'then leaves' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'very funny motown's diana cuddled by ladies' is the wordplay.
'very funny' becomes 'lol' (internet acronym for laugh out loud).
'motown's diana' becomes 'ross' (I've seen this in another clue).
'cuddled by' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'ladies' becomes 'loo' ('the ladies' is a type of loo or toilet).
'ross' inserted inside 'loo' is 'lorosso'.
'lol'+'lorosso'='LOLLO ROSSO'

'perhaps' acts as a link.
