Sean Diddy Combs hit with 120 new sexual assault allegations.
American rapper and record executive, Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing new allegations of sexual assault, with over 120 individuals preparing to file lawsuits against him. At a press conference on Tuesday, attorney Tony Buzbee announced that his firm is representing 60 males and 60 females, with accusations spanning more than two decades. Shockingly, 25 of the alleged victims were minors at the time of the incidents, with one claiming he was just nine years old. The alleged assaults reportedly took place at events such as album release parties and Combs’ well-known ‘White Parties.’ Buzbee revealed that around 3,000 individuals initially reached out with claims, but after investigation, 120 were selected for representation. Combs’ lawyer, Erica Wolff, strongly denied the accusations, calling them false and defamatory, stating the performer refuses to address every “meritless” claim.
