A sexual abuse hotline established for potential victims of Sean "Diddy" Combs has been inundated with an overwhelming number of calls in a short period.
According to Breitbart News, the hotline set up by Buzbee Law Firm received a staggering 12,000 calls within 24 hours.
Tony Buzbee, the lead counsel at the firm, is currently representing 120 individuals with allegations against Combs, his associates, and related entities. The surge in calls came following a press conference held by Buzbee and the AVA Law Group last week.
Buzbee expressed surprise at the volume of calls, describing it as "overwhelming" and "shocking." The law firms are now faced with the daunting task of sifting through each call to identify genuine victims and witnesses, as well as to collect relevant evidence.
To manage this influx, Buzbee revealed that nearly 100 people are working on processing the information received. The legal team is preparing to file individual cases against Combs and potentially other liable parties.
The attorney emphasized that they are looking into entities and individuals who may have been involved, participated, facilitated, or profited from the alleged misconduct.
Buzbee provided context for the high number of calls, explaining that the allegations span a 25-year period involving numerous parties and events. He stated:
We're talking about album release parties, we're talking about the 'white parties' you've heard about, after parties, after shows, just impromptu parties at hotels and clubs.
The lawyer suggested that recent legal actions against Combs, including his arrest and denial of bail, may have encouraged more victims to come forward.
Among the 120 accusers currently represented by Buzbee, 25 were reportedly minors at the time of the alleged incidents, with the youngest being just 9 years old. The attorney hinted that upcoming lawsuits would implicate more individuals, some of whom might shock the public.
Buzbee also addressed the possibility of people attempting to distance themselves from the situation:
There is a long list of people. I have no doubt that there are people right now who know that they were somehow involved in this, who are now scrubbing their social media, who are searching their memories, who are deleting their texts, probably deleting pictures and trying to distance themselves from this.
Combs is currently being held without bail in New York as he awaits trial. The music mogul faces serious charges, including sex trafficking, forced labor, and racketeering conspiracy, among others.
His attorney, Erica Wolff, stated that Mr. Combs categorically denies all allegations of sexual abuse, calling them false and defamatory.
The case against Sean "Diddy" Combs continues to unfold, with thousands of potential victims coming forward. A sexual abuse hotline has received an overwhelming 12,000 calls in 24 hours. Legal teams are working to process these claims and prepare individual cases against Combs and potentially other involved parties.
