Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing dozens of new allegations of sexual assault in a series of lawsuits set to be filed.

At a news conference held Tuesday, Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee said he is representing 120 accusers with allegations against the entertainment mogul that go back more than 20 years.

Accusers — The accusers include 60 males and 60 females, with 25 being minors at the time of the alleged misconduct.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 2 months ago

Minors as young as nine at the time of the alleged abuse.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Three dogs, 2 cats, and a parakeet. Diddy is a diddler.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

I wish I lived in a world where one accuser was enough to warrant a serious investigation and then serious steps put in place to limit future harms, if any harms were found.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Males too... He is seriously fucked up... Diddy had a suga daddy too... He is going down just not by holes but also by sticks too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's holes and poles, my man.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah man, that's the actual thought... Thanks

"I don’t know if you know this, but Puff is an investor in Twitter,' [Musk] said, using a nickname for Combs," Mac and Conger recount. "'You know, he’s a good friend of mine. We text a lot."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Oh look, another reason to not use Shitter and also to loathe Musk. I do love adding them to my mental list.

Not surprising, though. Musk has that kind of vibe.

bout to be a class action against this vile pos gahdamn

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Gonna get a check for 2 hours of his life in the mail.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That’s more than I make in a month.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh not his earnings, his sentence time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

The victims will get a check for two hours of his sentence time?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

Everything I hear about him continues to get worse.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

I haven't heard anything about other celebrities going down for this, but there's gotta be. Is this gonna turn out like Epstein where they pretend like it was all him and nobody else knew or helped him?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’m going to be so happy when people stop talking about this degenerate rapist and he just rots into obscurity in a cold dark prison.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I don't know. I would imagine some of his songs will be played for a long time. Hopefully, no one plays this song for Diddy himself...

Edit: Also, it's kind of funny his most important song is just a cover.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Just a few more accusers and he'll have a gross. I think that's when the bulk rate trial discount kicks in.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

The article said 3000 people had some forward but they are only filing 120 suits right now. More to come. I’d say Diddy is gross. 😬

Even if only 5% of those are legit, that’s unfathomable to me. Yikes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Worse, it's 120 per each name he's used so it's more like 120,000.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Blood. In. The. Water.

Breaking news: "Sean Combs announced as the new starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

He really should have learned to surf, then these waves of allegations would be no problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Strength in numbers, now is the time for everyone to come forward, they can't miss the king now, he is going down.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I don't get the hesitation for these victims to bring this up before now. Sure, right when it happened it could be tough to come forward, but you sit on this info all the way through the Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Eppstein, #MeToo era? Why would you do that when you know it's still happening to other people?

Precisely. Imagine someone doing something to you that you do not want, something that takes away your sense of autonomy, something that humiliates you. You know if you say something, some people will accuse YOU of doing something wrong, instead of your attacker. Now imagine that person has tons of money, and through that money tons of power. You know if you say anything about being attacked, it could hurt that person, and that person will use their money and power to make your life harder. You also know that even if everything goes best case scenario, it will be terribly hard, humiliating, and your personal life (and maybe some of your own behavior) will be out there for everyone to see. Then, think of all the ways it could be a worse outcome. I don't fault anyone for not coming forward. If I were a target for this behavior, I'd like to think that I would fight, but who knows what I would actually do. I hope I never have to find out.

He blew up Kid Cudi's car. He is a famous person. He tried to kill him and we're only learning about it now. As just regular people, they chose the safer option, you can't be mad at that.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wild. “could not escape” him & his network, one victim said.

In case you are serious, almost everyone that was with him at the start died mysteriously or was shot and he's the prime suspect for ordering both tupac and big's deaths.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why would you do that when you know it’s still happening to other people?

I love living in a country where the police have no duty to protect others, but the victims of crimes do.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

How will the police, or anyone else, know about the crimes if no one reports them?
