Diddy Issues Furious Statement After 120 More Victims Accuse Him: “Reckless Media Circus”
While Sean “Diddy” Combs languishes in jail, his legal team issued a statement on his behalf after 120 accusers came forward with sexual misconduct allegations against him.
In a press conference this week, high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee said his law firm was contacted by more than 3,280 individuals, saying they were victims of abuse at the hands of the now-jailed music mogul.
Out of all the accusers, the firm decided to represent 120 alleged victims, 60 males and 60 females, who have brought forward accusations from 1991 onward.

The Houston attorney told reporters that 25 of his 120 new clients were minors at the time of the alleged misconduct, and one was apparently 9 years old during the abuse.
“This type of sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation should never happen in the United States or anywhere else. This should have never been allowed to go on for so long. This conduct has created a mass of individuals who are injured, scared and scarred,” Tony said.

In some incidents, the misconduct allegedly took place during auditions.
“Many times, especially young people, people wanting to break into the industry were coerced into this type of conduct in the promise of being made a star,” Tony said.
He also said most of the alleged victims he is representing are from California, New York, Georgia and Florida.

The accused Grammy winner, who is currently locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, issued a response to the news of 120 people accusing him of sexual misconduct.
“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,” his lawyer, Erica Wolff, said in a statement to media outlets.
The attorney said the Last Night rapper looks forward to “proving his innocence and vindicating himself” in court.
“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” said the attorney representing the rap mogul

“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” she continued. “He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
The 54-year-old rapper is currently facing federal charges and pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
