of Homeland Security <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/p-diddy-miami-mansion-on-star-island-paid-off-mortgage-2024-9">raided Diddy's homes</a> in Los Angeles and Miami. Combs was arrested in September on three felony charges.Prosecutors said in the indictment against Combs that he and his associates "wielded the power and prestige" of Combs' success to "intimidate, threaten, and lure female victims" into his orbit "often under the pretense of a romantic relationship."At the center of the indictment are accusations that Combs orchestrated "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-diddy-combs-indictment-allegations-freak-off-sex-performances-2024-9">Freak Offs</a>," which prosecutors describe in court papers as "elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded."Prosecutors also allege he assaulted women by "striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them."Combs remains locked up at a notorious Brooklyn jail after being twice denied his request to be released on a $50 million bond package. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/diddy-sbf-dorm-style-room-brooklyn-jail-crypto-ftx-2024-9">Diddy was placed in the same dormitory as Sam Bankman-Fried</a>, who's serving 25 years for fraud after stealing $8 billion from customers of his FTX crypto exchange. Combs' lawyers didn't immediately return a request for comment from Business Insider Monday afternoon.This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

Diddy hit with a fresh set of sex assault allegations as a new wave of lawsuits kicks off

The worldwide department store chain was named as a defendant in one of at least <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-combs-diddy-new-allegations-lawsuits-2024-10">six federal lawsuits</a>, all alleging sexual assaults, filed against the hip-hop entrepreneur in Manhattan Monday. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25204963-combs-lawsuit-macys-attack-complaint-20241014">The 19-page lawsuit</a> is one of two filed Monday that names an outside company as a defendant beyond <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-combs-diddy-business-income-dried-up-ciroc-music-deleon-2024-10">the companies belonging to Combs</a>. It was filed on behalf of a "John Doe" who now lives in Ohio. The plaintiff alleges that he was orally raped by Combs while working in the stockroom of the flagship store. The plaintiff said he worked for Ecko, a rival clothing company to Combs' Sean John brand that was also carried by Macy's. On the day of the attack, Combs entered into the stockroom with three armed bodyguards, the lawsuit says. One or more of the guards struck him — he may have been pistol-whipped, he alleges — causing him to fall to his hands and knees, the lawsuit said. The plaintiff says in the lawsuit that one or more of the bodyguards threatened to kill him. The plaintiff said Combs demanded he perform oral sex on him, calling him by the name of the company he worked for, "Ecko." Combs proceeded to orally rape the plaintiff in what was described as a two-minute attack, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that after the assault, Combs grabbed armfuls of Sean John merchandise from the stockroom, went out onto the retail floor, and "began passing out merchandise to an adoring crowd, as if nothing had happened." The lawsuit accuses Macy's of quickly covering up the incident. <div type="image" title="Sean Combs, Cassie Ventura, and Terry Lundgren stand in front of a Macy's backdrop." height="2191" width="3000" msid="114232336" hostid="261"></div>The plaintiff reported it the same day to company security, but there was no follow-up, and he was soon barred from the store, the lawsuit alleges. "Approximately three weeks later, <keyword id="23786414" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Terry-Lundgren" source="keywords">Terry Lundgren</keyword>, CEO of Macy's, pressured Ecko executives to fire plaintiff because Macy's had just signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Sean John Clothing," the suit says. The plaintiff was eventually fired and told by Ecko that he could no longer live in his company-paid apartment in the city, the lawsuit says. Ecko was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit. The company did not immediately return requests for comment from Business Insider after normal business hours on Monday. The plaintiff "believes that the report of the assault was destroyed or otherwise purged from Macy's records, and no action was ever taken as a result of the report." He still "fears for his life," the lawsuit says. Macy's and Lundgren did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the allegations. Attorneys for Combs released a statement Monday, again denying that the artist ever committed sexual assault. They called the lawsuits filed Monday an attempt to "garner publicity." "Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process," the lawyers said. "In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman." The lawsuits against Combs were filed in Manhattan by the Texas-based <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.txattorneys.com/">Buzbee Law Firm</a>, co-counsel <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://avalaw.com/">AVA Law Group</a>, and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.curislaw.com/">Curis Law.