Diddy’s Legal Team Allege Prosecuting Lawyer Is Using Case For Publicity

Tony Buzbee has become a central character in the Diddy legal saga. The lawyer has decided to take on several of Diddy’s accusers, with new lawsuits being filed seemingly every week. This approach has not sat well with the mogul’s legal team, however. The lawyers representing Diddy took Buzbee to task in a Monday interview with TMZ. They told the outlet that the horrific accusations leveled at Diddy by Tony Buzbee’s clients are baseless. Furthermore, they allege that Buzbee is merely using the case to boost his own public profile.

Diddy’s legal team pointed to Buzbee’s hotline as proof of an example of a Buzbee publicity stunt. The hotline was set up to field allegations from alleged Diddy victims. The hotline gained loads of attention after it was reported that it received 12K calls in the first day of operation. “The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity,” Diddy’s team told TMZ. In addition to raising doubts about Buzbee’s intentions, the team asserted that Diddy is not guilty of the crimes he has been accused of.

“In court, the truth will prevail,” they asserted. “That Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman.” The timing of the public statement makes sense, given that Tony Buzbee filed six lawsuits earlier the same day.
