The entertainment world was stunned Tuesday as attorney Tony Buzbee announced that over 120 individuals have come forward with accusations of sexual abuse against Sean "Diddy" Combs, the renowned music mogul and founder of Bad Boy Records. In a press conference held in Houston, Buzbee revealed shocking details of alleged misconduct spanning more than three decades, from 1991 to as recently as 2024.

Buzbee, representing 50 of the alleged victims, described the situation as "the biggest secret in the entertainment industry that really wasn't a secret at all" finally coming to light. The attorney's firm has reportedly been contacted by over 3,285 individuals claiming to have been victimized by Combs, with 120 cases deemed credible enough to pursue civil claims after vetting.

Perhaps most disturbing among the allegations are those involving minors. Buzbee stated that 25 of the 120 victims were underage at the time of the alleged incidents, with the youngest being just 9 years old. "This individual, who was 9 years old at the time, was taken to an audition in New York City with Bad Boy Records," Buzbee explained. "This individual was sexually abused allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio in the promise to both his parents and to him himself of getting a record deal."

The attorney also recounted the story of a 15-year-old victim who was allegedly flown to New York City to attend a party, where she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs and others. These incidents, according to Buzbee, often occurred at parties and auditions, with many young people "coerced into this type of conduct in the promise of being made a star or the promise of having Sean Combs listen to their tape."

The scope of the allegations is vast, with incidents reportedly taking place primarily in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. Buzbee noted that more than 55% of the victims had filed reports with police or sought treatment at hospitals. In some cases, medical examinations revealed the presence of drugs in victims' systems, including tranquilizers and ketamine.

One 22-year-old female victim described the typical modus operandi at Combs' infamous "freak off" parties, where attendees were allegedly handed spiked drinks and faced expulsion if they refused to consume them.

The legal team representing Combs has vehemently denied these allegations. In a statement to TMZ, attorney Erica Wolff said, "Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation."

Buzbee emphasized that these cases will be filed individually, not as a class action lawsuit. He expects to begin filing suits against Combs and other alleged perpetrators within the next 30 days. The attorney also stated that some victims have already spoken with the FBI regarding their ongoing investigation into the matter.

The allegations against Combs come at a time of increased scrutiny of powerful figures in the entertainment industry. The sheer number of accusers and the severity of the claims have sent shockwaves through the music world, potentially reshaping the legacy of one of hip-hop's most influential figures.

As the situation continues to unfold, many are calling for a thorough investigation into the practices within the music industry that may have enabled such alleged behavior. The case also highlights the importance of creating safe environments for aspiring artists, particularly minors, who are often vulnerable to exploitation.

The coming weeks are likely to see further developments as more details emerge and legal proceedings begin. The impact of these allegations on Combs' career and the broader music industry remains to be seen, but it is clear that this case has the potential to be a watershed moment in addressing issues of abuse and exploitation in entertainment.
