- 120 individuals file civil lawsuits against Combs
- Citing horrific abuses spanning three decades
- Mr Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim
Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee held a shocking press conference on Tuesday, revealing staggering allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Buzbee announced that he represents 120 individuals filing civil lawsuits against Combs, citing horrific abuses spanning three decades.
“I want to focus on the ages of these victims. When we talk about the ages of these victims when the conduct occurred, it’s shocking,” Buzbee stated, highlighting the youngest alleged victim, a 9-year-old.
According to Buzbee, this individual was taken to a Bad Boy Records audition in New York City, where they were allegedly sexually assaulted by Combs and others. “This individual was promised, ‘I’ll make you a star,'” Buzbee said.
Buzbee shared additional disturbing accounts, including an instance where Combs allegedly forced a 15-year-old to perform oral sex in exchange for a record deal. Another victim, also 15, was allegedly drugged, raped, and subjected to further abuse.
The attorney emphasized that the 120 accusers are evenly divided between males and females. “We will expose the enablers behind closed doors who enabled this conduct. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates.”
Buzbee claimed to have collected evidence, including pictures, videos, and texts. He warned that “many powerful people” and “many dirty secrets” will soon be exposed, stressing that some names involved “will shock” the public.
The allegations include violent sexual assault, rape, facilitated sex with controlled substances, dissemination of video recordings, and sexual abuse of minors, dating back to 1991. Buzbee plans to file lawsuits in Texas, California, Georgia, Florida, and New York within 30 days.
“As Mr Combs’ legal team has emphasised, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,” they said.
“That said, Mr Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
Combs, 54, is currently jailed in Brooklyn, NY, after being arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution two weeks ago. The “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper pleaded not guilty but was denied bail.
