Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to face a new series of sexual assault allegations, as 120 accusers prepare to file civil lawsuits against him. Attorney Tony Buzbee, representing the alleged victims, made the explosive announcement during a press conference on Tuesday, revealing that the claims include “violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with controlled substances, and sexual abuse of minors.”
Buzbee also alleged that Combs, 54, lured minors under the guise of music opportunities. One particularly disturbing case involves a now-grown man who claims he was just 9 years old when Combs and others abused him at the Bad Boy Records studio in New York City. Buzbee described the situation as one involving “many powerful people” and “many dirty secrets,” stating that his legal team possesses “pictures, videos, and texts” to support the claims.
“We will expose the enablers who allowed this conduct behind closed doors,” Buzbee vowed. “It’s a long list already, and these names will shock you.”
Combs, through his attorney Erica Wolff, has emphatically denied the allegations. “Mr. Combs categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” Wolff told TMZ. “He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
This latest scandal adds to Combs’ mounting legal troubles. Last month, the rapper was arrested at a New York hotel and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. He remains behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, with two judges denying him bail.
Recent lawsuits continue to pile on. Just last Friday, a woman filed a suit claiming Combs abused her for years and got her pregnant. Another accuser, Thalia Graves, recently alleged that the rapper raped her in his studio in 2001.
The situation worsened when an unsealed indictment last month detailed sordid “Freak Off” parties allegedly orchestrated by Combs. The 14-page document accused him of running a criminal enterprise involving sex trafficking, forced labor, and more.
While Combs continues to deny all allegations, these latest accusations suggest his legal battles are far from over.
