According to the plaintiff's sworn affidavit, filed in support of his motion for summary judgment, Diallo told him at one point that she was gravely ill. The affidavit does not describe a specific diagnosis being disclosed to him; it states that the claim of illness was the stated reason he continued providing financial support.
Where the money went
Court filings show that $8,748 was charged to the plaintiff's American Express card — on which Diallo was listed as an authorized user — for plastic surgery, which the filings describe as including a Brazilian butt lift, along with new dental implants. These charges are documented in the plaintiff's Exhibit 16, described in his filings as a copy of the plastic surgery invoice, and Exhibit 12, his American Express statement.
What the record shows
The plaintiff's filings present the sequence — a claim of grave illness, followed by spending on elective cosmetic procedures rather than documented treatment for any disclosed condition — as evidence that the illness claim was fabricated to obtain money and access to his credit card. As with the other episodes on this site, this account comes from the plaintiff's affidavit and supporting exhibits; it was not independently tested at a contested trial, for the procedural reasons described in the main article.
