 P Diddy
The story, which ran March 17, implied that P. Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, knew about plans to assault Tupac Shakur.
The LA Times has since issued an apology, after it emerged that the documents the implications were based on were doctored, as previously reported.
In response, Combs' attorney Howard Weitzman issued a statement today (March 27) saying the "apology is, at best, a first step, but it doesn't undo the false and defamatory nature of the story, or the suspicion and innuendo that Mr. Combs has had to endure due to these untruthful allegations and the irresponsible conduct of this particular reporter."
The lawyer for Jimmy Rosemond, chief executive officer of Czar Entertainment who was also was linked to the attack by the LA Times, issued a statement saying, "their apology does not go far enough," reports Reuters.
