P Diddy’s high-profile friends could be offered the chance to settle claims with alleged victims to avoid media scrutiny, according to lawyer Tony Buzbee.

He suggests that many celebrities are likely feeling anxious as they could potentially be implicated in a series of allegations. This comes as numerous civil lawsuits are reportedly being prepared against the embattled rapper, who is currently in custody. Last week, it was alleged that Diddy had used horse tranquilizers to incapacitate his alleged victims.

Buzbee represents one such alleged victim who was 15-years-old at the time. The lawyer alleges she was “flown to New York City to attend a party” before being drugged and “taken to a private room allegedly in the presence of Mr. Combs.”
Buzbee, who claims to represent around 120 alleged victims of Diddy, suggests that other well-known individuals may soon be named in the lawsuits. However, he also claims that some celebrities have been given the opportunity to pay their victims to settle out of court and keep their identities concealed, reports the Mirror.

He stated: “Everyone is focused on what other celebrities were involved, who is going to be named, who is going to be outed. I don’t expect that to happen this week. 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. 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.”

The high-profile Houston attorney has vowed to “aggressively” chase down the individuals linked to the abuse. He remarked that “a lot of people saw this activity going on.”

The lawyer informed TMZ that he has issued a barrage of demand letters targeting stars allegedly tied to the scandal. In further discussions with the media outlet, he indicated that his office had been inundated with calls from alleged victims of Diddy. While imminent litigation is anticipated, insiders hint that the upcoming filings won’t single out any celebrities; rather they’ll target corporate firms accused of facilitating Diddy’s alleged crimes, according to Buzzbee.
Currently, bad boy rapper Diddy finds himself behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York on serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, as well as accusations of transporting individuals for prostitution purposes. Despite the charges, Diddy maintains his innocence across the board.

In a related development, Diddy’s mother Janice Smalls Combs has come forward with a searing statement about her son’s detention. Defending him against the grievous allegations of sex trafficking and sexual misconduct, she declared that “as a mother,” her heart is heavy with what her child stands accused of.

She elaborated on her devastation, articulating the “heartbreaking” situation Combs faces. Janice stated: “I come to you today as a mother that is devastated and profoundly saddened by the allegations made against my son, Sean Combs.”

“It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth but for a narrative created out of lies. To bear witness to what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have this day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”

Diddy denies all allegations made against him. In a statement, his legal representative Erica Wolff addresses the “meritless allegations.”

She said: “As Mr Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”

Speaking to TMZ, she added: “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, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
