It recently came to light that certain celebrities who appeared in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Freak Off videos are settling with the victims by paying them off. The celebrities are making an attempt to avoid having their names referenced in the case. Diddy was accused with sex trafficking and racketeering and detained in New York. Many A-list celebrities were said to have attended or been aware of these parties.
Attorney Tony Buzbee revealed TMZ on Monday that he sent demand letters to many A-list celebrities, requesting them to reveal whatever information or knowledge they had about Diddy’s parties so that they could “resolve matters” quietly. He quoted, “If you were attending one of these parties […] and you attended before or you knew what was going to happen — that is, you knew that a particular drug was being used in drinks that were causing people to be coerced and taken advantage of — and you were there in the room or you participated or you watched it happen and didn’t say anything or you helped cover it up, in my view, you have a problem.”
As per Page Six, Buzbee’s strategy is predicated on the reality that many people knew or attended the Freak Offs, and they should be held accountable. This is exactly what the lawyer intends to accomplish, teasing, “All of these individuals have exposure here. Who will be named when they will be named, all that will come out in due course.”
He further pointed out that if these individuals want to remain nameless in the debate, they must settle with the claimed victims. The Texas Lawyer quoted, “In every single case, especially cases like this, we collect our data, collect our evidence, do our due diligence, spend time with the victim, and then because it’s in the best interest of the victim, we attempt to resolve these matters without the filing of a public lawsuit, and we have done that already.”
Buzbee remarked, “We’ve done that with a handful of individuals, many of which you’ve heard of before, and we’ll continue to do that.” He further stated that if persons received demand letters but did not settle, their identities would be publicised through public lawsuits. The latest developments in the case come a month after the disgraced entrepreneur was arrested and pleaded not guilty in court. Diddy’s counsel also indicated that he will not take a plea offer since he is innocent.
