Dirty Diddy hit with new sex crime allegations from 120 men, women, & minors
Disgraced hip hop mogul Sean Combs, aka Puff Daddy, faces disturbing new sex crime claims.
Otherwise known by the stage names Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, and Diddy, the hip hop artist and business entrepreneur Sean Combs was arrested on Monday, September 16 in New York City on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Now, lawsuits coming from 120 new victims — which includes men and women — are expected to be filed against Combs. These suits reportedly accuse Combs of "sex crimes dating back to 1991, several of whom were minors at the time of the alleged incidents," The Hollywood Reporter's Winston Cho writes. The new accusers also claim that they were drugged and raped.
The THR report names Tony Buzbee as the lawyer who's representing this group of 120 new accusers. Buzbee reportedly says that "companies and individuals who were aware of and profited off of turning a blind eye to Combs' misconduct will be named in the litigation. They could include Bad Boy Entertainment and its president Harve Pierre, Universal Music Group and Epic Records, among various others that've already been roped into legal actions over Combs' alleged crimes."
While it is accurate to say that certain high-profile celebrities might be involved in these accusations, it is important to note that this is a very serious legal case with incredibly concerning allegations. Thus, it is unwise and irresponsible for members of the public to start accusing celebrities that they assume might be involved in these circumstances based on theories and assumptions. What matters now, more than ever, is listening to the actual victims filing these lawsuits and allowing this case to play out in the legal system.
Combs' arrest from mid-September was followed by his "not guilty" plea. At the time, CNN reported that Combs was "held by himself at the Special Housing Unit in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn."
Just a few days ago, on Saturday September 29, People reported that Combs was "no longer on suicide watch" and had received visits from family members while waiting for his trial. With 120 new accusers, however, it's now even clearer that Combs will remain in custody and will face several legal cases over the next few months and years.
