Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing new allegations from more than 100 accusers, a Texas law firm revealed.

The Buzbee Law Firm and AVA Law Group said at a news conference Tuesday that it is representing 120 accusers.

“The biggest secret in the entertainment industry that really wasn’t a secret at all, has finally been revealed to the world. The wall of silence has now been broken, and victims are coming forward,” Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee said.



Mr. Buzbee said the team had more than 3,285 individuals contact the firm claiming that they were victimized by Mr. Combs. He said he plans to begin filing lawsuits in different states within the next 30 days.

“We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates,” he said.

He said the allegations will include “violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, dissemination of video recordings, sexual abuse of minors.”

The victims he is representing include 60 men and 60 women. Of those, 62% identify as African American, 30% are white, and the rest are Hispanic and Asian. They come from more than 25 states, with the majority from New York, California, Georgia and Florida. 

He said that 25 of them were minors at the time of the incidents, with one as young as nine.

One of Mr. Combs’ lawyers, Erica Wolff, said the recording artist “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 if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation,” she said in a statement.

Mr. Combs was denied bail twice last month after being arrested on Sept. 16. He is charged with sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering conspiracy. The unsealed indictment painted a picture of Mr. Combs as an all-powerful sex fiend presiding over “Freak Offs.”

His lawyers filed a notice of appeal Monday to try and get him out of jail until his trial date.

His next court date is Oct. 9.
