“High Profile Individual” Tied To Diddy Files Lawsuit Against Tony Buzbee For Alleged Extortion

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

At the end of last week, a report surrounding Tony Buzbee was making some noise. For those who aren’t familiar, he’s the lawyer representing over 120 alleged victims of Diddy’s. He was essentially issuing a major warning for other celebrities who had any sort of connection to music mogul. Particularly, those in relation to the alleged “Freak Offs” who did nothing to stop the alleged acts of sexual assault and more he feels should be held just as accountable as Diddy. This information arose following the release of the Tubi documentary The Downfall Of Diddy: Inside The Freak-Offs.

Buzbee claimed in it that he already sent out demand letters asking for large sum of money. However, if they don’t comply with those demands, hefty lawsuits could be coming. Well, TMZ reports a “high profile individual” is filing a lawsuit against Tony Buzbee for this alleged extortion. This person claims they were close with Diddy and attended many functions with him. The Jane Doe alleges Buzbee is “shamelessly attempting to extort exorbitant sums from him.” Overall, the lawsuit contains “wildly false horrific allegations,” Doe says.

Specifically, they are “entirely fabricated and malicious allegations of sexual assault.” The docs go on, “including multiple incidents of rape of a minor, both male and female.” Furthermore, the documents allege these acts occurred at Diddy’s parties. This will be an interesting side story, as the Houston lawyer’s future in this case against the Bad Boy Records founder could be bleak.

The lawsuit against Tony Buzbee was filed by the Jane Doe himself this morning to the L.A. County Superior Court. Quinn Emanuel will be the “high profile individual’s” representation. It’s one the most highly regarded law firms in the United States. Diddy’s future doesn’t look great either, but with Buzbee potentially running into some serious trouble, a decent chunk of allegations could be tossed.

Diddy has dealt with no shortage of legal drama in recent months, and now, he’s been hit with yet another lawsuit. According to legal documents obtained by AllHipHop, he’s being sued over an alleged 1996 confrontation. DeWitt Gilmore accuses the Bad Boy founder and others of attacking him in New York. He’s seeking $5 million in damages.

In his lawsuit, Gilmore alleges that after leaving a club with friends, Diddy and his crew pulled up in a convertible and began taunting him. He accuses Diddy of using “derogatory language” and “escalating the situation with threats of violence.” Allegedly, Diddy’s associates proceeded to surround Gilmore’s vehicle and fired off shots. Eventually, Gilmore was able to escape, but not before an alleged car chase.

“The encounter rapidly intensified as Defendant Combs’ bodyguard and additional vehicles carrying armed associates joined to form an entourage, surrounding Plaintiff’s vehicle,” the lawsuit alleges. “Defendant Combs and his associates blocked Plaintiff’s car, creating a sense of immediate danger. Defendant Combs’ associates brandished firearms and shots were fired. Fearing for his life, Plaintiff Gilmore, with Lance Calfe and Rico as witnesses, were aggressively chased through the dark city streets and managed to evade the scene by accelerating through traffic, narrowly escaping a potentially deadly ambush.”

According to Gilmore, he didn’t press charges against Diddy immediately after the alleged incident out of fear of retribution. He later reconnected with Lance Calfe, one of the friends he was with the night of the alleged car chase. Gilmore claims this “brought forth new insight and testimonial evidence surrounding the events of that night.” What do you think of Diddy being hit with a new lawsuit for an alleged car chase earlier this week?

The boy performed a few songs for him and after he was done, Diddy allegedly told the Jane Doe he could “make him a star.” Later in the documents, “Combs asked Plaintiff how badly he wanted to be a star, and what Plaintiff would do to get to be one. Plaintiff responded, as might any ten-year-old child, that he would ‘do anything.” Allegedly, after the boy said this, Diddy then handed him a soda and after drinking it he claimed that he felt “a little funny.” “After Plaintiff consumed his soda and began feeling its effects, Combs told Plaintiff to move closer to him, which Plaintiff did. Combs then abruptly pushed Plaintiff down and said words to the effect of ‘you have to do some stuff you don’t want to do sometimes.’” That is when the alleged assaulting took place.
