Friday, October 04, 2024 - The list of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' accomplices includes prominent executives and bankers, according to a lawyer representing alleged victims of the music mogul.
Multiple lawsuits by 120 accusers will mention
'household names' as well as companies and individuals who were aware of and
profited from Diddy's alleged crimes, attorney Tony Buzbee said in a recent
press conference.
The legal filings seek to go after the banks, pharmaceutical
companies, and hotels that allegedly aided the mogul.
'We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind
closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence
implicates,' Buzbee said in a press conference in Houston.
Buzbee added: 'The day will come when we will name names
other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names. It’s a long list already,...
The names will shock you'
Buzbee's co-counsel said the law would go after 'any venue
or venue owner who was aware of what was going on.'
The lawyers stated they plan to file lawsuits in several
states over the next 30 days and pledged to reveal the names at a later date.
Buzbee confirmed that half the plaintiffs are male and that
most of the alleged assaults took place in New York, California, Georgia, and
Florida.
The complaints date back to 1991 with the youngest alleged
victim just nine years old, although 25 accusers say they were minors at the
time.
Many of the claims relate to Combs' infamous annual White
Parties, as well as hotels and often allegedly involved drugs.
The alleged new victims had previously told law enforcement
that they had been abused, including some who cooperated with the FBI.
Many have medical records that prove they had been raped or
drugged, Buzbee added.
'Drugs were found in their system-- weird drugs, drugs that
you probably never heard of,' the lawyer explained.
'One in particular that continues to pop up is a drug called
Xylazine, or tranq, which based on our research is known as a horse
tranquilizer.'
The lawsuit is the latest among almost a dozen to be
levelled at the disgraced music mogul which accuses him of sexual and physical
abuse.
It comes after the rapper, 54, was federally indicted on
racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
Combs has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to
the criminal allegations.
As Mr Combs' legal team has emphasized, he cannot address
every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,' Erica
Wolff, an attorney representing Combs, told Page Six.
'That 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.'
Combs is currently being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan
Detention Center pending trial after two of his bail requests were rejected.
Prosecutors say, Combs, 'abused, threatened and coerced
women and others around him to fulfil his sexual desires, protect his
reputation and conceal his conduct'.
He is accused of orchestrating and forcing men and women to
perform in drug-fueled orgies dubbed 'Freak Offs.
According to the indictment, investigators discovered a
tranche of narcotics and weapons along with 1,000 bottles of baby oil and
lubricant following raids on Combs' Miami and Los Angeles homes.
