Despite various reports, Diddy did not pay the police a visit yesterday. His attorney had
this to say:
"What is being reported in the media is inaccurate," the statement reads. "Mr. Combs is not going to be arrested today. We are hopeful that this matter will be resolved without the filing of any criminal charges, as this was a disagreement among acquaintances, not a criminal assault."
MTV also notes that a one of Diddy's publicists said that Diddy and Acevedo have known each other for 13 years and the dispute was not over a woman.
There had also been reports that Diddy and Acevedo had met and worked it out. This is also untrue, according to
Acevedo's attorney, Mark Heller:
"That report is inaccurate," ... "As I understand [it], my client did not interface in any way, shape or form with Sean Combs [at Butter]. At this point, the altercation between Sean Combs and Steven Acevedo, which took place the other evening, has given rise to an extensive criminal investigation, and no civil proceedings have been initiated yet, pending the outcome of the criminal investigation and subsequent criminal prosecution, should one be initiated.
"[Acevedo] will seriously weigh his options, based on the outcome, but needless to say, it's certainly premature to presume that any resolution has been reached at this point, either in the criminal proceedings or in any civil arena,"
Nonetheless, Acevedo told the
New York Post that he intends to fight Diddy.
Steven Acevedo, 31, told The Post that reports that he and Sean "Diddy" Combs had made up after meeting at the club Butter following their violent scuffle were not true and the gloves are still off.
"Definitely not," he said outside his Manhattan apartment, before slowly drawing his finger across his throat in a menacing gesture directed at the hip-hop mogul, who is a longtime acquaintance.