</a> The Sean John brand, founded in 1998, appears now to be defunct. Its Instagram page is blank, and its website is broken. At one point, it had expanded to include clothing, furniture, fragrance, and footwear, and by 2010, the brand reported retail sales of over $525 million. Starting in 2011, the company's lucrative sportswear line — which it said made up about half of its sales — was exclusively sold at Macy's. Five of the retailer's locations included Sean John shops, where the company's goods were marketed and sold in prime locations, and Combs appeared in commercials for the store. For years, it was among the department chain's top-selling men's brands, <a target="_blank" class="c-link" href="https://wwd.com/menswear-news/mens-retail-business/sean-combs-puffy-global-brands-sean-john-10714373/">WWD reported</a>. "I have always admired Sean's sense of fashion, as well as his business acumen. He has a keen insight into the needs of a style-conscious, contemporary man," Lundgren <a target="_blank" class="c-link" href="https://www.macysinc.com/newsroom/news/news-details/2010/Sean-John-Sportswear-to-be-Sold-Exclusively-at-Macys-05-05-2010/default.aspx">said</a> of Combs when the exclusivity deal was announced in 2010 — two years after the alleged <a target="_blank" href="http://assault.In">assault.</a> "He was the first person to believe in me," the hip-hop star said of Lundgren, returning the compliment in a 2012 <a target="_blank" class="c-link" href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/SB50001424052748704723404578199501748850748">Barron's article</a>. "He was like a godfather," Combs said. In 2016, Combs sold a majority stake in the brand for $70 million, but under new management, the brand floundered and eventually filed for bankruptcy. In 2021, Combs purchased the business back for $7.55 million. Sean John continued to be sold at Macy's until last fall, though a spokesperson did not comment on whether the line was pulled due to the mounting accusations against Combs. Combs remains in jail awaiting a sex-trafficking trial scheduled for May 5. Correction: October 21, 2024 — Due to an error during editing, an earlier version of this story misstated Sean Jean's revenue. The brand, as a whole, reported over $525 million in retail sales in 2010, not specifically at Macy's.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Armie Hammer said on Instagram that he had to sell his pickup truck.</li><li>He said he couldn't afford gas after moving back to LA.</li></ul><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/where-is-armie-hammer-now-2024-4">Armie Hammer</a> said he had to sell his pickup truck because he couldn't afford gas, three years after his reputation was tarnished by allegations of sexual assault and cannibalism.Hammer was a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/armie-hammer-movie-career-life-scandal-timeline">rising star</a> in the 2010s after starring in popular movies including "Call Me By Your Name." But his reputation tanked in early 2021 when multiple women accused him of abuse and shared explicit messages they said were from the actor, which detailed acts of cannibalism. The messages have not been verified by Business Insider. Hammer called the claims "bullshit" in a statement to Variety in January 2021. He later said he was emotionally abusive to his accusers in an interview with <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://airmail.news/issues/2023-2-4/armie-hammer-breaks-his-silence">Air Mail</a> in 2023.The LAPD launched a two-year investigation into <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/armie-hammer-cannibal-dms-controversy-explained">Hammer</a> in March 2021, when one of the accusers, Efrosina Angelova, alleged in a press conference that the actor raped her in 2017. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/armie-hammer-rape-charge-la-district-attorney-drop-case-2023-6">Hammer was never charged</a> and denied the allegation.Since the controversy, Hammer has mostly been living in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/armie-hammer-once-thought-swimming-out-to-sea-kill-himself-2024-6">the Cayman Islands</a>, but in a new Instagram post shared on Tuesday, Hammer said he returned to LA a couple of weeks ago and moved into a new apartment.With the new move, Hammer said he had to give up his pickup truck, which he bought as a Christmas gift for himself in 2017, because gas in LA is so expensive. