120 More Victims Accuse Diddy of Sexual Abuse
Sean “Diddy” Combs, the once-renowned music mogul, has issued a denial from jail after 120 new individuals came forward with accusations of sexual abuse against him. The wave of allegations spans over 25 years, with victims claiming to have suffered abuse as minors at the hands of Combs. The accusations, which involve both men and women, have shaken the entertainment industry and brought renewed scrutiny to the dark side of power and influence in music.
In a statement issued through his attorney, Diddy categorically denied the accusations. His lawyer stated, “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.”
Diddy, who is currently held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, is facing federal charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. He pleaded not guilty on September 17, and his legal team continues to assert his innocence in the face of what they describe as a “reckless media circus.”
Wave of New Allegations
The allegations against Diddy have reached staggering numbers. According to Houston attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing 120 of the alleged victims, lawsuits will soon be filed in courts across New York and Los Angeles. These lawsuits are expected to detail a range of sexual abuse incidents that reportedly span from 1991 to this year. Buzbee revealed that out of the 120 victims, 60 are men and 60 are women, with 25 of them being minors at the time of the alleged assaults.
Some of the most shocking allegations come from individuals who were as young as 9 years old when the abuse is said to have occurred. Buzbee, in a press conference, expressed outrage at the magnitude and duration of the alleged abuse. “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,” he stated.
Buzbee’s law firm reportedly received contact from over 3,280 individuals claiming to have been victimized by Diddy. After thoroughly vetting these claims, his firm decided to represent 120 individuals, while other cases are still under review. Some victims have reportedly spoken with the FBI as the investigation deepens.
Parties, Drugs, and Promises of Fame
A large portion of the abuse allegations revolve around parties that took place in New York, California, and Florida. At these events, victims claim they were coerced into sexual acts after being given drinks laced with drugs. Many of the alleged victims were aspiring entertainers, drawn into Diddy’s circle with promises of stardom. Buzbee emphasized the vulnerability of these young individuals, many of whom attended auditions that later turned into predatory situations.
“Many times, especially young people wanting to break into the industry were coerced into this type of conduct with the promise of being made a star,” Buzbee explained. The allegations paint a disturbing picture of an industry where influence and opportunity were allegedly weaponized to exploit the vulnerable.
Combs’ Response
Despite the severity of the charges against him, Diddy maintains his innocence and denies any involvement in such criminal activities. His legal team continues to argue that the claims are baseless and designed to tarnish his reputation. His attorney made it clear that Diddy plans to fight these accusations and prove his innocence in court, where he believes the truth will prevail.
Diddy’s alleged involvement in events known as “Freak Offs” has also drawn significant attention. These were elaborate, drug-fueled parties where victims allege they were forced to participate in sexual performances with male sex workers. These claims, along with the mounting accusations of racketeering and sex trafficking, have left many wondering if the music mogul will ever recover from the storm of legal trouble that has engulfed him.
As more victims come forward, the public awaits the upcoming lawsuits, which are expected to provide further details on these decades-long allegations. The case is shaping up to be one of the largest sexual misconduct scandals in entertainment history, and it will likely continue to unfold in the coming months.
