In a shocking development, rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing a wave of new abuse allegations, with 120 additional victims coming forward.
According to a Daily Mail Online report, these allegations span a 25-year period and include claims of sexual abuse against minors, with the youngest alleged victim being just nine years old.
Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee announced that he is representing these 120 new victims, all of whom he believes have legitimate cases against the rapper-turned-media mogul. The allegations range from sexual abuse to drugging, with some victims claiming they were given drinks spiked with a horse tranquilizer known as Xylazine or "tranq."
Among the most disturbing allegations are those involving underage victims. Buzbee revealed that 25 of the 120 new victims were minors when the alleged abuse occurred, with the youngest being 9, 14, and 15 years old at the time of the incidents.
One particularly alarming claim involves a 9-year-old boy who was allegedly taken to an audition in New York City with Bad Boy Records, the label founded by Combs in 1993. According to Buzbee, the child was sexually abused by Combs and others at the studio under the false promise of a record deal.
Another case involves a 15-year-old who was allegedly flown to New York City for a party, drugged, and then raped by multiple individuals, including Combs.
Buzbee stated that much of the alleged abuse took place at Combs' parties, including his infamous "White Party" events. He described a common scenario where party attendees were handed drinks laced with drugs, and those who refused to consume them were kicked out.
One victim, who was 22 years old at the time, reported that this was a typical "MO" at these parties. Another disturbing case involves a pregnant woman who claims she was raped after attending a group dinner with Combs in Miami.
Tony Buzbee said:
She wasn't drinking because she was pregnant, but whatever she drank at the table, apparently was laced with something. She blacked out, and she woke up in the same bed, again allegedly with Mr. Combs in his mansion in Miami.
Combs' legal team has vehemently denied these new allegations. His lawyer, Erica Wolff, stated that Mr. Combs categorically denies any claims of sexual abuse, including those involving minors.
Buzbee has indicated that many of the cases will be filed under pseudonyms to protect the victims' identities. The majority of these cases are expected to be filed in courts in New York City and Los Angeles.
The attorney also revealed that many of the new accusers had previously reported their abuse to law enforcement, including some who had cooperated with the FBI. He added that many victims have medical records proving they had been raped or drugged.
In conclusion, these new allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs have sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. With 120 additional victims coming forward, including claims of abuse against minors and allegations of drugging party attendees, the legal battle ahead is likely to be complex and far-reaching. As the investigation continues, more details may emerge, potentially reshaping the public's perception of the hip-hop mogul.