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gas-prices-states-lowest-highest-2024-7#california-has-the-highest-average-gas-prices-in-the-us-at-4-794-per-gallon-10">California</a> has the highest gas prices in the US."Since being back in L.A., I have put about four or five hundred dollars worth of gas in it. And I can't afford it. I can't afford the gas anymore," Hammer said. "I've loved this truck intensely."Hammer said he was selling the car at CarMax and had already bought a smaller <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hybrid-car-shopping-plug-in-traditional-what-to-know-2024-6">hybrid car</a> to make up for it."I'm probably gonna put about 10 bucks of gas in it a month," Hammer said.Later in the video, Hammer recalled the many memories he had with the car, such as hospital and camping trips."Here's to new beginnings. It's my birthday tomorrow so August 28th I will be starting my birthday in a new car, in a new apartment, in a new life in Los Angeles," Hammer said.Hammer didn't explain why he moved back to LA, but the actor might be looking to return to the entertainment industry.In June, Hammer said on the "Painful Lessons" podcast that he has written a script with a friend, which he hopes to turn into his next project.<h2 id="94cb4af5-d04a-42ae-9ff4-26986af9c7e4">Hammer hasn't been in a movie in years</h2>Hammer has not been in a movie since 2022's "<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/death-on-the-nile-trailer-poriot-gal-gadot-armie-hammer-2020-8">Death on the Nile</a>," which was filmed in 2019. Following the allegations in 2021, Hammer was dropped by his talent agency and publicist and left two movie projects and a TV series.Though Hammer is a descendant of oil tycoon Armand Hammer, the actor said in an episode of the "Club Random with Bill Maher" podcast in July that he is broke and doesn't have any share of the family money."I have come to the place where I understand that there are no free lunches. And anything that you take always has strings," Hammer said. "I would rather go get a job selling timeshares. I'd rather go get a job."Hammer added he couldn't get a work permit in the Cayman Islands.

Disgraced actor Armie Hammer says he can't afford gas after his career tanked following cannibalism and sexual assault allegations

I'm so grateful for the career that I had," he said, adding that he felt like he still had "so much to offer" the industry.Across the past seven years, Spacey has secured less than a handful of acting roles.He has also faced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/men-who-accused-kevin-spacey-of-sexual-harassment-list-2017-11">number of other allegations</a> of inappropriate behavior, the most recent of which were <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-spacey-denies-new-allegations-inappropriate-sexual-behavior-unmasked-documentary-2024-5">brought to light in the docuseries "Spacey Unmasked."</a>In 2023, a London court found Spacey not guilty of sexually assaulting four men.Spacey's NewsNation interview came after several notable actors, including Liam Neeson and Sharon Stone, came forward to defend Spacey and publicly <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-spacey-liam-neeson-sharon-stone-hollywood-return-2024-5">show their support for his Hollywood comeback.</a>Neeson told <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/15/kevin-spacey-return-to-acting-sharon-stone-liam-neeson/">The Telegraph</a> in an interview published on Wednesday that Spacey was "one of our finest artists in the theatre and on camera.

Personally speaking, our industry needs him and misses him greatly."Spacey has faced a number of sexual assault allegations in recent years. In 2017, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-fires-kevin-spacey-house-of-cards-2017-11">Netflix fired Spacey </a>from its political drama, "House of Cards," after Rapp claimed he assaulted him at a party in 1986. In October 2022, a New York jury <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jury-verdict-kevin-spacey-sexual-abuse-trial-anthony-rapp-2022-10">found Spacey not liable</a> for battery in the sexual assault lawsuit Rapp filed against him.Further allegations came in 2017, when 20 members of staff at the Old Vic theater in London, where Spacey was artistic director from 2004 to 2015, accused him of inappropriate behavior. The theater said an independent investigation could not verify the allegations, but in November 2017 its artistic director <a target="_blank" href="https://www.oldvictheatre.com/author/hubby/">publicly apologized</a> to "all those who have come forward."Separately, four men in London accused Spacey of sexual assault, and he faced nine sexual offense charges over incidents alleged to have taken place between 2001 and 2013.

