Druski’s defense in Diddy lawsuit is 91 cents in the bank and Zelle from Mom

Comedian and social media influencer Druski, whose real name is Drew Desbordes, is strongly defending himself against accusations of sexual assault that supposedly happened at a 2018 party hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs. His defense relies on proving he had very little money and was not in the same location as the alleged incident, using bank and phone records as his main evidence.

The lawsuit was filed by Ashley Parham, who also named Diddy, Odell Beckham Jr., and Jaguar Wright as defendants. Parham claims she was drugged, taken against her will, and assaulted at a party in Northern California. However, Druski describes a completely different situation for himself in 2018.

A key part of Druski’s defense is his 2018 bank records, which were reported on by TMZ. These records, covering March 10 to April 9, 2018, show he had only $0.91 in his account. This supports his argument that he was not living a wealthy lifestyle that would have allowed him to be involved in the kind of event described in the lawsuit. According to the statements, his only income at the time came from Zelle transfers sent by his mother.

Druski’s defense was his bank account

This suggests he was living a modest life, depending on his mother for financial help. He claims that it would have been impossible for him to attend an expensive, high-profile party in California with so little money.

Druski’s phone records from Verizon also help support his alibi. The records show that on March 23, 2018 (the date of the alleged assault), he made sixteen calls, all to or from phone numbers in Georgia.

This strongly indicates he was in Georgia at the time, living with his mother, as he has stated. This directly goes against Parham’s claim that he was at the party in Northern California. The records also confirm that Druski was on his mother’s phone plan, which further shows he had very little money of his own during that period.

There is a big difference between Druski’s financial situation in 2018 and his current success. He became famous years later, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when his comedy videos went viral. This sudden fame allowed him to attend events and meet celebrities like Diddy and Beckham Jr., who are now also named in the lawsuit.

However, in 2018, his only spending money came from his mother. His mom paid for small expenses like a $12.13 trip to Coldstone Creamery. His legal team argues that this huge difference in his circumstances proves he was not part of the wealthy social circle connected to the alleged incident.

Parham’s lawsuit includes specific accusations against Druski. She claims he poured oil on her, jumped on her, and treated it “like a slip and slide,” then assaulted her while Diddy supposedly recorded. These accusations have not been proven.

Druski has firmly denied all claims, posting a public statement on X (formerly Twitter) calling the allegations “a fabricated lie.” He wrote, “I wasn’t a public figure in 2018—I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish.” He said he feels for real victims of abuse but is confident the evidence will clear his name.
