Harper continued, “It’s important to understand that while I was present in some of the same professional settings mentioned, many of the allegations and incidents described in this suit are not representative of my experiences, and some do not align with my own truth.”

Speaking of her husband, the singer-songwriter added, “Tony and I have always conducted ourselves with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. We were not involved in, nor were we aware of, any behavior that could be considered abusive or unlawful.”

“As this matter is now part of an ongoing legal process, I will refrain from discussing any specific details further,” she concluded. “My focus continues to be on my same dedication and positivity that have always guided me. I trust that the legal system will handle this case with the fairness and thoroughness it requires, and I support any process that seeks to uncover the truth.”

In that complaint, Richard noted that she allegedly witnessed Combs physically assaulting multiple women, including Ventura — who previouslysuedthe Bad Boy Records founder for abuse and latersettled— “on numerous occasions,” according to documents from Richard’s complaint.

The claim, the eighth of a similar nature levied against Combs, also stated that the producer owes Richard roughly $3.5 million in “unpaid salaries and royalties” stemming from Danity Kane’s first album, as well as “unpaid wages for touring on over 100 dates.”

Wolff added, “It’s unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship aside to try and get money from him, but Mr. Combs is confidently standing on truth and looks forward to proving that in court.”