But I cannot and will not take responsibility or apologize to anyone who's made up stuff about me or exaggerated stories about me."Spacey has not worked in Hollywood since the 2017 accusations, which came amid the #MeToo movement that empowered victims to share their stories, and saw Hollywood producer <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harvey-weinstein-timeline-allegations-accusations-trial-scandal-prison-2023-2">Harvey Weinstein</a> convicted for rape and sexual assault. Neeson, Stone, and British TV star Stephen Fry have come forward to defend Spacey after the documentary <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kevin-spacey-denies-new-allegations-inappropriate-sexual-behavior-unmasked-documentary-2024-5">"Spacey Unmasked" documentary was released in May</a>.

Kevin is a good man and a man of character. He's sensitive, articulate and non-judgmental, with a terrific sense of humor.""Basic Instinct" actor Stone also echoed Neeson's sentiment, and told The Telegraph: "I can't wait to see Kevin back at work. He is a genius. He is so elegant and fun, generous to a fault and knows more about our craft than most of us ever will."The Telegraph wrote that Stone seemingly criticized some of the "aspiring actors" who came forward in the documentary. "It's terrible that they are blaming him for not being able to come to terms with themselves for using him and negotiating with themselves because they didn't get their secret agendas," she said.Fry also told the newspaper that it is wrong "to continue to harass and hound him, to devote a whole documentary to accusations that simply do not add up to crimes … how can that be considered proportionate and justified?"On May 2, Spacey made a statement about the Channel 4 documentary on X. "Each time I have been given the time and a proper forum to defend myself, the allegations have failed under scrutiny and I have been exonerated," he wrote.

The statement said: "Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name."In November, Combs' ex-partner Casandra Ventura filed a lawsuit against him, alleging sexual assault, rape, and abuse. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-combs-diddy-sex-trafficking-rape-abuse-lawsuit-cassie-venutura-2023-11">Combs settled with Ventura</a> on November 17, a day after the suit was filed.In early December, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, wrote on X about his documentary.He posted a clip of former Bad Boy Records rapper Mark Curry alleging that Combs spiked women's drinks at a party. Afterward, a representative confirmed to <a target="_blank" href="https://variety.com/2023/music/news/50-cent-diddy-documentary-donate-proceeds-to-victims-1235827607/">Variety</a> that a documentary about Combs was being developed by 50 Cent's production company, G-Unit Film and Television."I can confirm that the untitled 'Diddy' documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson serving as Executive Producer," the representative said.They pledged that all profits would go to victims of sexual assault and rape.<h2>50 Cent hinted that the documentary might be called "Diddy Do It?"</h2>Combs and 50 Cent have been <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/p-diddy-sean-combs-50-cent-beef-explained-2024-3">feuding since 2006</a>, and 50 Cent made a number of jokes on social media about Combs after the raids on Monday.On Monday, 50 Cent tweeted: "Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy done.""They don't come like that unless they got a case," he wrote of the federal raid. 50 Cent then posted a picture to X on Tuesday that he implied was artwork for the upcoming documentary, with the title: "Diddy Do It?"

