Sean "Diddy" Combs faces new allegations in a lawsuit claiming misconduct with a minor in 1998. The suit alleges broader criminal activities and substance use to exploit victims. Attorney Tony Buzbee represents multiple accusers, including former minors. Combs' legal team denies all allegations, calling them publicity-seeking.
A recent lawsuit has been filed against music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging serious misconduct. The lawsuit, brought by an individual identified only as John Doe, claims that Combs engaged in inappropriate behavior with him in 1998 when John Doe was 16 years old.
The filing alleges that Combs used his influence in the music industry to take advantage of young, aspiring artists. It describes an incident at one of Combs' well-known parties where the accuser claims he was instructed to expose himself, which he says he did out of fear and the power imbalance between them.
The lawsuit also makes broader allegations about Combs' conduct, suggesting he was involved in organized criminal activities. It claims Combs used substances to make potential victims more vulnerable.
An attorney named Tony Buzbee states he is representing up to 120 individuals with allegations against Combs, including 25 who say they were minors at the time of alleged incidents. Buzbee indicates more high-profile individuals may be named in future lawsuits.
Combs' legal team has denied all allegations, stating they are confident in their legal defenses and that the truth will emerge in court. They characterize the lawsuit and related press conferences as publicity-seeking.
