Diddy hotline for victims is flooded with 12,000 calls in just 24 hours

A hotline for the victims of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was flooded with 12,000 calls in just 24 hours, with 120 already preparing to sue the rapper.

Attorney Tony Buzbee published a hotline earlier this week, encouraging those who were victims of the rapper, 54, or those who knew of his crimes to come forward.

Combs was arrested in Manhattan last month following an investigation into his alleged sex trafficking crimes, in which he is accused of drugging and raping victims as young as nine.

“When I announced that I would be prosecuting these cases, the floodgates really opened,” Buzbee said. Law & Crime. “The number of calls was overwhelming and it was quite shocking.”

Within ten days of the hotline going live, Buzbee’s team received approximately 3,200 calls. But after Tuesday’s press conference, they received 12,000 calls in just 24 hours.

“So our enormous task is to sift through all these calls and ensure that we identify those who are victims and witnesses and collect evidence,” he told the channel.

The Texas-based attorney has about “100 people working on this task” and expects to begin filing civil cases within 30 days.

His team has already collected enough evidence to file 120 lawsuits against the rapper.

Of the 120 victims, 25 were minors at the time of the abuse. The youngest victims were then 9, 14, 15 years old.

“This individual, who was nine years old at the time, was taken to an audition in New York City at Bad Boy Records,” the lawyer announced at the press conference.

“This individual was allegedly sexually assaulted by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio in the promise to both his parents and himself that he would get a record deal.”

The claims come from victims who sought TV or music careers and the rapper promised to make them stars, as well as those who were simply invited to Diddy’s after-parties, Buzbee said.

The attorney has not yet filed the claims because they want to involve “every potentially liable party” before doing so.

“I mean any entities or other individuals that were involved, participated, facilitated, encouraged it, looked after the venue, benefited from it, profited from it, that sort of thing,” he told Law & Crime.

Although his team was initially shocked by the number of calls, the attorney said they are working through 25 years of Diddy’s alleged behavior, which included at album release parties, his famous White Parties and Freak Off parties.

Some of the soon-to-be-filed cases include names that would shock viewers, Buzbee said, although he did not release the names of these high-profile individuals.

“We want to be very careful about who we name,” he told the outlet. “I’m not going to be the person who starts naming potential people and smearing people for no reason.”

Buzbee said there was a “pattern of behavior” at Diddy’s parties and that it was an open secret among the Hollywood elite.

“I have no doubt that there are people right now who know they were involved in this in some way, who are now clearing out their social media, searching through their memories, deleting their texts, probably photos remove and try to distance ourselves from this, and we know who they are, or we will find out who they are,” the lawyer said.

“This isn’t something that’s going to happen overnight, but I think we’re at the tip of the iceberg.”

His team has already collected enough evidence to file 120 victim lawsuits against the “Show Me Your Soul” rapper ahead of the 12,000 calls.

One of the most high-profile people the public has speculated was involved in Diddy’s scandal was singer Justin Bieber, who hung out with the musician as a teenager.

The pair even appeared together on Jimmy Kimmel, where the rapper claimed they were “friends” and didn’t want to discuss what they did together.

Sources close to Bieber, 30, exclusively told the Daily Mail that he “should never have partyed with Diddy or anyone else when he was a teenager.”

They claim he was “thrown to the wolves” by his mother Pattie Mallette and largely absent father Jeremy Bieber.

Usher, whose record label Bieber was signed to and who was himself mentored by Diddy as a teenager, is also partly responsible, these sources claim.

There is no indication that Bieber or Usher’s parents were aware of Diddy’s alleged criminal activities at the time.
