“The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs and there’s a lot of names. It’s a long list already,… The names will shock you.”
The case against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is beginning to look a lot like that of Jeffrey Epstein, the sexual predator for the rich and famous, who died in his prison cell before he could get to trial. Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee, who has a list of 120 accusers who say they were sexually abused by Combs, is now warning that the grievances will name “household names” as well as prominent companies and personalities who facilitated Combs’ alleged crimes, the Daily Mail reported.
Buzbee said Tuesday that his cases will pursue banks, pharmaceutical companies and hotels that he alleges profited from Combs’ shocking behavior “We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates,” Buzbee said in a Houston news conference. He noted, “The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names. It’s a long list already … The names will shock you.”
Buzbee's co-counsel promised that the lawsuits will implicate “any venue or venue owner who was aware of what was going on.” The lawyers are prepared to file multiple lawsuits in many states over the next month and they promise to name the names after that. Buzbee would only say that half the plaintiffs are male and that most of the alleged activity was centered in New York, California, Georgia and Florida.
The accusations go back 33 years, with 25 of them concerning offenses against minors, with one alleged victim being only nine years old at the time Many of the accusations are tied to Diddy’s torrid White Parties, an annual celebration of sybaritism that occurred at his house while others involve hotels where drugs were allegedly served.
Buzbee said the new accusers have previously told their stories to police, including the FBI and many can prove their charges of being raped or drugged with medical evidence. “Drugs were found in their system – weird drugs, drugs that you probably never heard of,” the lawyer suggested, noting that “one in particular that continues to pop up is a drug called Xylazine, or tranq, which based on our research is known as a horse tranquilizer.”
The rap star was first arrested and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transporting prostitutes. His lawyer says Combs will testify in person when he comes up for trial. The celebrity remains in solitary confinement, where he is reportedly eschewing the prison food because he believes it could be poisoned. Judge ordered him to pay $100 million to a plaintiff in a sexual assault lawsuit last month. Combs has pleaded not guilty and says he is innocent of all the expanding charge.
