A woman by the name of Francesca Spero claims that rapper/actor Sean “Diddy” Combs fired her based on age discrimination and she’s not taking it lying down. The fifty-one-year old filed an age discrimination lawsuit Wednesday in Manhattan. Spero had been working as an executive for Bad Boy Entertainment for 12 years and claims to have helped launch his career.

The lawsuit says that Spero introduced Combs to hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and Uptown Records shortly after meeting him in 1988. The lawsuit also claims that Spero was fired after having hip surgery and relapsing after being treated for a drug dependency.

I’m not really sure how far this will go because of the whole relapse thing. Being under the influence in the workplace is not a good look  and I’m thinking that may help Diddy get out of this one. On the other hand some could argue that suspension might have been a better resolution. However, if she provides enough evidence that she was discriminated against…Diddy may end up shelling out a lot of cash. The details are still a little fuzzy at this point but  I will definitely continue to follow this as it unfolds.
