Macy's is seeking to be removed from a lawsuit accusing it of violating a gender-violence law related to an alleged 2008 sexual assault by Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The lawsuit claims Macy's ignored the incident involving an employee at their Herald Square store. Macy's contends the plaintiff’s assertion that Combs is an "equal opportunity sexual predator" undermines the gender bias claim, indicating assaults were aimed at both genders. Macy's position includes the assertion that the allegations were about a same-sex assault, potentially exempting them from liability under the law.
The plaintiff's own allegations establish that this was a same-sex assault, but that Mr. Combs sexually assaulted both men and women, without regard to gender.
Macy's argues the plaintiff cannot accuse them of gender bias given that he describes Combs as an equal opportunity sexual predator.
