In a shocking development, 120 additional victims have come forward with sexual abuse allegations against rapper and media mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The claims, spanning over 25 years, include disturbing accusations from minors as young as nine, with 25 of the victims underage at the time of the alleged incidents. These new accusations were unveiled by Texas attorney Tony Buzbee, who announced during a press conference in Houston that he is representing the victims.
Buzbee revealed that one of the youngest victims, a nine-year-old boy, was taken to an audition with Bad Boy Records in New York City, where he was allegedly abused by Combs and others in exchange for promises of a record deal. "This individual was sexually abused allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio in the promise to both his parents and to him himself of getting a record deal," Buzbee stated.
Founded in 1993, Bad Boy Records helped launch the careers of artists such as Notorious B.I.G., French Montana, and Machine Gun Kelly. Many of the victims claim they were lured by the promise of fame. "Other boys were there to audition as well," Buzbee shared, adding that "all of them were minors."
The allegations also describe multiple instances where minors were reportedly abused after being isolated by Combs. "Another minor told allegedly by Sean Combs that he would make him a star, but he needed to visit with him in private about it away from his parents. Once they were in private area, allegedly Mr. Combs made the victim perform oral sex upon him," Buzbee disclosed during the press conference.
In response to these allegations, Combs’ legal team has firmly denied the claims. "Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors," his lawyer Erica Wolff said. "He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation."
Buzbee's law firm has been inundated with thousands of calls since federal prosecutors announced an indictment against Combs last week. The attorney stressed that while some claims have been weeded out as non-credible, at least 120 of the cases will be pursued. Buzbee also mentioned that many victims have medical records that corroborate their claims of being drugged or raped. One of the drugs frequently mentioned is Xylazine, or "tranq," a horse tranquilizer that has appeared in multiple victims' medical reports.
Much of the abuse is alleged to have occurred at Combs’ infamous parties, such as his annual "White Party" in the Hamptons, which regularly attracted high-profile guests. "The typical MO at one of these parties...was that when you were handed a drink, and now we know that the drink is laced with something, that if you refused to drink it, you were kicked out of the party," Buzbee detailed, recounting testimony from a victim.
In another case, a pregnant woman alleged that after attending a dinner with Combs in Miami, she blacked out and awoke in his bed with serious injuries. "She blacked out, and she woke up in the same bed, again allegedly with Mr. Combs in his mansion in Miami. Her vagina and her anus were torn and sore," Buzbee recounted.
The attorney urged other potential victims to come forward, saying, "If you're out there, and you have been victimized, you are not alone. There is a great strength in numbers." Many of the lawsuits, Buzbee noted, will be filed under pseudonyms to protect the victims, primarily in courts in New York City and Los Angeles.
As the number of accusations against Combs continues to grow, the spotlight remains on the legal battle ahead, with Buzbee vowing to bring justice to the victims who have come forward.
