Diddy is being sued by an ex-Bad Boy executive for $12 million dollars. According to TMZ.com, Franchesca Spero filed suit in federal court in NYC, in which she described herself as a "51-year-old white woman" who served as a high-ranking exec for Diddy since 1998. She has accused the music mogul of firingher because she was "old and disabled."

In the docs, Spero has claimed that she and Diddy butted heads after she told him she needed major hip surgery in 2008 and then later "suffered a relapse" to an addiction to prescription meds and alcohol. Spero has claimed that Diddy was unsympathetic to her condition" and ultimately tried to freeze her out of the company.

Spero said that she continued to do her work, which was signing new artists, but was eventually fired in March 2010 and replaced by a woman who was 10-15 years younger than her 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.
