Attorney Tony Buzbee, who is overseeing 120 complaints against the embattled mogul, said Diddy’s upcoming wave of lawsuits will cause a “storm” as other celebrities are implicated in his alleged crimes. ”.
Speaking to TMZ, Buzbee said: “Everyone is looking at the involvement of other celebrities, who’s going to be named, who’s going to be exposed. I don’t expect that to happen this week.
“We want to make sure that if we name someone other than Mr. Coombs, [Diddy] We’ve done our homework because it’s going to stir up a storm.
He added: “If you go to one of these parties, if you like, and you’ve been to it before or you know what happens – that is, you know that a specific drug is used in the drink, causing people to be coerced And being taken advantage of – you were in the room, or you participated, or you watched it happen and didn’t say anything, or you helped cover it up, in my opinion, there’s something wrong with you.
“Who will be named, and when – all of this will be announced in due course. But the point is: a lot of people attended these gatherings, a lot of people saw this event going on, a lot of people allowed it to go on, and nothing Not saying anything, not interfering, maybe benefiting from it, profiting from it.
“It seems to me that all of these individuals and entities are exposed here.
When asked if these celebrities had the same fame as Diddy, Buzbee responded: “I hope so, yeah.”
The Texas attorney also revealed that he tried to reach secret settlements with some celebrities before filing a public lawsuit.
Buzbee represents 120 different clients who claim to be victims of Diddy, 25 of whom were minors at the time of the incidents.
The charges include “violent sexual assault or rape, use of a controlled substance to facilitate sexual conduct, distribution of video recordings” [and] Minors were sexually abused,” he said at a news conference last month.
The youngest victim, who was allegedly nine at the time, claimed to have been sexually abused by Diddy during an audition for Bad Boy Records.
Buzbee said most of the cases had a “typical modus operandi”: the alleged victim was invited to a party and forced to drink.
Lawyers claimed the drink was drugged and the complainant would be sexually assaulted and “passed” to partygoers while others “enjoyed the show”.
He claimed that the victim was threatened afterwards to keep him or her quiet.
A large number of lawsuits are expected to be filed in the coming weeks.
In response to the accusations, Diddy’s attorney Erica Wolf issued a statement saying: “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot resolve every detail in a reckless media circus. Baseless accusations.
“That said, Mr. Combs categorically denies any suggestion that he sexually abused anyone, including minors, as false and defamatory.”
“He looks forward to proving his innocence and defending himself in court, where the truth will be determined based on evidence rather than speculation.”
In addition to the mounting lawsuits, Diddy is awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges after being arrested in New York last month.
