The Texas lawyer who filed several anonymous complaints against hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has said he will not be intimidated by Jay-Z’s cutting comments.
Tony Buzbee shared a photo of him in uniform as a platoon commander on Instagram on Sunday evening, claiming people were harassing him and his family.
He did not accuse Jay-Z of any harassment, but earlier in the day added his name to an anonymous lawsuit accusing him and Diddy of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl.
“Do you recognize this guy?” Buzbee asked as he shared the photo from his time in the Marines. “This is a photo of the weapons platoon commander, Alpha Company, First Battalion, Fourth Marines from our old Western Pacific cruise book.
“Despite a concerted and aggressive effort that included harassing my children, contacting my clients and former clients to encourage them to sue me, contacting my coworkers and former employees asking if I “abused them “, showing up at my current employee’s house to harass them, filing frivolous cases against me and my law firm, defaming me with outrageous claims to anyone who will listen, and having mysterious people follow me and my family, I I’m still THAT one guy.
“I will not be bullied or intimidated,” he continued.
“People will see through this attempt to discredit me and my clients, and the truth will come out.
“I also won’t let anyone scare the hell out of my clients,” Buzbee said. “Sunlight is the best disinfectant and I’m pretty sure the sun is coming.”

Buzbee has filed more than 100 lawsuits accusing Combs of sexual assault.
Many of the lawsuits did not survive because the plaintiffs refused to reveal their identities.
But a judge had ruled that one case alleging Combs and Jay-Z raped a 13-year-old girl at an afterparty after the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000 could go further, saying the victim had sufficient cause to continue. the suit in anonymity.
It was originally filed last October in the Southern District of New York against Combs, with a refiling on Sunday naming Jay-Z, 55, whose real name is Shawn Carter, as a suspect.
The lawsuit alleges that at the VMA after-party, the then-teen took a drink containing “a reddish-yellow mixture that tasted like orange juice, cranberry juice, and something bitter” and “began to feel dizzy and light-headed, causing her to lie.” . down.’
She claimed she lay down in “what appeared to be an empty bedroom” and then Combs, Jay-Z and a female celebrity named “Celebrity B” entered the room.
“Combs aggressively approached plaintiff with a crazy look in his eyes, grabbed her and said, ‘You’re ready to party!’,” according to legal documents.
The attorney added Jay-Z’s name to an anonymous lawsuit accusing him and Diddy of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in September 2000.
The accuser said in the lawsuit that Combs threw her “against a wall,” causing her to fall, and then “grabbed her again and threw her on the bed.”
She further alleged that Jay-Z began undressing her “as she became increasingly disoriented” and held her down while “he vaginally raped her while Combs and Celebrity B watched.”
“After (Jay-Z) finished, he stepped back to the wall. Combs then stepped forward and vaginally raped plaintiff while Carter and Celebrity B watched,” the complaint states.
According to legal documents, “another celebrity stood by and watched as Combs and Carter took turns assaulting the minor. Many others attended the afterparty but did nothing to stop the attack.
The accuser also said Combs tried to force her to “perform oral sex on him,” to which she “fighted back, quickly stood up and lashed out at the same time, striking Combs in the neck,” after which he “stopped his attempt.”
The alleged victim “now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and a seizure disorder caused by stress and trauma,” and “has had difficulty maintaining normal relationships and a life largely withdrawn from society,” according to the complaint.
She is asking the court for unspecified damages in the lawsuit, which is filed under New York state’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act.

Diddy, pictured at the event 24 years ago, has been in custody in New York for nearly three months as he awaits his sex trafficking trial in May.
Jay-Z attacked Buzbee in the aftermath, suggesting he wasn’t a legitimate lawyer while hurling a slew of insults.
“My attorney received a blackmail attempt, a so-called demand letter, from an ‘attorney’ named Tony Buzbee,” the Roc Nation founder began.
He accused Buzbee of taking on the case for “personal gain,” writing, “What he calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle.”
‘No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you in a VERY public way for the fraud you’re committing,” he continued. “So no, I’m not giving you a single red cent!!”
“These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil complaint!! Whoever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked up, don’t you agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case,” he continued.
“This lawyer, who I did some research on, seems to have a pattern of this kind of theater!” I have no idea how you became such a deplorable human being, Mr. Buzbee, but I promise you that I have seen your kind many times. I’m more than willing to deal with your type,” he added.
“You claim to be a Marine?! Marines are known for their bravery, you have no honor or dignity’
The rapper then said that it is ‘unfair’ that his family, and especially his eldest daughter Blue Ivy, is also affected by the lawsuit.
“My only heartbreak is for my family,” he wrote. “My wife and I will have to sit down our children, one of whom is at the age when her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people.
“I mourn yet another loss of innocence,” he wrote.

‘Children shouldn’t have to experience this at a young age. “It is unfair to have to try to understand the inexplicable level of malice intended to destroy families and the human spirit,” he added.
“My heart and support go out to real victims in the world who have to watch their life stories being costumed for profit by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.”
“You have made a terrible error in judgment by thinking that all ‘celebrities’ are the same. I’m not from your world,” he wrote.
“I am a young man who survived the Brooklyn project. We don’t play these kinds of games. We have very strict codes and honor,” he continued.
‘We protect children, you seem to be exploiting people for personal gain. Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have made against me which, without the severity of the harm to children, would be laughable.”
He concluded his statement, writing, “I look forward to showing you how different I am.”
The legal documents filed against Jay-Z show that he was referred to as “Celebrity A” in a previous legal filing and that he has homes in New York City and Los Angeles.
Combs, who is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, has denied all allegations against him.
Combs was charged by federal officials in September with sex trafficking, racketeering and other offenses. He has tried unsuccessfully to get bail three times.
Lawyers for Combs released a statement to TMZ on Sunday night calling Buzbee’s latest move one of a series of “shameless publicity stunts”; and reiterated their position on the case against Combs.
“This amended complaint and the recent racketeering case against Mr. Buzbee exposes his barrage of lawsuits against Mr. Combs for what they are: shameless publicity stunts, designed to extract payments from celebrities who fear lies about them are spread, just as lies have been spread about them. spread across Mr. Combs,” the statement read.
It continued: “As his legal team has previously said, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually abused or trafficked anyone – male or female, adult or minor.”
