According to Daily Mail, at a press conference held in Texas (USA) on October 1, lawyer Tony Buzbee announced that he is representing 120 victims in a lawsuit against "music mogul" Diddy (Sean Combs) for sexual abuse and exploitation.
Buzbee revealed that of the 120 new victims, the genders were evenly split between men and women, and that 25 of the victims were minors when the sexual abuse occurred from 1991 to the present. The youngest victims were only 9, 14 and 15 years old.
“One victim, then 9 years old, was taken to an audition in New York for Bad Boy Records (a label founded by Diddy in 1993).
This victim was allegedly sexually abused by Diddy and several others at the studio, with the promise to his parents and himself that he would sign a recording contract,” Buzbee explained.
“Other boys were there for auditions,” the lawyer added. “They were all trying to get a record deal. They were all minors.”
Diddy's legal team responded to the new allegations shortly after Buzbee spoke out.
Diddy's attorney Erica Wolff told the Daily Mail: “Mr. Combs categorically and unequivocally denies any allegations of sexual abuse of anyone, including minors, which are false and defamatory.
He wants to prove his innocence and clear his name in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
However, attorney Buzbee asserted that Diddy used the promise of fame to defraud multiple children: “Another minor was promised by Diddy that he would make him a star, but he needed to meet the rapper privately to talk without his parents present. While they were in a private area, Diddy forced the victim to perform oral sex.
An individual, then 15 years old, was brought to New York to attend a party, was drugged and then taken into a private room where Diddy was present. This minor girl was raped by Diddy and others."
Since Diddy's indictment was announced and the rapper was arrested on September 17, Buzbee's law firm has received thousands of calls with new accusations targeting the rapper.
Many of the allegations were dismissed as unreliable, but among the 120 victims Buzbee chose to represent, some had medical records proving they had been raped or drugged.
Most of the alleged sexual abuse occurred at Diddy’s infamous parties, with one victim saying he was kicked out when he refused a drink that was allegedly laced with drugs.
According to Page Six, also at the press conference, attorney Tony Buzbee declared that "many powerful people" and "many dark secrets" will be exposed in the upcoming trial, including some shocking names.
His team collected “photos, videos and texts” as evidence of sexual assaults involving Diddy.
"We will expose those who enabled Diddy's horrific behavior behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter regardless of who the evidence implicates," Buzbee stressed.
