SEAN “Diddy” Combs is set to be hit with dozens of new allegations of sexual assault in a slew of civil lawsuits – but his lawyer has strongly denied the claims.
Attorney Tony Buzbee said he is representing 120 accusers – including one who claims he was just 9 years old when he was allegedly abused by the rapper – who plan to file their allegations.

Buzbee, who is based in Texas, said during a press conference on Tuesday that the allegations involve “many powerful people” and “many dirty secrets.”
He also noted that his team has “pictures, video and texts” to back up the claims.
“We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors,” Buzbee told reporters.
“We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates.
“It’s a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure we are right before we do that. These names will shock you.”
Buzbee said the allegations include “violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, dissemination of video recordings, sexual abuse of minors.”
He also said one accuser claims he was just 9 years old when Combs and others sexually abused him at the Bad Boy Records studio in New York City.
The attorney claimed Combs lured the boy to an audition and promised him a record deal before he allegedly sexually abused him.