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Anthony Anderson is facing scrutiny as he gets set to host this year's Emmy Awards.</li><li>The actor and comedian has faced accusations of sexual assault dating back to 2004. </li></ul>In December, "Black-ish" star <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/la-district-attorney-declines-to-prosecute-kevin-spacey-anthony-anderson-steven-seagal-2018-9">Anthony Anderson</a> was announced as the host of the 75th Emmy Awards, but the decision has proven controversial.Sexual-assault allegations against the actor and comedian, dating back to 2004, have resurfaced in recent weeks, along with calls to have him removed as host.Advocates cited three cases — two from 2004 and one from 2018. The charges were dropped in two cases, and the outcome is unknown in another."Anthony Anderson hosting the Emmys… do the producers just not Google these people?" wrote "<a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/shows-like-xo-kitty-watch-next">XO, Kitty</a>" screenwriter Alanna Bennett <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://twitter.com/AlannaBennett/status/1744172257323471304">on X</a> earlier this month.The Sexual Violence Prevention Association urged the Emmys and Fox, the network set to air this year's ceremony, to reconsider Anderson as host in an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C1xhTY0u_FS/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1">Instagram</a> post on January 6."The entertainment industry has the power and responsibility to protect individuals from sexual violence," the post reads in part.The SVPA said it encourages "the Emmys and Fox to not only remove Anderson as host, but to also conduct their due diligence going forward when selecting hosts."Here's what you need to know about the allegations against Anderson.<h2>Allegations against Anderson date back to 2004</h2><div type="image" title="Anthony Anderson at the Fox Winter press junket red carpet on on the FOX Lot." height="2616" width="3488" msid="106875344" hostid="261" sizebytes="411654"></div>Anderson, 53, was first accused of sexual assault in July 2004 when an extra on the set of "Hustle &amp; Flow" said that Anderson and assistant director Wayne Witherspoon had sexually assaulted her.According to a criminal complaint published by <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/anthony-anderson-rape-charge?page=1">The Smoking Gun</a> at the time, a 25-year-old woman told Tennessee authorities that she was "lured" inside a trailer where Anderson and Witherspoon "began removing her clothing and began sexually assaulting her."Per the complaint, the two men also restrained her and took photographs of her genitals against her will.After a witness heard her screams and unlocked the trailer, the woman ran away naked, the complaint said.Anderson was charged with aggravated rape and released after posting a $20,000 bond, as reported by The Smoking Gun.A spokesperson for the actor denied the allegations at the time, per <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/07/28/actor.rape.charge/index.html">CNN</a>."Anthony is a happily married family man who has never been accused of — no less involved in — anything remotely like this, and we are confident that when all the facts come out, he will be completely exonerated," the actor's spokesperson said.The case went to court, where the woman testified that the two men had forced her to have sex with them several times in the days before the encounter that she reported to police.However, the case was been dropped after a judge found that there was not sufficient probable cause, <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://ew.com/article/2004/10/07/rape-charges-dropped-against-anthony-anderson/">Entertainment Weekly</a> reported in October 2004.<h2>Another woman brought a $900,000 lawsuit against Anderson</h2><div type="image" title="Anthony Anderson attends the Wish Gala 2023 at Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, California." height="5684" width="3872" msid="106875346" hostid="261" sizebytes="556574"></div>In September 2004, Anderson faced a second accusation of sexual assault from a woman who brought a lawsuit against him, claiming that he made sexually suggestive remarks and assaulted her in his dressing room on the set of his short-lived WB sitcom "All About the Andersons" in 2003.Per <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.upi.com/Anthony-Anderson-sued-for-sexual-assault/33631095352252/">UPI</a>, the unnamed woman filed a civil lawsuit suit against the actor in Los Angeles Superior Court, requesting $900,000 in damages.As <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.eonline.com/news/48411/anderson-rape-charge-chucked">E! News</a> reported at the time, Anderson again "unequivocally" denied the allegations, with his spokesperson theorizing that the "ridiculous rape charges pending against him in Memphis" had made him a target.The outcome of this case is unknown. Anderson's representatives declined to comment on this story, including clarifying the lawsuit's outcome.