"Many Powerful Names Will be Exposed" 120 New Civil Cases Being Filed Against Diddy & New High-Profile Defendants

“The biggest secret in the entertainment industry, that really wasn’t a secret at all, has finally been revealed to the world," Attorney Tony Buzbee said, ready to name names

As the Diddy case unravels, one question remains: who else was involved?

With over 25 years of alleged abuse and more than 100 victims coming forward, it seems implausible Diddy acted alone.

Anywhere you look online you’ll see people begging authorities to “release the list, already!” praying that other big wigs will be also be held accountable for enabling and participating in decades of music industry abuse.

The internet lit up on Tuesday after Houston Attorney Tony Buzbee said he’s ready to “name names,” during a press conference.

"The day will come when we will name names, other than Sean Combs, and there's a lot of names,” Buzbee told a crowded room of reporters.

“It's a long list already. Because of the nature of this case, we're going to make damn sure we're right before we do that," Buzbee said, adding that some of these names “will shock you.”

“We will find the silent accomplices. We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter, no matter who the evidence implicates,” - Tony Buzbee

Buzbee announced that his law firm will represent 120 new victims who have come forward to file civil suits against Sean “Diddy” Combs and other well-known celebrities, cases spanning over 25 years. Prior to this press conference, it was assumed that the “freak offs” started in 2008, but according to new victim stories, the abuse and exploitation may date back all the way to 1991. Not only are new individuals being named as defendants in these new civil lawsuits, but corporate entities are also being included, who Buzbee said allegedly “profited off this culture and behavior.” These corporate entities include banks, pharmaceutical companies and hotels.

Buzbee and his team are vetting all the victims carefully by collecting photo and video evidence, dates, times and names of identify witnesses to ensure that each case they take on is legitimate. Further defendants will be named publicly in court documents as individual cases are filed. Buzbee said the new cases they’re working on include allegations against other high-profile celebrities who allegedly worked hand in hand with Diddy, abusing their power to exploit vulnerable victims, many who were looking to make a name for themselves in the industry. 25 new victims were minors during the time the incidents allegedly occurred, the youngest being a 9-year-old, who claims he suffered abuse during an audition at Bad Boy Records Studios.

“They seek victims who are vulnerable such as children, their employees and their intimate partners, all who see a different version than the public does. All who rely on the abuser in some way,” Carrie L. Paul of the National Victim Advocate, told the crowd during the press conference.

“Abusers are unfortunately very skilled at power and control, a foundation of abuse,” she said.

Victims Fear of Retaliation

Now that Diddy is behind bars, Buzbee said victims are feeling safer coming forward but many still feel afraid of retaliation by one of Diddy’s powerful perpetrators. He said they also worry about public backlash from their communities, peers and the general public, especially since some of the defendants named in these new cases are celebrities with large cult-like fanbases, whose fans will defend anything their beloved celebrity does.

“You’ll be shocked at the length fans will go no matter the evidence to the contrary to defend celebrities they love,” Buzbee said, revealing that he’s already facing backlash and death threats for taking on these cases.

Diddy Denies All 120 Pending Lawsuits

Diddy’s legal team spoke to Rolling Stone and denied all 120 new pending lawsuits.

“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,” Erica Wolff told Rolling Stone.

“That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and cateograpically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocent and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”

Diddy Lied About Cassie Ventura

This is not the first time Diddy’s claimed innocence.

In November 2023, Diddy’s lawyers denied Cassie Ventura’s claims of sexual assault and abuse, accusing Ventura of telling “baseless and outrageous lies” in hopes for a “pay day.”

"Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations," Ben Brafman told E! News.

"For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura's persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail. Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs's reputation and seeking a payday."

It wasn’t until the video of Diddy assaulting Cassie in the hotel surfaced in March, that people finally starting believing Cassie.

Diddy had no choice but to respond, and put out that performative selfie apology video, apologizing to the public (not Cassie) for his monstrous behavior, claiming that the incident happened during a bad time in his life. He swore he was a changed man.

We’re now hearing that the new cases being filed by Buzbee’s firm span from 1991 all the way to 2024.

“This conduct should have never been able to go on for so long,” Buzbee said.

“A LIE HAS GREAT SPEED BUT TRUTH HAS ENDURANCE”

Buzbee feels confident that all complicit co-conspirators will be held accountable, no matter how powerful they may seem.

His law firm represented the 22 women who sued Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for sexual misconduct during massage sessions. Buzbee helped lead most of these women to victory, as Watson ended up settling with nearly all the plaintiffs.

A sexual abuse hotline has been created for other victims who want to call and report a case. If this happened to you or someone you know, report the case to 1-800-200-7474
