Spero filed her claim in a federal court in NY, according to TMZ,

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.” [source].

A spokesperson for Mr. Combs tells Allrealtalk.com’s source, “this is a grab for money by someone who concedes in her complaint to having had a drug relapse while on the job”.

The Future is Back at Sean John

Francesca was fired in March, in addition to being replaced by a woman 10-15 years younger. Spero says that she first met Diddy in 1988 and began working for him a decade later – during and helped him grow his company.
