Combs’ mother, Janice Smalls Combs, has strongly condemned what she calls the “public lynching” of her son.
Speaking to The Daily Mail, she said: “As a mother, I am devastated and deeply saddened by the allegations made against my son.”
“It’s heartbreaking to see my son judged not by the truth, but by a narrative based on lies,” he continued. “Witnessing what appears to be a public lynching before you have had the opportunity to prove your innocence is a pain too unbearable to describe.”

He further said that the allegations involve “a lot of powerful people” and “a lot of dirty secrets,” adding that his team has “images, videos and texts” to back up the allegations.
“We will expose the enablers who enabled this behavior behind closed doors,” Buzbee told reporters. “We will pursue this matter no matter who the testing involves.”
