New York, NY — Sean “Diddy” Combs, the prominent music mogul, finds himself at the center of new legal troubles as fresh sexual assault accusations surface against him. Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee has filed two new civil lawsuits in the Southern District of New York on Sunday. These lawsuits come on behalf of two unidentified men who allege they were sexually assaulted by Combs in separate incidents in 2022.
The legal actions highlight a troubling week for Combs, who was previously sued in six other lawsuits filed by Buzbee less than a week ago. In response to these earlier allegations, Combs, through his legal team, issued a denial, asserting his innocence and trusting the integrity of the judicial process to reveal the truth.
According to Buzbee, this recent legal maneuver is just the beginning of what seems to be an extensive battle in court, as he suggested that more cases are expected to be filed soon. This strategy indicates a thorough preparation phase on Buzbee’s part as he stated, “We expect to be filing cases weekly naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings.”
Currently, Combs is detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn without bail, facing severe allegations beyond the civil claims. He has been charged with federal racketeering and sex trafficking, with his criminal trial scheduled to start on May 5. During a recent hearing, federal prosecutors disclosed that they are examining data from over 90 devices confiscated during raids on Combs’ properties earlier this year.
Additionally, amid the mounting charges, Combs’ legal team has made a move to have the accusers in the federal sex trafficking case identified publicly, claiming this is essential for preparing Combs’ defense effectively. His team is also actively challenging the decision to keep him detained without bail, having recently filed an appeal in New York’s federal appeals court.
The ongoing lawsuits and criminal charges paint a broader picture of legal and public relations challenges for Combs. The music mogul’s tumultuous period follows shortly after his former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, brought a lawsuit against him, which was swiftly settled. Furthermore, Dawn Richard, a former member of the girl group Danity Kane, has also accused Combs of serious misconduct including assault and imprisonment.
Despite the mounting allegations and intense scrutiny, Combs has consistently denied all wrongdoing associated with the claims against him.
