Sean “Diddy” Combs may soon be facing new allegations from over 100 men and women who’ve obtained legal representation and plan to file civil suits against the embattled media mogul in the coming weeks, according to Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee. Buzbee said during a press conference on Tuesday his firm, The Buzbee Law firm along with the AVA Law Group, have been retained by at least 120 individuals “to pursue cases in civil court” against Combs and who contacted them after “claiming to be victimized by” Combs and other individuals or entities. Some of the cases they intend to file, according to Buzbee, will center on allegations of violent sexual assault or rape, sexual abuse, facilitating sex with controlled subtance, false imprisonment, compelling prostitution, sexual misconduct, dissemination of video recordings and sexual abuse of minors. The musician and businessman was indicted on federal charges, including sex trafficking, earlier this month. Combs has pleaded not guilty. Buzbee said that of the 120 people who’ve retained his firm, half of them are men and half are women and that 25 of these individuals were minors at the time of alleged incidents, which they said occurred in Los Angeles, New York and Miami during parties and, at times, music industry-related auditions. “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus. That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors,” Erica Wolff, an attorney for Combs, told CNN in a statement on Tuesday.
