Attorney For New Diddy Accusers Reveals How Many People Called Hotline In 24-Hour Period
Every time Diddy’s current ordeal seems to be worsening, new information emerges. The attorney representing 120 new accusers has revealed how many people called a hotline specifically set up for the Bad Boy founder’s sex crime victims within 24 hours.
Tony Buzbee, the Houston-based attorney who dropped a bombshell in this case last week, was interviewed by the popular Law & Crime Network where go-to reporter Meghann Cuniff works. “When I made an announcement that I was going to pursue these cases, the floodgates really opened,” he said last Wednesday (Oct. 2). “In about a 10-day period, we got about 3,200 calls. And then from the press conference we had (Oct. 1), we’ve had 12,000 calls.”
These 12,000 calls follow him revealing 120 new accusations, from both men and women, whom he planned to represent in court against the controversial mogul. One accusation involved a nine-year-old boy who was allegedly sexually assaulted by the former REVOLT chairman and his associates after being invited to New York City to audition for a record deal.
“Other boys were there to audition as well,” Tony Buzbee previously claimed. “All of them were trying to land a record deal. All of them were minors. This individual [the 9-year-old] was sexually abused, allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio with the promise to both his parents and himself of getting a record deal.”
Buzbee has some experience in cases like these, as he previously represented a number of the women who accused Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson of sexual misconduct. Watson was suspended for 11 games during the 2022-2023 NFL season and fined $5 million.
Diddy’s world was officially turned upside down in the middle of September when he was arrested for racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. This was the latest chapter in a nearly yearlong saga which included the first lawsuit filed by Cassie in November 2023, more victims coming forward afterward, his homes being raided by Homeland Security, footage of him assaulting Cassie coming out, and now 120 more accusers stepping up while he is behind bars. Despite the overwhelming evidence against him, Puff maintains his innocence and has pleaded not guilty.
Diddy may not be the only person to take the fall. One of his accuser’s attorneys recently revealed that there is a porn tape circulating that includes a celebrity of a “higher profile” who seemingly did not know they were being recorded.
“There already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood being shopped around,” Ariel Mitchell-Kidd said on NewsNation’s Banfield. “But one particular person contacted me to shop a particular video they were in possession of and to contact the person who was in the video to see if they were interested in purchasing the video before it became public knowledge.”
