A list of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ alleged accomplices will be released as part of a new wave of explosive lawsuits and the lawyer involved says it contains well-known names.
“The names will surprise you,” attorney Tony Buzbee said during a news conference Tuesday announcing the new cases on behalf of 120 victims.
“There will come a day when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there are a lot of names,” he continued.
“It’s already a long list, but due to the nature of this case, we’re going to make sure we’re right before we do it.”

Buzbee stated that he plans to file lawsuits in several states over the next 30 days and promised to release the names at a later date.
He confirmed that half of the plaintiffs are men and that most of the alleged assaults occurred in New York, California, Georgia and Florida.
The allegations date back to 1991 and the youngest alleged victim was just nine years old, although 25 complainants say they were minors at the time.
Many of the claims relate to Combs’ infamous annual White Parties, as well as hotels and often allegedly involving drugs.
The lawsuit is the latest of nearly a dozen filed against the disgraced music mogul accusing him of sexual and physical abuse.
It comes after the rapper, 54, was indicted federally for racketeering and sex trafficking.
Combs has denied any wrongdoing and has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges.
“As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, it cannot address all of the baseless allegations in what has become a reckless media circus,” said Erica Wolff, an attorney representing Combs. Page six.
Attorney Tony Buzbee said the names of the people linked to the class-action lawsuit would “shock” people.

‘That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies, as false and defamatory, any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.
“He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court when lawsuits are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”
Combs is currently being held at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center awaiting trial after two of his bail requests were denied.
Prosecutors say Combs “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to satisfy his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.”
He is accused of orchestrating and forcing men and women to perform in drug-fueled orgies called ‘Freak Off’s.
According to the indictment, investigators discovered a cache of narcotics and weapons along with 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant after raids on Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles.
The criminal charges echo claims made by Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a lawsuit that was settled the day after it was filed.
“This is an important issue that we intend to address aggressively,” Buzbee added.
