I am the latest client to be added to Tony Buzbee’s list, as more than 120-plus individuals prepare to sue rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs for allegations of sexual assault, rape, and sexual exploitation, according to the prominent US lawyer. And as much as I am not one of those he preyed on for sex, the violent encounter I had with him is just as traumatic. And so I feel a strong allegiance to all of the others, who have been hurt or harmed by this monster. “This is an important case that we intend to pursue aggressively,” said Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee. “We will leave no stone unturned in identifying all potentially liable parties, including any individual or entity involved in or benefiting from this reprehensible behavior.”
The once-hip-hop mogul continues to deny all allegations of criminal misconduct. This legal action follows another lawsuit filed last week in New York, accusing Mr. Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman. Currently, Mr. Combs remains in federal custody, facing criminal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
After watching Mr. Buzbee’s press conference, I was grief-stricken by the sheer number of individuals Sean Combs has is said to have violated, not to mention the thousands who these attorneys have yet to vet. In that moment, I knew it was my duty to speak out, to represent, and to shift my focus from my personal agenda to helping the countless victims of Combs. Is it any of my business? No, it’s not just my business—it’s my mission. D. Gilmore
