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.

"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."

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.

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

[-] CM400@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

That’s more than I make in a month.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 points 2 years ago

Oh not his earnings, his sentence time.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago

Everything I hear about him continues to get worse.

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years 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?

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 13 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[-] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago

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

[-] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years 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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Blood. In. The. Water.

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

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] 474D@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 years ago

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

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

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