120 people are working on new sexual abuse lawsuits against Diddy, including 25 minors

Sean “Diddy” Combs may face new lawsuits from around 120 people accusing the rapper of sexual abuse and assault, including 25 minors.

Per Rolling StoneProminent Texas attorney Tony Buzbee has revealed that he is currently working with 120 people who have filed new claims against the disgraced musician and mogul.

Buzbee reportedly held a virtual press conference on Tuesday (October 1) where he announced that of the 120 alleged victims, 60 were men and 60 were women. Of those 120 people, 25 were minors at the time of the alleged abuse, with the youngest alleged victim being nine years old.

According to Buzbee, the nine-year-old alleged victim had met Diddy at his Bad Boy office in Manhattan for an audition and was “trying to land a record deal” in a competition that also included “other boys” than he allegedly was in had been sexually abused by Diddy and “several other people in the studio.”

Other alleged cases in which minors were allegedly sexually abused by Diddy include a 14-year-old who was allegedly told to meet the rapper “privately” without his parents, where he was allegedly forced to perform oral sex on Diddy close.

Buzbee reportedly acknowledged the statute of limitations, but said New York and California will likely recognize the “majority” of the 120 cases. The lawyer also said that all 120 alleged victims “intend to pursue civil claims in civil court” against Diddy and potential co-defendants, including alleged accomplices, silent bystanders and “corporations.”

Buzbee said he expects all 120 alleged victims to begin filing their lawsuits next month.

In a statement about it Rolling StoneDiddy’s lawyer Erica Wolff told the publication that the musician “strongly and categorically denies” the allegations. “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every unfounded allegation in what has become a ruthless media circus,” she said.

“Nevertheless, Mr. Combs strongly and categorically denies as false and defamatory any allegation that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. “He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court as lawsuits are filed and served, with the truth determined based on evidence rather than speculation,” Wolff continued.

Last month, the rap mogul was arrested in New York and charged with sex trafficking, extortion and transportation for prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Diddy was subsequently denied bail despite offering a $50 million bail, and was reportedly placed on suicide watch while awaiting trial, according to his lawyer Marc Agnifilo TMZ that the order was issued as a routine measure for “new, high-profile inmates.” According to other reports, he did not eat anything in prison for fear of being poisoned. The denial of bail meant the rapper was ordered to remain in jail while he awaited trial.

Earlier this week, Diddy’s lawyer told Agnifilo that the bail denial was being appealed. The musician promised that he would not date any women except his family members and that he would participate in weekly drug tests if released from prison.

Diddy’s next hearing is scheduled for October 9th.

Last week, additional allegations came to light in a separate lawsuit in which a woman alleged that Diddy and his bodyguard drugged her, raped her and filmed the incident in 2001 – the bodyguard has not addressed these claims. Accordingly, Diddy has denied criminal wrongdoing BBC. New information about Diddy’s alleged arson attack on Kid Cudi’s car was also recently revealed in a recently unearthed report from the City of Los Angeles Fire Department – Diddy has yet to comment on the arson allegations.

Before the wave of allegations and lawsuits against the rapper came to light last week, singer Cassie filed a lawsuit alleging that Combs raped her and subjected her to countless amounts of sexual, physical, emotional and mental abuse. Diddy denied the claims before the couple settled the lawsuit “to their mutual satisfaction” a day after it was filed.

Footage of Combs attacking Cassie was later released to the public, and Diddy apologized for his actions at the time.
