Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyer quits sex-trafficking case: ‘Under no circumstances can I continue’

One of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense lawyers quit the disgraced music producer’s criminal sex-trafficking case, new court papers show.

Anthony Ricco filed a motion Thursday to withdraw as one of the Bad Boy Records founder’s six defense attorneys without explanation.

Ricco’s bid to step down won’t be official until a judge signs off on it. A judge must find sufficient reason to approve such a request.

“Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs,” Ricco wrote in the Manhattan federal court filing. “It is respectfully but regrettably requested that the court grant the relief requested.”

The lawyer didn’t elaborate on the reason he wanted to step down but noted the decision came after speaking with Combs’ lead counsel Marc Agnifilo.

Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty to charges he forced women into drugged-up sex shows.

His lawyers didn’t immediately return requests for comment Friday morning.
