Lawyer Suing Diddy Threatens Other Celebrities To Pay Up Or Face A Lawsuit

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy allegations brought up other unnamed celebrities in addition to Sean Combs and his alleged sex trafficking crimes as proposed by federal prosecutors. However, there are even more famous faces allegedly tied to the civil suits against him for alleged sexual assault and other accusations. We don’t know who any of them are beyond some supposed pictures, testimonies, descriptions, and personal recollections. But attorney Tony Buzbee is coming for them all. For those unaware, he’s the lawyer representing over 120 alleged victims against the Bad Boy mogul, and he wants to target other superstars who attended his alleged “freak-off” parties.

Tony Buzbee remarked this during his appearance on TMZ‘s Tubi documentary, The Downfall Of Diddy: Inside The Freak-Offs. He claims that if celebrities witnessed alleged sexual abuse and drugging – but did not do anything to report it, prevent it, or condemn it – then they are just as liable as the alleged perpetrators of these crimes. According to the attorney, he already has more famous people in his sights, sending demand letters to some of them that urge them to cough up cash or face a huge public lawsuit that could tarnish their reputation. It sounds like some sort of preliminary settlement, but that’s just a claim.

This wasn’t the only thing that this Diddy documentary discussed when it comes to other celebrities’ alleged involvement. Ray J also alleged that various superstars reached out to him and revealed their efforts to settle with alleged victims before their case can gather any momentum. In fact, Ray’s been a big anti-Puff advocate in recent months, catching a lot of heat and attention for his statements and antics. As such, the notion that other famous friends reached out to him doesn’t come as a surprise.

Meanwhile, these civil cases against Diddy continue to develop as his federal and criminal trial is still in set-up mode, as well. For example, a woman suing him for alleged sexual assault recently revealed her identity due to a court order. It’s unclear whether this situation will affect other civil lawsuits under similar circumstances, so we’ll see if it preludes anything significant.

Diddy’s Latest Lawsuit Involves Allegedly Inspecting A 16-Year-Old Boy’s Genitals

October 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a new lawsuit with allegations of sexually assaulting a minor. The filing was brought by a John Doe working with attorney Tony Buzbee on Monday. He alleges he attended a party of Diddy’s at just 16 years old in 1998 when the Bad Boy mogul took an interest in him. John Doe alleges Diddy brought him to a more secluded area of the event after posing for a picture with him.

“Combs abruptly told John Doe that he needed to drop his pants,” the lawyers wrote in the lawsuit, as caught by AllHipHop. “John Doe, caught completely off guard, confusingly asked Combs to repeat himself. Combs made himself clear. He instructed John Doe to drop his pants and expose his penis so that Combs could inspect it, explaining it was a rite of passage and the route to becoming a star, and also as a way to prove himself. ‘Don’t you want to break into the business?’ Doe immediately felt uncomfortable, froze and did not know what to do. Combs remained calm and stood in front of him and stretched out his hand in a cupped position. Out of fear, anxiety, and the imbalanced power dynamic between himself and Combs, John Doe then dropped his pants and exposed his penis as Combs previously instructed.”

Diddy’s Family Attends His Latest Hearing

The lawsuit continued: “Combs moved closer and grabbed John Doe’s penis and genitals with his hand. He firmly cupped and held onto John Doe’s genitals for an extended period of time. During this time, Combs moved his hand in such a fashion to manipulate John Doe’s genitals, squeezing and feeling them. Doe was only sixteen. Combs abruptly then let go of John Doe’s genitals and told him that his people would be in touch. Combs continued with his party as if nothing had happened, but for John Doe, everything had changed. John Doe eventually recognized Combs sexually assaulted him by and through his power and influence over John Doe because he knew John Doe wanted to become a star.”

The alleged victim is seeking damages for pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, and emotional torment. Diddy and his legal team have already denied the allegations. The latest lawsuit comes as he remains behind bars while awaiting trial in his case regarding charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He pleaded not guilty shortly after his arrest. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy Faces Another Lawsuit Over An Alleged Rape Under The Threat Of Violence

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy is facing a new lawsuit from a woman who alleges that the Bad Boy mogul raped her at a hotel in Manhattan when she was just 19 years old. The woman, who only identifies as Jane Doe in the filing, alleges she met Diddy at a photoshoot for Da Band in 2004 where he invited her and a friend to an afterparty. Before the party, he asked they stop by his hotel room where the alleged incident then took place.

“You know what you are here for,” Diddy allegedly remarked once they were alone. The lawsuit adds: “Combs continued getting gradually more aggressive with the two women and eventually began forcibly touching them without consent. When they resisted, Combs ordered Ms. Doe’s friend to perform oral sex on him or else he would have them both killed. Once she was undressed, Combs forced himself on her and began to sexually assault her. Combs fondled, molested, and ultimately raped Ms. Doe, all while she was begging him to stop.”

