Houston, Texas – A lawyer representing dozens of individuals has brought forward troubling allegations of sexual assault against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Attorney Tony Buzbee stated that he is preparing to file lawsuits on behalf of 120 people in New York and Los Angeles, with the victims consisting of 60 males and 60 females. Shockingly, 25 of these individuals were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct, with one victim claiming to have been only nine years old at the time of the assault.
“These acts of sexual assault, abuse, and exploitation should not be tolerated in the United States or anywhere else,” said Buzbee during a press conference. “The individuals affected by this conduct are left injured, frightened, and scarred, and this should never have been allowed to go on for so long.”
The allegations against Combs have led to his arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, further marred by claims made by more than 3,280 individuals regarding various forms of assault by the music executive. Following a thorough vetting process, Buzbee’s firm chose to represent 120 of these victims, with additional cases still under review. In fact, some clients have even spoken to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about their experiences.
The victims represented by Buzbee’s firm hail from over 25 states, with the majority coming from California, New York, Georgia, and Florida. The abuse allegedly occurred at parties held in multiple states, where drinks laced with drugs were provided to unsuspecting victims, as well as at auditions where aspiring individuals were coerced into compromising situations in exchange for promises of stardom.
Despite fierce denials of the allegations by Combs and his legal team, including lawyer Erica Wolff, the accusations have shed light on a dark reality in the entertainment industry. Buzbee has likened the breaking of this “wall of silence” to the uncovering of long-hidden truths that will hopefully bring justice to the victims.
These revelations have caused significant shockwaves, especially within the realm of hip-hop where Combs is a prominent figure. As the legal battle unfolds, more suspects, beyond Combs, are expected to be named, with Buzbee hinting at uncovering the involvement of other individuals who may have been complicit in allowing such behavior to persist unchecked.
