Sean Diddy Combs to Face Lawsuits From 120 Additional Accusers

Logo text A series of lawsuits from 120 accusers who’ll bring claims against Sean Combs for sexual assault and sex trafficking are expected to be filed. Tony Buzbee, a lawyer for the accusers, said on Tuesday that he represents men and women who accuse Combs of sex crimes dating back to 1991, several of whom were minors at the time of the alleged incidents. Many of them say they were raped after being drugged, he said. During a press conference announcing the lawsuits, Buzbee added that companies and individuals who were aware of and profited off of turning a blind eye to Combs’ misconduct will be named in the litigation. They could include Bad Boy Entertainment and its president Harve Pierre, Universal Music Group and Epic Records, among various others that’ve already been roped into legal actions over Combs’ alleged crimes. Some of the accusers have spoken with law enforcement leading up to and after the government bringing a three-count indictment accusing Combs, also known as “Diddy,” of sex crimes related to an alleged decades-long pattern of physical and sexual violence against people in his orbit, according to lawyers for the soon-to-be-plaintiffs. Federal prosecutors charged him with sex trafficking and racketeering for directing a vast criminal enterprise through which he assaulted and trafficked women with the help of his various business associates since at least 2008. He was also charged with transportation to engage in prostitution. More to come. THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day Subscribe Sign Up
