Send Push

Tony Buzbee, a Houston-based attorney, announced Tuesday that he represents 120 individuals with sexual misconduct allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs. The well-known hip-hop entrepreneur is on trial right now for sex trafficking. In the upcoming month, Buzbee intends to file cases, mostly in Los Angeles and New York. There are 60 men and 60 women among the accusers; 25 of them were recognized as minors at the time of the said events. One person says he was assaulted when he was just nine years old. The claims include the years 1991 to the current one.Buzbee condemned the alleged actions during a news conference, stating, “This type of sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation should never happen in the United States or anywhere else.” He was concerned about the length of time that this behavior had continued. Regarding the effects of these measures, the lawyer said that many people were left "injured, scared, and scarred." Combs' legal representative refuted these claims as "meritless" and attacked how the media covered the story. Combs "categorically denies any claims of sexual abuse," according to Erica Wolff. She underlined that the performer is keen to demonstrate his innocence in court and that facts, not conjecture, will determine the truth. More than 3,280 people contacted Buzbee's company, claiming that Combs had victimized them. The business selected 120 clients to represent them after thorough screening. We're still reviewing other cases. According to Buzbee, several consumers have communicated their claims to the FBI. More than 25 states have accusations against them, with a sizable portion coming from Florida, Georgia, New York, and California. According to Buzbee, the majority of the claimed abuse happened at gatherings in Florida, California, and New York. It was stated that drug-laced cocktails were served to attendees. Allegations have been made about coercion during auditions. It is said that young people aspiring to enter the profession were coerced into undesirable behavior under the pretense of chances to become celebrities.Since September 17, Combs, 54, has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He entered a not guilty plea to federal charges alleging that he used his "power and prestige" to lure female victims into drugged, or "Freak Off," sexual acts. Combs is the target of more allegations, since lawsuits alleging sexual assault have already been brought against him by other victims. He has pleaded not guilty to accusations of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His defense team will strongly contest these charges and defend his innocence.Combs has three Grammy awards under his belt, making him well-known in the music business. Renowned musicians including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans, and 112. have all worked with him. Combs started the apparel brand Sean John and Bad Boy Records in 1993. In addition, he founded the Revolt TV network and a vodka brand, which he sold in June of this year. Buzbee has an impressive background of defending clients in well-known instances involving sexual misbehavior, such as those involving NFL player Deshaun Watson. The legal and public scrutiny on Combs and Buzbee is getting more intense as more information comes to light.
