In a shocking development, an additional 120 individuals have come forward accusing rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of sexual abuse, including 25 underage victims, with one as young as nine years old.
Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, representing the new accusers, made the announcement during a press conference in Houston on Tuesday. He revealed that the alleged incidents took place between 1991 and this year, and involved both minors and adults.
Buzbee disclosed disturbing details about the youngest victims, including a 9-year-old boy who was allegedly sexually abused during an audition at Bad Boy Records in New York. “This individual was taken to an audition with promises of a record deal, only to be abused by Combs and others at the studio,” Buzbee stated.
Combs, who founded Bad Boy Records in 1993, has denied all allegations. His legal team, led by attorney Erica Wolff, responded to the new claims, stating, “Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies these false and defamatory accusations. He looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Buzbee also revealed that thousands of individuals have contacted his law firm with allegations following Combs’ recent federal indictment. While many cases were dismissed as non-credible, 120 new potential victims will file cases against Combs and possibly other individuals involved.
Many of the accusers, some of whom had previously reported abuse to law enforcement or cooperated with the FBI, have provided medical records and evidence that support their claims. Buzbee mentioned that some victims were drugged with substances like Xylazine, a horse tranquilizer, which has surfaced in several cases.
The alleged abuse occurred at various locations, including Combs’ notorious parties, such as his “white parties” and “puppy parties,” as well as during auditions for his record label. Victims reported being drugged at these events, with those refusing drinks allegedly being removed from the gatherings.
Buzbee encouraged other potential victims to come forward, noting that many cases would be filed under pseudonyms to protect the accusers’ identities. The majority of cases are expected to be filed in New York and Los Angeles courts. A hotline for victims was displayed during the press conference as Buzbee urged others to speak out, assuring them they were not alone.
