Tony Buzbee, who claims he is representing 120 alleged sex abuse victims against rapper Sean Combs, has revealed that his P Diddy victim hotline received 12,000 calls in just 24 hours
A P Diddy hotline allegedly received 12,000 calls in 24 hours.
An attorney who claims to represent 120 alleged sex abuse victims against Sean “Diddy” Combs made a bombshell claim that he’s been inundated with calls about the hip-hop titan. Diddy, aged 54, found himself in cuffs last month facing serious charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He has “categorically denied” all the claims made against him and is currently in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. Hot on the heels of his arrest, lawyer Tony Buzbee spoke to LawandCrime and explained that his hotline has been swamped with “12,000 calls in about 24 hours.”, reports the Mirror.
He also mentioned that they’ve got nearly “have almost 100 people working on this task”. Buzbee explained: “So, our Herculean task is to try to sift through every one of these calls and make sure that we’re identifying those who are victims and those who are witnesses and collect evidence.”
The attorney said that the cases they’ve stitched together with the 120 accusers may have already been thrown at Diddy, but he stressed they are “trying to make sure that when we file the cases … that we include every potentially liable party”.
Diddy’s legal eagle Erica Wolff has slammed the claims against her client, issuing a statement to clear the air. She declared: “As Mr Combs’ legal team has emphasised, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus. That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.”
Wolff didn’t stop there, insisting: “He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.” The accusations span a 20-year timeline.
Buzbee has also previously stated: “This is an important matter that we intend to aggressively pursue. We will leave no stone unturned to find all potentially liable parties, to include any individual or entity who participated in or benefited from this egregious behaviour.”
