A federal judge just gave comedian Druski something to smile about. In the civil suit that made “baby oil” a courtroom buzzword, the court signaled it’s done slipping around the facts: if plaintiffs don’t drop Druski, their lawyers may get sanctioned. And in a rare legal twist befitting a comic, the punchline is an alibi—phone pings and debit swipes in Georgia, not California where the alleged assault occurred.
What this case is about
Ashley Parham alleges she was violently assaulted at a March 2018 gathering in Orinda, California, naming Sean “Diddy” Combs and others; she later amended her complaint to add Druski and NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. as defendants. Parham’s filing includes the much-reported claim that she was covered in oil and used “like a slip and slide.” Both Druski and Beckham deny involvement. Local coverage documented the Orinda allegations when the suit first surfaced. National outlets later reported on the amended complaint. KTVU FOX 2 San Francisco SFistPeople.comPage Six
