Diddy’s Hotline Erupts with 12,000 Calls Amidst Alarming Abuse Allegations

In a shocking turn of events, a newly launched hotline for victims of Sean 'Diddy' Combs has received an overwhelming 12,000 calls within just 24 hours, as reported by attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing 120 alleged sex abuse victims against the music mogul. This surge of calls follows revelations of further accusations, including that of a child who was just 9 years old at the time of the alleged abuse.

Buzbee, a Texas-based lawyer known for taking on high-profile cases, announced the hotline earlier this week, noting that a fresh wave of accusers has stepped forward to seek justice. “From the press conference we had yesterday, we’ve had 12,000 calls in about 24 hours,” Buzbee stated in an interview with Law&Crime. He described the process of sorting through these calls as a 'Herculean task,' as his team aims to distinguish between victims and witnesses, while gathering concrete evidence to support their claims against Combs.

As the hotline continues to receive attention, nearly 100 personnel have been mobilized to methodically evaluate the influx of reports. Buzbee emphasized the need for thorough investigation, saying, 'We want to ensure that when we file these cases, we include every potentially liable party.'

The pressing allegations against Combs span three decades and involve both male and female victims, with 25 minors among those coming forward. Buzbee alleges that these children were misled into believing they would achieve success in the entertainment industry with promises such as, 'I’ll make you a star.'

Additionally, Buzbee has hinted at the involvement of 'many powerful people' within the industry who could be implicated as the implications of these accusations unfold. Most of the impending lawsuits are expected to be filed in New York and Los Angeles soon, ramping up the pressure on Combs.

This latest controversy comes on the heels of Combs's federal indictment last month on multiple serious charges, including sex trafficking. The indictment details allegations of coercing women into participating in 'Freak Offs,' which are described as violent sexual encounters, often recorded without consent. Combs has denied all charges and remains in custody without bail in Brooklyn.

As the legal tides turn against the Bad Boy Records founder, this case raises crucial questions not only about accountability in the entertainment industry but also about the broader systemic issues of abuse and exploitation. The coming weeks will be pivotal as more victims come forward and legal actions unfold—one thing remains certain, the fallout from this scandal could shake the very foundations of the music world.
