Ever since Sean 'Diddy' Combs was named in multiple lawsuits on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution many celebrities have been quietly distancing themselves from the music mogul. Now Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee has claimed that many celebs who have been linked to Diddy have been paying off victims.
Some celebrities implicated in the lawsuit involving the rapper's alleged 120 victims have reportedly avoided public exposure thanks to hush money.There has been much media coverage of Sean "Diddy" Combs and his past links with celebrities after his arrest.
Following Diddy's arrest, all of his celebrity friendships have come under intense scrutiny, with many being accused of being part of the debauchery that reportedly occurred at the rapper's infamous parties.
So far Diddy is the sole individual implicated in his federal sex crimes charges. Lawsuits filed by over 120 alleged victims may just lead Diddy to expose the names of other high-profile individuals connected to his crimes.
This is why, perhaps, some of the celebrities have reportedly begun paying off 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, and we've done that already with a handful of individuals, many of which you've heard of before," the victims' lawyer Tony Buzbee said, as per a report on TMZ.
Buzbee refrained from revealing how many individuals were implicated. He did hint at the reason behind the delay in naming individuals who have opted to ignore his demand letters.
He said, "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."
Buzbee said that those who had just witnessed Diddy during his infamous 'Freak Offs' would also face legal consequences.
The attorney remarked, "If you were there in the room, participated, watched it happen, and didn't say anything or helped cover it up, in my view, you have a problem."
Of the victims now being represented by Buzbee, 25 claim they were minors at the time of the alleged abuse.
