It appears as if Sean "Diddy" Combs has reached out to the man he was accused of punching early Saturday at a Manhattan club, while TMZ.com claims new court documents prove that the mogul was ordered to submit photos of the rings he wore during another alleged assault, despite published reports to the contrary.
In the Manhattan incident, Steven Acevedo told police he was punched in the face by Diddy at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday following an argument inside Kiosk nightclub in Soho. According to the Associated Press, investigators are in the midst of tracking down more witnesses before seeking to question Diddy.
TMZ.com is reporting that Diddy and Acevedo – friends for over 13 years – met quietly Monday night at Butter nightclub to try and settle their differences. Both parties exited the club minutes apart, but neither would speak publicly about what was discussed.
Diddy's lawyer Benjamin Brafman said his client was not going to turn himself in to authorities Tuesday as expected.
"[Diddy] is not going to be arrested today," Brafman said in a statement. "We are hopeful that this matter will be resolved without the filing of any criminal charges as this was a disagreement among acquaintances, not a criminal assault."
Meanwhile, TMZ says it has obtained a minute order in another case accusing Diddy of assault that proves a judge ordered him Friday to submit photographs of the rings he was wearing on the night in question.
It had been reported earlier that the judge dismissed the photo request submitted by lawyers for alleged victim Gerald Rechnitzer, who claimed Diddy assaulted him following an Oscar party in Hollywood.
According to TMZ, the order read: "Lest there be any misapprehension on the part of counsel, the court understood the parties to say at the hearing that defendant had agreed to provide photos of the rings defendant was wearing."
