“My family and I are heartbroken,” Evander wrote in a social media statement in 2019. “Words cannot express how excited we were to welcome our baby girl into the world and watch her grow.

Anna Kane Accused Diddy of Sexual Assault
Initially going by the name “Jane Doe” to protect her identity, Anna filed a lawsuit against Diddy accusing him of raping her when she was 17 years old, according to court documents obtained by TMZ in December 2024. Anna amended her lawsuit to include her legal name.
Through her attorney, Doug Wigdor, Anna said in a statement to the outlet, “I had hoped to use a pseudonym in pursuing justice for what happened to me as a teenager. Defendant’s demand that I use my name was an attempt to intimidate me, but I am not intimidated. I am prepared to proceed and hold accountable those who have harmed me.”
In her lawsuit, Anna alleged that she met Combs in New York City while she was in 11th grade. At the time of the alleged encounter, she was 17 years old. Anna claimed that Diddy and his friends supplied her with drugs and that they sexually assaulted her in a recording studio in the early 2000s.
Diddy has denied Anna’s claims.
