More than 100 accusers set to sue Diddy for sexual assault: ‘Unprecedented in scope’

There are more. Many more.

A team of lawyers announced Tuesday at a Houston press conference that it would be filing a staggering 120 sexual assault lawsuits against Sean “Diddy” Combs in the next 30 days.

The cases span a 20-year period starting in the 2000s.

“The biggest secret in the entertainment industry, that really wasn’t a secret at all, has finally been revealed to the world,” said Tony Buzbee, one of the lead attorneys, according to the Washington Post. “The wall of silence has now been broken.”

Andrew Van Arsdale, one of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, called the upcoming filings “unprecedented in scope.”

The accusers are said to be 60 males and 60 females, with 25 being minors at the time of the alleged incidents. One alleged victim is said to have been only 9 years old.

The individual lawsuits will be filed in Miami and Los Angeles, where Combs owns homes that were raided back in March as part of a sex trafficking probe, as well as in the rapper’s native New York.

Last month, the music mogul was indicted and charged with sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering.

The 54-year-old father of seven is being held without bail at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, pending a trial.

Combs’ serious legal troubles began in November 2023 when his ex Cassie Ventura filed a suit accusing him of years of abuse. Though that case was settled within 24 hours, multiple people from his past came forward claiming stories of shocking misconduct.

“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,” his attorney Erica Wolff told TMZ, regarding the latest avalanche of suits. “That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
