Lawyer Says Diddy's Celebrity Pals Are 'Scrubbing Social Media' Posts To Distance Themselves From The Rapper

Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee, who is representing 120 individuals accusing Sean "Diddy" Combs of sexual assault, has suggested that the rapper's A-list friends are "scrubbing" their social media accounts in order not to get implicated in his legal issues.

Buzbee also recently explained that a number of them have started paying off the victims so that their names get off the list.

Since Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest, he has been hit with multiple new lawsuits from various alleged victims, who have accused him of drugging and assaulting them.

Amid Diddy's ongoing legal battles, allegations have emerged that his high-profile friends, who allegedly knew about his "freak offs" or partook in them, are hastily deleting incriminating social media posts.

The lawyer representing all 120+ accusers, Tony Buzbee, told Law & Crime Network that he has "no doubt" that a number of celebrity associates are "scrubbing their social media" to "distance themselves" from the embattled rapper and his indictment, sparking concerns of a potential cover-up.

"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," Buzbee said.

"And we know who they are, or we will find out who they are," he added. "This is not something that's going to happen overnight, but I think we're at the tip of the iceberg here."

It comes after Buzbee went public with allegations that the "Bad Boy for Life" rapper sexually assaulted 120 individuals, among whom were minors as young as nine years old.

He claimed in his statement that there were other A-list stars who were implicated in the case but refrained from mentioning names as he aimed to launch an airtight argument.

However, the lawyer recently noted that some of the alleged bigwigs have opted to settle out of court by paying off victims to keep their names out of the case.

"In every single case, especially cases like this … because it's in the best interests of the victim, we attempt to resolve these matters without the filing of a public lawsuit, and we've done that already with a handful of individuals, many of which you've heard of before," Buzbee said, per TMZ.

When Buzbee came forward with the allegations, he called on other victims who Diddy may have assaulted to come forward to help him build a stronger case as he announced that a hotline was created to that effect.

"As we do this important work, we ask that the public understand it is very difficult and takes an incredible amount of courage for victims to come forward," Buzbee said, per the Mirror. "Further, I'm also asking that if you have been victimized or are a witness to the alleged behavior, please come forward. Your identity will remain confidential at this time."

In his appearance on Law & Crime Network, he disclosed that the hotline was rung over 12,000 times in a 24-hour period after he made the announcement.

"When I made an announcement that I was going to pursue these cases, the floodgates really opened," he said, per Vibe. "In about a 10-day period, we got about 3,200 calls. And then from the press conference we had (Oct. 1), we've had 12,000 calls."

Diddy is currently incarcerated at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center as he awaits trial for charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He has been denied bail twice since his arrest as authorities deemed him a flight risk. He has maintained his innocence on all charges and vowed to prove it in court.

Weighing in on the allegations Buzbee brought forward, Diddy's lawyer, Erica Wolff, told Page Six that the public shouldn't expect any specific response from him.

"As Mr. Combs' legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus," the individual mentioned.

The source also said that Diddy has already "emphatically and categorically" denied any claim that he "sexually abused anyone" and "looks forward to proving his innocence."

Despite Diddy being in jail, a source familiar with the rapper who spoke to People Magazine claimed that he is still very influential and powerful.

The insider said, "He's so powerful. Everyone was afraid to cross him. Even though he's behind bars now, he's still so powerful. We all knew it even back then."

The source further noted that at the height of Diddy's influence, those around him believed his need for control stemmed from his intelligence.

"Everyone always chalked it up to being a creative genius when it came to his obsession with controlling things," the insider shared.

In the wake of Diddy's arrest, several revelations have emerged, many highlighting the Bad Boy mogul's obsession with exerting control over his associates and alleged victims.
