A mystery celebrity identified only as “John Doe” has filed a lawsuit alleging that attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents 120 of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged sexual assault accusers, attempted to extort him by threatening to publicly file false allegations against him. The lawsuit, filed in LA Superior Court, claims that Buzbee demanded money in exchange for not including the celebrity’s name in damning court papers. Buzbee, however, denies sending an extortion letter and stated that no amount of money was mentioned in the demand letter.
The new lawsuit has brought attention to the ongoing legal battle surrounding Combs, who was arrested in New York in September on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He allegedly engaged in sexual abuse of women, including forcing them into days-long sexual activity with male prostitutes, crossing state lines. The rapper is also accused of raping a 10-year-old and 17-year-old boy. Despite the allegations, Combs has pleaded not guilty and maintained his innocence.
The star involved in the extortion accusation against Buzbee is described as a “friend” of Combs who has attended various star-studded events with him. The lawsuit describes the allegations against the celebrity as entirely false and baseless, aiming to destroy the individual’s reputation for profit. The case highlights the complex legal battles involving powerful figures in the entertainment industry and the efforts of high-profile attorneys to seek justice for sexual assault survivors.
