‘Prominent’ Figure Sues Lawyer Representing Sean Combs Accusers for Extortion


An unnamed celebrity has sued Tony Buzbee, claiming the Houston attorney who is representing 120 clients against Sean Combs, is extorting him.

The John Doe’s lawyer claims Buzbee has pivoted to seeking monetary damages from other deep-pocketed figures in light of Combs being held without bail and “payments [are] unlikely to be forthcoming” in the near future. The Jane and John Doe accusers claim they were assaulted and sometimes drugged at White Parties, award show after-parties, department store stockrooms, industry events, and at Combs’ own home. Southern District of New York prosecutors claim that Combs used his billion-dollar empire as a “criminal enterprise” to commit a range of offenses, according to the indictment, including “sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”
