Diddy assault charges dropped

Sean "Diddy" Combs should be able to breathe a bit easier tonight. That's because the Los Angeles Attorney's Office announced that assault charges against Diddy would not be filed, stemming from an incident at a post-Oscars bash in which Diddy allegedly attacked a man.

A spokemsan for the attorney's office said that there was insufficient evidence to charge Diddy with assault.

The incident reportedly took place Feb. 25 outside a post-Oscars party at Hollywood's Rossevelt Hotel. The alleged victim, Gerard Rechnitzer, claimed that he watched Diddy flirt with his girlfriend for approximately five minutes before he decided to intervene. However, when he approached Combs, the music mogul reportedly flew into a rage, yelling, "What the fuck you looking at, dude? I'll smack flames out your ass." Combs then reportedly attacked Rechnitzer.

Combs' attorney, Benjamin Brafman, told the Post that his client's fame was the only culprit in the case. "People who are superstars are always vulnerable to these allegations."
