A lawyer representing victims of sexual assault allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs has revealed that some of the music mogul’s celebrity friends are quietly settling with the victims to avoid being publicly named. The lawyer, who is representing multiple women who have accused Combs of sexual misconduct, made the statement in an interview with AOL.
According to the lawyer, several high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry have been reaching out to the victims behind the scenes to offer financial settlements in exchange for their silence. The goal of these settlements, the lawyer claims, is to prevent their names from being dragged into the public scandal surrounding Combs and to avoid any potential legal repercussions that could arise from their involvement.
The lawyer also expressed frustration at the lack of support from the industry and the media for the victims coming forward with their allegations. They criticized the silence of Combs’ celebrity friends and called out the culture of protecting powerful individuals at the expense of justice for victims.
The allegations against Combs first surfaced in the wake of the #MeToo movement, with multiple women accusing him of sexual assault and harassment. Despite denying the allegations, Combs has faced mounting pressure from the public and the music industry to address the claims and take responsibility for his actions.
As the legal battle continues, it remains to be seen how the involvement of Diddy’s celebrity friends will impact the outcome of the case. For now, the victims’ lawyer is urging them to hold firm and not allow themselves to be silenced or intimidated by powerful individuals attempting to protect their own reputations.
