Diddy Denies Sex Abuse Claims from Jail as 120 Additional Victims Come Forward
Disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has issued a denial from jail after 120 additional individuals came forward with sexual assault allegations against him.
The alleged victims are set to file multiple lawsuits detailing allegations of s3xual assault that span over 25 years and include women and men that were underage at the time of the reported ass@ults.
In response to the accusations announced in Texas, an attorney for Combs stated that the rapper “cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”
‘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.
Houston attorney Tony Buzbee anticipates that lawsuits will be filed within the next month, primarily in New York and Los Angeles.
Buzbee described the victims as 60 males and 60 females, and that 25 were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct. One individual alleged he was 9 years old when he was abused, Buzbee said. The allegations cover a period from 1991 to this year.
‘This type of sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation should never happen in the United States or anywhere else. This should have never been allowed to go on for so long,’ Buzbee said at a news conference.
‘This conduct has created a mass of individuals who are injured, scared and scarred.’
Buzbee reported that over 3,280 individuals reached out to his firm, claiming they were victimized by Combs.
After vetting these allegations, his firm chose to represent 120 people, while other cases are still under review. He mentioned that some clients have already spoken with the FBI.
The individuals his firm represents come from more than 25 states, with the majority hailing from California, New York, Georgia, and Florida.
The alleged abuse mostly occurred at parties in New York, California, and Florida, where attendees were reportedly given drinks laced with drugs, Buzbee said.
Additionally, some incidents allegedly took place during auditions, where many young people aspiring to break into the industry were coerced into such conduct with promises of stardom, he added.
Combs, 54, has been locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since pleading not guilty on September 17 to federal charges that he used his “power and prestige” to induce female victims into drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances with male sex workers in events dubbed ‘Freak Offs.’
Other alleged victims have already filed lawsuits against Combs, including claims of sexual assault.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. His attorney stated that he is innocent and will fight to clear his name.
