Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs faces sexual abuse lawsuit
Hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is embroiled in a massive new lawsuit, facing allegations from over 120 individuals accusing him of sexual assault, rape, and sexual exploitation. The shocking lawsuit includes claims from victims as young as nine, with some alleging they were abused at high-profile events, including Combs’ infamous ‘White Parties,’ New Year’s Eve celebrations, and album release gatherings.

Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing the victims, announced the lawsuit during a press conference, revealing that the case has attracted overwhelming attention. According to Buzbee, over 3,000 individuals reached out to his firm seeking representation against the rapper, with his team narrowing down the claims to 120 after thorough investigation. The victims include minors, with one particularly harrowing account from a 15-year-old girl who claims she was drugged and raped at a New York City party.
“All of these individuals were promised opportunities in the entertainment industry, with hopes of launching careers in music or television,” Buzbee explained. “But instead, they were subjected to horrific abuse that has left them scarred, many no longer wanting anything to do with the industry.”
The allegations span years, with many incidents allegedly occurring at star-studded events associated with Diddy’s rise to prominence in the music industry. Buzbee emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, “The youngest victim was just nine years old when the abuse occurred. We have cases involving victims who were 14 and 15 at the time as well. This is beyond shocking.”
The lawsuit adds to an already turbulent legal situation for Combs, who is currently awaiting trial for separate charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and sexual abuse. He was arrested on September 17, 2024, at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan by Homeland Security Investigations. The arrest followed an intensive investigation into allegations of organized sexual misconduct tied to the rapper’s business operations.
Erica Wolff, an attorney representing Combs, vehemently denied the accusations. In a statement released after the press conference, she described the claims as “false and defamatory,” insisting that Combs “emphatically and categorically” rejects any wrongdoing. Wolff added that the lawsuit is an attempt to exploit Combs’ fame, stating, “These baseless allegations are part of a coordinated effort to tarnish Mr. Combs’ reputation.”
However, the growing number of alleged victims and the severity of the accusations have put Combs under immense legal scrutiny. The lawsuit paints a disturbing picture of an environment where young individuals seeking fame were allegedly lured into situations where they were exploited and abused.
The lawsuit is expected to attract widespread media attention, given the high-profile nature of the accusations and the sheer number of individuals involved. Buzbee said that his firm is committed to seeking justice for all the victims and ensuring their voices are heard.
“This is not just about one person or one incident,” Buzbee emphasized. “This is about a pattern of abuse and exploitation that has gone on for far too long. We will not rest until these survivors get the justice they deserve.”
As the legal battle unfolds, it remains to be seen how these new allegations will impact Combs’ career and public standing. For now, the music mogul faces mounting pressure as more victims come forward, threatening to unravel a legacy built over decades in the entertainment industry.