Diddy’s Family Attends His Latest Hearing

The latest alleged victim has hired Tony Buzbee, the attorney who went viral earlier this month for claiming to have 120 more alleged victims. “When we talk about the ages of the victims when the conduct occurred, it’s shocking,” Buzbee said at the press conference. “Our youngest victim at the time of the occurrence was nine years old. We have an individual who was 14 years old. We have one who was 15.” According to Rolling Stone, Buzbee said Monday that he’ll be coming forward with several more lawsuits against Diddy in the coming weeks.

The latest accusation comes as Diddy remains behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting trial in his case regarding charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He’s already pleaded not guilty to those charges. As for Buzbee’s cases, one of Diddy’s lawyers, Erica Wolff, already denied all of the allegations in a statement to Rolling Stone. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy Sexual Abuse Hotline Receives 12,000 Calls In 24-Hour Span

October 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The number of Diddy lawsuits and allegations is simply dumbfounding and it’s going to continue to grow. Tony Buzbee, a high-profile Houston attorney who’s worked against clients such as Deshaun Watson, is helping contribute to that stack of legal papers by representing 120 alleged sexual assault/abuse victims. It’s worth noting their cases have yet to be filed. Earlier this month, he revealed this in a press conference and spoke with a sense of urgency and encouragement. “This is an important matter that we intend to aggressively pursue. We will leave no stone unturned to find all potentially liable parties, to include any individual or entity who participated in or benefitted from this egregious behavior,” he began.

“As we do this important work, we ask that the public understand it is very difficult and takes an incredible amount of courage for victims to come forward. I ask that we treat these brave individuals with the dignity and compassion that they deserve as they go through this trying time.” Following these statements, Buzbee then implored any one with potential allegations against Diddy to call the Sexual Assault Hotline. This instruction has led to some pretty negative reactions from other media personalities and the internet at large. Charlamagne tha God, along with the rest of The Breakfast Club, were quick to label it as a “joke” and that it’s going to discredit people who might have actual stories to tell.

The Internet Doesn’t Understand The Need For Opening A Hotline For Diddy

Well, there’s a good chance that Buzbee and whoever else was responsible for opening up the phones are going to prove these critics right because the number of callers is jaw-dropping. According to HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED and E! News, the attorney says that since that aforementioned press conference, the hotline had received 12,000 in just 24 hours. “When I made an announcement that I was going to pursue this case, the floodgates really opened. In a 10-day period we got 3,200 calls and then from the press conference we had yesterday, we had 12,000 calls in about 24 hours… I was not expecting the high volume of contact that we’ve gotten in the last 24 hours,” Buzbee said. Of course, this doesn’t mean that all of them are in “good faith,” so it will be interesting to see how all of these unfold.

What are your thoughts on attorney Tony Buzbee saying the Diddy Hotline has received 12,000 calls? Do you think this is going to ruin any potentially real victims’ chances of receiving justice? How many of these do you think were actually real callers? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Cassie Reportedly “Sickened” By Diddy Minor Abuse Allegations & Baby Oil Jokes

October 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

At a press conference earlier this week, attorney Tony Buzbee revealed that he’ll be representing over 120 individuals who plan to take legal action against Diddy. They accuse him of sexual assault, abuse, and more. 25 of them even claim to have been minors when the alleged abuse took place. For obvious reasons, this has prompted outrage from the public, including some of Diddy’s other alleged victims.

A source recently told Daily Mail, for example, that Cassie is disgusted. The singer sued Diddy in November of last year, and they reached a settlement roughly a day later. “Cassie had heard mumblings about the class action suit but broke down in tears when she was informed of the allegation about the child,” the source claimed. “She is planning to take time away from receiving updates because it has sickened her, and she hopes that anyone who was hurt receives justice and peace of body and mind.”

The allegations involving minors aren’t the only thing upsetting Cassie these days, however, according to the source. They add that she’s hurt by the jokes and memes that have been shared about baby oil in recent weeks. For those who don’t recall, Diddy’s indictment states that 1,000 bottles of the substance were discovered on his property.

“She is hurt that people are making jokes and memes out of the baby oil because of what it could have been used for,” the source told the outlet. “It isn’t funny to her or anyone who experienced similar.” What do you think of Cassie reportedly being “sickened” over allegations Diddy abused minors? What about her reportedly being hurt by all of the memes and jokes about baby oil? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

As we do this important work, we ask that the public understand it is very difficult and takes an incredible amount of courage for victims to come forward. I ask that we treat these brave individuals with the dignity and compassion that they deserve as they go through this trying time.” He also asked anyone else with allegations against Diddy to reach out to the Sexual Assault Hotline number at 1-800-200-7474.

Buzbee’s announcement comes after authorities in New York arrested the Bad Boy mogul, earlier this month, on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Diddy’s already pleaded not guilty and plans to fight his case in court. “I don’t see it happening… because he believes he’s innocent,” his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told TMZ regarding the idea of taking a plea deal. “He believes he’s innocent and what’s more, he believes that he needs to stand up not just for himself, for his family and for everybody who has been targeted by the federal government.”

Diddy is currently awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.
