Has Diddy been beating up his employees?

Sean (Diddy) Combs' top choreographer - who took a star turn on the rap mogul's MTV reality show "Making the Band" - has accused him of threatening her with a chair during a heated argument that ended their partnership.

Laurie Ann Gibson filed a complaint with the NYPD claiming Diddy picked up a chair and menaced her with it during an argument over the lackluster performance of the TV show's latest group of contestants.

Sources close to Diddy denied he grabbed the chair, and they insisted the argument was part of the theatrics of the TV show and that Gibson overreacted.

Diddy's lawyer simply rejected the allegations. [ source ]

Word also has it that MTB's celebrity judge, Michael Bivins, snatched up poor Boom Kat and held her in place while Diddy attempted to bust her ass. MTV supposedly has it all on tape. This story kind of reminds me of the time my neighbor threw a rock at his son's mother in the midst of an argument outside. May he rest in peace.
