Diddy’s Celebrity Friends Paying Off Victims to Dodge Lawsuit, Lawyer Claims

Since Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was named in multiple lawsuits for alleged sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution, many celebrities have quietly distanced themselves from him. Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee has now claimed that several celebrities linked to Diddy have been paying victims to keep quiet.

Some celebrities implicated in the allegations involving the rapper’s supposed 120 victims have reportedly managed to avoid public exposure through hush money payments. Following the extensive media coverage of Diddy’s arrest, many of his past celebrity associations have come under scrutiny, with some accused of being involved in the alleged misconduct at his notorious parties.

Currently, Diddy is the only person formally implicated in the federal sex crimes charges. However, the lawsuits filed by over 120 alleged victims could lead him to expose other high-profile individuals who were involved.

This potential exposure is perhaps why some celebrities have reportedly started paying victims to avoid being named publicly.

“In every single case, especially cases like this, because it’s in the best interests of the victim, we attempt to resolve these matters without the filing of a public lawsuit. We’ve already done that with a handful of individuals, many of whom you’ve heard of before,” Tony Buzbee, the lawyer representing the victims, said, according to TMZ.

Buzbee did not specify how many individuals were implicated, but he hinted at the reason for the delay in naming those who have ignored his demands for accountability.

“We want to make sure if we name individuals beyond Mr. Combs, that we have done our homework because it is going to create a firestorm, and we understand that,” he explained.

Buzbee added that those who were present during Diddy’s infamous “Freak Off” parties could also face legal consequences.

“If you were in the room, participated, watched it happen, and didn’t say anything or helped cover it up, in my view, you have a problem,” the attorney stated.

Of the victims now represented by Buzbee, 25 claim they were minors at the time of the alleged abuse.
