The Devil Wears Sean Jean


Diddy is being sued by one of his former employees who claims Puff got rid of her once she got old and became disabled.

From TMZ
Francesca Spero just filed a lawsuit in federal court in NY -- in which she describes herself as a "51-year-old white woman" who served as a high ranking exec for Diddy since 1998.

In the docs, Spero claims she and Diddy -- aka Sean Combs -- butted heads after she informed him that she needed major hip surgery in 2008 ... and then later "suffered a relapse" to an addiction to prescription medication and alcohol.

According to the docs, Spero claims Diddy was "unsympathetic to her condition" -- and ultimately tried to freeze her out of the company.

Spero says she continued to do her work -- signing new artists -- but was eventually fired in March

2010 ... and replaced by a woman 10-15 years younger who "lacked the skill set and experience Spero brought to the position."

Spero now claims Diddy -- along with his publishing and management companies -- owe her $12 mil in damages for age and disability discrimination.
