In a ruling issued on May 13, 2025, U.S. District Judge Vernon S. Broderick denied the plaintiff’s renewed motion to proceed anonymously in a civil case against Sean Combs. The plaintiff alleges that Combs, along with possibly one or more associates, raped her during a party in Las Vegas in 2014. While the court had initially granted her provisional anonymity on November 4, 2024—pending the defendants' formal appearance—Judge Broderick reassessed the matter once the case progressed and found that the balance of interests no longer favored anonymity.
Judge Broderick concluded that allowing the plaintiff to proceed anonymously would unduly prejudice the defendants, particularly given the serious nature of the allegations and the public profile of the accused. He also emphasized the broader public interest in transparency, especially in a high-profile case involving a well-known public figure like Combs. The court found that these considerations outweighed the plaintiff’s privacy concerns and interest in remaining anonymous, leading to the denial of her request. The ruling underscores the judiciary’s commitment to open proceedings when they intersect with matters of public accountability and legal fairness.
