“Diageo has disproportionately supported and grown the DeLeón brand despite the Combs Parties’ repeated failures to live up to their own commitments and their repudiation of their bargained–for role as true equity partners,” court papers read. “That is why CWS will not prevail on the sole breach of contract claim brought here: it is contrary to every fact about the parties’ actual performance of their contractual obligations.”

It continued, “Those facts, some of which are set forth below, also show that the JV has not functioned as a true partnership because rather than prioritize and contribute meaningfully to the business, Mr. Combs has focused on one thing only: his own self–enrichment.”