<h2>In 2018, Anderson was accused of sexual assault for a third time</h2><div type="image" title="Anthony Anderson at the 75th Primetime Emmys exclusive press preview at JW Marriott LA Live in Los Angeles, California.." height="1985" width="2647" msid="106875347" hostid="261" sizebytes="448000"></div>In July 2018, Anderson faced a third accusation of sexual assault, per <a target="_blank" href="https://theblast.com/53252/anthony-anderson-lapd-investigation-assault-woman/">The Blast</a>, from a woman in Los Angeles who claimed that the star had assaulted her at an event she catered for the actor.The Los Angeles Police Department opened up a criminal investigation regarding the incident. However, in September 2018, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office declined to prosecute the case because the unnamed woman refused to be interviewed, per <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/kevin-spacey-anthony-anderson-steven-seagal-sex-crime-cases-declined-by-la-district-attorney-1139588/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.At the time, representatives for Anderson told <a target="_blank" href="https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/anthony-anderson-assault-investigation-for-assault-1202880247/">Variety</a>: "It's unfortunate that anyone can file a police report, whether it is true or false. The authorities have not contacted Anthony or any of his representatives about this matter. Anthony unequivocally disputes the claim."Anderson's representatives declined to comment on this story. Representatives for the Emmys did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sexual-assault allegations against Anthony Anderson are resurfacing as he hosts this year's Emmys

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Donald Trump showed up for an appeal in the case that found him liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll.</li><li>Friday's arguments focused on whether it was OK for the jury to hear about groping on a plane.</li></ul>Donald Trump actually showed up this time.The 2024 Republican presidential candidate appeared in a Manhattan federal appeals court Friday to watch the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-mimics-harvey-weinstein-arguments-e-jean-carroll-appeal-2024-9">oral arguments in the appeal of a jury verdict</a> finding him liable for sexual abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll.Much of the arguments — on the 17th floor of a Manhattan federal courthouse — focused on whether sexual assault testimony from one witness in the trial should have been tossed because the incident she alleges took place on an airplane.John Sauer, Trump's lawyer in the Friday arguments, said the jury should have never heard evidence from Jessica Leeds, who <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jessica-leeds-testifies-e-jean-carroll-trial-trump-sexual-assault-2023-5">testified that Trump groped her on a plane in the 1970s</a>.When Trump ran into Leeds a couple of years later, he recalled her as "that cunt from the airplane," Leeds testified.Leeds's allegations weren't part of Carroll's accusations, but the trial judge allowed her testimony because they demonstrated what Carroll's lawyers argued was a pattern of behavior by Trump.But Sauer said the testimony should have been "inadmissible" because the alleged events were under "territorial or maritime jurisdiction" and different rules of evidence applied.The three judges on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals panel hearing the case seemed largely skeptical of the arguments.US Circuit Judge Denny Chin appeared doubtful it would make sense to "order a new trial" based on the arguments."It's very hard to overturn a jury verdict for evidentiary grounds," he said.Carroll's lawyer Roberta Kaplan said there was no "special aircraft jurisdiction" that would have led to the exclusion of Leeds's testimony."It was a crime to grope someone on a plane," she said. "It is a crime to grope someone on a plane."<h2 id="075d33df-4a60-454b-8738-97b78ef8bf89">Trump didn't show up to the trial</h2><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-not-testifying-may-have-hurt-him-e-jean-carroll-2023-5">Trump skipped the trial for the case</a>, which took place in the spring of 2023. The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-liable-rape-e-jean-carroll-jury-verdict-2023-5">jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming</a> Carroll and ordered him to pay $5 million in damages.After suffering the court loss, Trump did attend nearly all of a second trial, in January of this year, which <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/e-jean-carroll-trump-trial-defamation-rape-sexual-abuse-2024-1">focused on additional defamation damages</a>.His lead attorney in the January trial, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/e-jean-carroll-judge-bench-slaps-trump-attorney-alina-habba-2024-1">Alina Habba, frequently sparred with the case's judge</a>. Trump himself stood up and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-walks-out-courtroom-e-jean-carroll-defamation-trial-2024-1">walked out of the courtroom</a> in the middle of closing arguments from Carroll's lawyer Roberta Kaplan.The jury in the second trial <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-disrespect-e-jean-carroll-trial-turned-jury-against-him-2024-1">ordered the former president to pay Carroll another $83 million in damages</a> for repeatedly calling her a liar and disparaging her appearance while denying the sexual assault.Carroll attended every day of both trials, as well as Friday's arguments. Kaplan declined to comment after the hearing.The appeal's oral arguments were held in a courthouse across the street from where the two Carroll v. Trump trials took place.Trump brought much of his expansive legal team with him Friday. In addition to Sauer, who made the oral arguments, he had attorneys Todd Blanche, Emil Bove, and Habba in tow. Two advisors, Boris Epshteyn and Joshua Katz, hung back at the same large table in the courtroom well.