A list of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ alleged accomplices is set to be released as part of a new wave of bombshell lawsuits and the lawyer involved says it contains household names.
‘The names will shock you,’ attorney Tony Buzbee said during a press conference on Tuesday as he announced the new cases on behalf of 120 victims.
‘The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names,’ he continued.
Buzbee stated he plans to file lawsuits in several states over the next 30 days and pledged to reveal the names at a later date.
He confirmed that half the plaintiffs are male and that most of the alleged assaults took place in New York, California, Georgia and Florida.
The complaints date back to 1991 with the youngest alleged victim just nine-years-old, although 25 accusers say they were minors at the time.
Many of the claims relate to Combs’ infamous annual White Parties, as well as hotels and often allegedly involved drugs.
The lawsuit is the latest among almost a dozen to be levelled at the disgraced music mogul which accuse him of sexual and physical abuse.
It comes after the rapper, 54, was federally indicted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
Combs has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the criminal allegations.
‘As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,’ Erica Wolff, an attorney representing Combs, told Page Six.
‘That said, Mr. Combs 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.’
Combs is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center pending trial after two of his bail requests were rejected.
Prosecutors say Combs, ‘abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct’.
He is accused of orchestrating and forcing men and women to perform in drug-fueled orgies dubbed ‘Freak Off’s.
According to the indictment, investigators discovered a tranche of narcotics and weapons along with 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant following raids on Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles homes.
The criminal charges echo claims made by Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a lawsuit which was settled the day after it was filed.
‘This is an important matter that we intend to aggressively pursue,’ Buzbee added.
