Public and Legal Reactions

Attorney Tony Buzbee, representing the alleged victims, has launched numerous lawsuits against Combs, with over 100 potential victims expected to take legal action. Buzbee cites multiple offenses, including rape, false imprisonment, and abuse across various locations over decades.

“We will let the allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves, and will work to see that justice is done,” Buzbee makes clear.

Despite the mounting accusations, Combs’ legal representatives staunchly defend his innocence. They challenge the credibility of the lawsuits, accusing Buzbee of seeking media attention. As the trial approaches, the federal judge has placed a gag order to curtail any media discussions related to the case.
