Sean "Diddy" Combs, the widely recognized music magnate, is in the limelight not for his music but due to mounting legal woes. The star was hit with six new civil lawsuits for sexual abuse on Monday, with claims that paint a dark and disturbing picture of the alleged behind-the-scenes actions of an entertainment industry icon. One of the lawsuits makes the serious accusation that Combs sexually assaulted a minor.
All six lawsuits were introduced in a New York federal court by anonymous plaintiffs. They come on the heels of criminal charges against Diddy, including sex trafficking and racketeering, which were filed just a month ago. Despite the severity of the allegations, the rap mogul has consistently denied such accusations, and his legal representatives have been outspoken in his defense.
Speaking on Combs' behalf, his legal team has expressed confidence in the forthcoming legal processes. They have stated that, once presented in court, it will become clear that Diddy has not sexually assaulted anyone, regardless of age or gender.
According to the new lawsuits, Combs' alleged actions span several decades and encompass a multitude of victims, men, women, and minors. The details provided in the court documents are disturbing, including an account from one particular plaintiff—referred to as John Doe—who described an event from 1998 claiming a sexual assault occurred during a party at Combs' Hamptons residence.
Further complicating Combs' legal situation is his September arrest on three felony counts, which include conspiracy to commit racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to coerce engagement in prostitution. After the rapper proclaimed his not guilty stance on September 17, a judge later denied his bail request on October 10, and scheduled a trial for May 5, 2025.
Tony Buzbee, a Houston-based attorney, is at the forefront of these accusations, representing the 120 individuals who have come forward with claims against Combs. The Buzbee Law Firm has declared its intent to file more lawsuits against Combs in the following weeks, suggesting that this battle may continue to grow in both scope and intensity.