<div type="image" title="donald trump at a press conference" height="1666" width="2500" msid="113134697" hostid="261" sizebytes="141890"></div>Carroll brought her sexual abuse lawsuit against Trump using the Adult Survivor's Act, a New York law passed in the wake of the #MeToo movement that opened a window allowing for civil sexual misconduct claims that would otherwise be barred by the statute of limitations.Carroll alleged that, in the mid-1990s, Trump cornered her in a dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman's dressing room in Manhattan, a short walk from Trump Tower. In <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/e-jean-carroll-witness-stand-humor-trump-rape-trial-2023-5">harrowing testimony</a> for both trials, she described how his "curved finger" penetrated her without her consent. Two of Carroll's friends testified she told her about the incident shortly after it took place.Trump's lawyers have argued the verdict in the first trial should be tossed. In an appeal brief, lawyers Blanche and Bove — who also represent Trump in a slew of other cases — borrowed arguments from <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/harvey-weinstein-conviction-for-sex-crimes-overturned-2024-4">Harvey Weinstein's successful appeal</a> in his New York criminal case, who also argued accusers not part of the case shouldn't have been allowed to testify.Sauer argued Trump's case was "a textbook example" of a case wrongly propped up by propensity evidence rather than Trump's actual conduct."It's a quintessential he-said-she-said case," he said.The judges didn't appear to be convinced. US Circuit Court Judge Susan Carney mused about whether the verdict could stand when considering the "outcry witnesses" to who Carroll disclosed her story.Legal experts — including Weinstein's own lawyers — previously told BI the argument has a slim chance of success. Federal courtroom rules are more lenient when it comes to the testimony of "propensity witnesses" who help establish a pattern of behavior, particularly when it comes to civil cases."In these civil cases, you can certainly show a pattern, and that's basically what's happening, especially when you have a perpetrator with multiple alleged victims," Marci Hamilton, a University of Pennsylvania professor who helped write the Adult Survivors Act, told BI before Friday's arguments.On Friday, Kaplan emphasized that the ordinary rules were followed during the trial"Despite the prominence of this case, and the personalities involved, this is really about a routine application of federal rules of evidence," she said.<div type="image" title="E jean Carroll and her lawyer roberta kaplan leaving court" height="2992" width="4487" msid="113134700" hostid="261" sizebytes="915976"></div>She also jabbed at <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/carroll-lawyer-threatens-sanctions-trump-alina-habba-judge-mentor-2024-1">Habba's earlier claims</a> that she may have some kind of conflict of interest with the trial judge, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan."Just for the record, we are not related and he is not my mentor," she said.Trump is racing to clear away <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-key-cases-civil-criminal-investigations-lawsuits-updates-2022-7">many of his legal problems</a> ahead of the November presidential election, where is is facing off against Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.Earlier this year, Sauer won a resounding victory before the US Supreme Court in one of Trump's criminal cases. The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/supreme-court-trump-immunity-january-6-election-ruling-decision-2024-5">court recognized far-reaching presidential immunity</a> that delivered a siginificant setback to the Washington, DC-based criminal case aginst Trump over his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.Trump didn't show up to those oral arguments, either, in part because he was in another Manhattan courtroom during a trial for a different criminal case, where <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-hush-money-trial-verdict-2024-5">a jury found him guilty</a> of falsifying business documents as part of a different election interference scheme in 2016.Blanche and Bove, who represent part of his team in the Manhattan criminal case, have cited the US Supreme Court ruling to fight the verdict in that case as well. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, who presided over the trial, is expected to decide Friday whether he will once again delay Trump's sentencing, which is scheduled for September 18.Presidential immunity played a role in earlier court fights in the Carroll case. A Second Circuit panel previously ruled that Trump waived any presidential immunity protections and could not argue that they applied as he disparaged Carroll from the White House.In an interview with BI after the verdict in her first trial last year, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/e-jean-carroll-advice-sue-abusers-following-trump-trial-win-2023-5">Carroll said she heard from hundreds of readers</a> that her court verdicts gave them home that they could hold their own abusers accountable."They think, 'Well, if the former President of the United States can be held liable for sexual abuse, well then maybe my stepfather, maybe my old boss, maybe my ex-boyfriend, maybe that man who lived down the street — maybe I can hold them accountable for ruining my life,'" Carroll told BI.
