**Potential 300 Civil Cases Against Sean 'Diddy' Combs Claims Lawyer**

As new allegations emerge, a Texas lawyer believes the civil lawsuits against Diddy could reach 300, highlighting a broader cultural reckoning.

A lawyer, Tony Buzbee, representing multiple alleged victims of Sean "Diddy" Combs, hinted at a staggering potential of civil legal cases against the musician that "is probably in the 300 range." This assertion follows a significant influx of communication received by Buzbee’s team, totaling approximately 3,000 calls since a news conference was held in October to invite potential clients.

So far, Buzbee has filed 20 lawsuits from both men and women claiming damages, projecting that the number of cases reaching trial will realistically settle between 100 to 150 due to statute limitations in certain states preventing some claims from proceeding. Diddy has strongly rejected all charges, labeling them "sickening" and suggesting they are part of a pursuit for quick financial gain by the plaintiffs. His legal team has described this situation as an elaborate "media circus."

In a statement to the BBC, attorney Erica Wolff emphasized that Diddy has confidence in the judicial process, asserting, "In court, the truth will prevail: That Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor."

Currently, the music mogul is detained in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Detention Center amid separate charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, which he continues to deny.

Buzbee’s notable legal background includes high-profile cases, such as representing victims of BP’s oil refinery explosion and assisting women in settling claims against NFL quarterback Deshaun Watson for sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions. His involvement with Diddy arose when co-counsel Andrew Van Arsdale began receiving an overwhelming response from potential victims. Buzbee subsequently requested individuals come forward via social media, leading to an influx of claims screened by legal professionals to identify viable candidates.

The allegations against Diddy are notably diverse, spanning a considerable timeframe and involving multiple perpetrators. Among the claims is one from a woman who alleges she was raped by Combs in a hotel room in 2004 when she was only 19. Another claim comes from a young aspiring musician who was allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted by Diddy at the age of 10.

While many of the lawsuits have been filed anonymously—using the "John Doe" or "Jane Doe" nomenclature—Diddy's lawyers are seeking to have the plaintiffs' identities revealed, claiming it is necessary for a fair defense. Some courts have already ruled that plaintiffs must disclose their names before moving forward, which Buzbee believes may deter some but not all claimants from pursuing justice.

One of the lawsuits has generated noteworthy discussion as it includes claims of other celebrities being involved in Diddy’s alleged wrongdoing. Recently amended, it identified one of the figures mentioned as Jay-Z, who contends that the allegations are baseless and that he is being blackmailed by Buzbee.

Buzbee remains steadfast in pursuing these claims, declaring his intention to uphold the narratives of the alleged victims. He asserts that the prevailing culture in the music industry paved the way for what is depicted in the lawsuits, invoking a climate where individuals believed they were beyond reproach.

The ongoing public discourse has led to speculation about potential additional high-profile names being implicated as trials progress. Jay-Z’s vehement denials and accusations against Buzbee have only heightened interest, with critics of the process suggesting motives rooted in profit rather than sincere justice.

As the criminal case against Diddy unfolds, potential civil claimants are likely to experience delays, as the legal proceedings must resolve the criminal charges first due to the potential implicating nature of civil testimonies. The court has set a date for this criminal trial to commence in May 2025, with ongoing procedures potentially yielding further developments and revelations in the coming months.
